DeviceDriverRadiCentreTab
There are several methods in which the DeviceDriverRadiCentreTab can be connected to the PC. The DeviceDriverRadiCentreTab can for example be connected directly to the PC, or through a plugincard in a RadiCentre 1 or a multi-slot RadiCentre. More information on how to use the RadiCentre is present in the product manual of the RadiCentre. The settings on the RadiCentre tab can be used to specify how the DeviceDriverRadiCentreTab is connected.
When the DeviceDriverRadiCentreTab is connected to a multi-slot RadiCentre, also the slot number in which the plugincard is fitted, should be specified.
 Directly to PC
|
Specifies that the DeviceDriverRadiCentreTab is connected directly to the PC, without the use of a RadiCentre. |
| RadiCentre 1
|
Specifies that the DeviceDriverRadiCentreTab is connected to a plugincard that is fitted in a RadiCentre 1. |
| RadiCentre multi-slot
|
Specifies that the DeviceDriverRadiCentreTab is connected to a plugincard that is fitted in a multi-slot RadiCentre that also can be manually controlled using the display on the front of the RadiCentre. The slot number in which the plugin card is mounted can also be selected. |
| RadiCentre multi-slot Ultra
|
Specifies that the DeviceDriverRadiCentreTab is connected to a plugincard that is fitted in a multi-slot RadiCentre Ultra. This RadiCentre Ultra has no display, and can only be used when remote controlled. |
The settings on this RadiCentre tab, only specifies if and which RadiCentre is used. The communication settings on the Communication tab specify the connection settings to communication with the measurement device.
The configuration on the Communication tab should be configured depending on the outgoing connection from the PC. Thus if Directly to PC is selected, the communication settings should be configured as what is actually used between the PC and the DeviceDriverRadiCentreTab itself. If RadiCentre 1, RadiCentre multi-slot or RadiCentre multi-slot Ultra is selected, the communication settings should be configured as what is actually used between the PC and the RadiCentre. In the configuration where a RadiPower is connected with USB to a multi-slot RadiCentre, which is connected by GPIB to the PC, the communication settings of the RadiPower device driver should thus be GPIB.
If the DeviceDriverRadiCentreTab is for example connected to slot 3 of a multi-slot RadiCentre which has IP address 192.168.178.95 and is connected by LAN to the PC, the following settings should be configured in the device driver of the DeviceDriverRadiCentreTab:
- RadiCentre tab
- Connection type: RadiCentre multi-slot, using as slot number: 3
- Communication tab
- Communication Stream: VISA
- LAN: 192.168.178.95
