HP-IB Gateway.

Start Automatically
If "Yes" is activated the User Software starts automatically after logon. This can be useful for a
controlled system where you don't have to care about display properties. The setting takes effect as
soon as the DVT user logs in.

Build your System

Build Systems
Checks the available modules and creates new configuration files dvtsys txt and dvtits.txt. The
present files are saved as dvtsys.bak and dvtits.bak.
NOTE: Executing Build System twice will overwrite your backup files.
The default generated system name is DSRA. If the mainframe contains more than one master
clock module, additional systems (DSRB, DSRC,...) are automatically set up.
Build System must be processed due to any change in your hardware.
Build System is not needed if you are upgrading from a previous User Software version without
changing hardware.

Define your I/O Interface

Enter the VISA name according to your chosen VXI I/O configuration.
Please refer to "Start"−> "HP I_O Libraries"−> "I/O Config" to find the appropriate VISA name for
your configured interfaces.
Typically the VISA name for a VXI interface is VXI0, for a HP-IB interface it is GPIB0.
If you are upgrading from a previous User Software version, you need to enter the interface name you
have used before to ensure that you can still run existing programs after the upgrade. Please refer to
the file dvtits.txt to find your previously used interface name.
