5 SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION
Follow the instructions provided with TracQ Basic to install the software onto a computer. The software is
used to control the LIDA settings. After the setup is complete, TracQ Basic allows the user to select the
desired chopping frequency and operating parameters for the SR810.
The software is also able to control various Oriel monochromators. Please refer to the user's manual
included with the software for a list of compatible instruments.
5.1 ESTABLISHING COMMUNICATION
The SR810 must be connected to the computer with the GPIB/USB cable and powered on before
opening the software application. When starting the TracQ Basic software for the first time,
prompts guide the user to select the detection instrument and monochromator for the system. If
no monochromator instrument is to be used, click Cancel. Otherwise, select the instrument based
on the instructions provided with the software.
To select the LIDA, navigate to the following folder:
C:\Program Files\Newport – Oriel Instruments\TracQ Basic.
Highlight the folder named "SR810", then click Select Folder.
Verify that the indicator on the front panel of the software is green for the Detection Instrument and
monochromator, if utilized. If the SR810 communication cannot be established, go to Detector
Instr. Setup Communication and verify the appropriate GPIB address is selected.
The GPIB address should match the setting on the SR810. To view the GPIB address on the
SR810, press the Setup button under INTERFACE on the front panel of the instrument until the
Address LED is illuminated. The right side reference display will show the GPIB address. To
change the address, rotate the SR810 front panel knob.
