LDS-TOOLS Software

In order to communicate with the controller, the user must have a terminal
or a computer capable of communicating with external devices via a RS-232-C
or IEEE-488 interface.
One approach is to use a communications software that can emulate a termi-
nal. An other solution is to use NEWPORT software, Windows 3.11, Windows
95 and Windows NT compatible, and delivered with the LDS1000
Controller.
