Evaluation software

What is the sample software?

To use the MPPC module, it must first be connected to a PC through a USB 1.1 interface. Various
MPPC operations are performed on the PC, and the measured data is transferred to the PC.
The sample software is free evaluation software that comes with the MPPC module. It is designed to
easily perform basic MPPC module operations. Using the sample software allows you to make
measurements on the MPPC module right after the setup. Basic functions of the sample software are
acquiring data, displaying measurement data graphs, and saving data.

System requirements

Evaluation software operation has been verified on the following systems. Operation on other
systems is not guaranteed.
Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional SP4
Microsoft Windows XP Professional SP2
To operate the sample software, you must use a PC that meets the above system requirements.
Although there are no other special requirements, we recommend using a PC with a
high-performance CPU and a large capacity memory. A high-performance CPU and large memory
are especially important when operating two or more MPPC modules simultaneously.

Limit on number of connectable modules

The USB standard supports up to 127 units of the same device connectable to one PC. So up to
127 MPPC modules can theoretically be connected and operated simultaneously. However,
problems with the actual physical connection act to limit the maximum number of units that can
correctly operate while connected.
