Result is an additional FTIR spectrometer driver that must be loaded with
OMNIC. No user-accessible functions are available with Result.
NI-DAQ
The National Instruments NI-DAQ driver software runs the NI PCI-6704
analog board and the NI PCI-6509 digital board. The 6704 board is used
for 4-20 mA data output. The 6509 board is used for digital I/O and
sample system valve control. The NI-DAQ Measurement Explorer can be
used by Thermo Fisher Scientific service personnel for system
troubleshooting.
CALGRafix software can be used for configuration of the CALogix
controllers. The CALogix controllers are located in the Temperature
Control Box (TCB). The controllers are used by the system for cell pressure
readout and system temperature control. See Appendix J, Calogix
controllers.
The CDM – USB driver is loaded to enable a virtual COM port for
communication with the CALogix controllers.
The following data server software, ImaccCurrentLoop, ImaccModbus and
ImaccModbusTCP, can be loaded as needed to provide data output and
control capabilities, as needed.
ImaccCurrentLoop provides analog data output in 4-20ma format.
●
ImaccModbus allows for data output and control input via serial
●
Modbus.
ImaccModbusTCP allows for data output and control input via
●
Ethernet Modbus.
This software runs concurrently under the control of the Imacc server.
ImaccCurrentLoop.exe operates the National Instruments PCI-6704
analog output board running under Windows XP. The program opens in a
minimized state so it is necessary to click on the taskbar to open it for
observation or for changing the configuration. The top section of the ICL
window allows the user to assign the data channels. The Valid Data
Settings section transmits a TTL signal that describes the status of the
instrument on any of the digital output lines. The Configure section allows
