Chapter 4 Using IQC5000 with IQC Control
The IQC5000 is controlled through IQC Control. An API is available for controlling the IQC5000, and is detailed in the
IQC5000 API Programming Manual. The following sections detail IQC Control’s Graphical User Interface.
Installing the IQC Control Software and Loading the IQC5000 Firmware
On the IQC5000 software CD shipped with the product, access the file IQC5000_setup_vW.X.Y.ZZZ.exe, where
W.X.Y.ZZZ represents the version number of the installer. This software and firmware installer installs the IQC
Control software, and also updates the firmware on an IQC5000 over Ethernet. The IQC5000 firmware can only be
updated if it is powered on and networked to the PC running the installer. Note that if the firmware on more than
one IQC5000 system is being updated at any given time, it is important to ensure that each IQC5000 has a different
IP address.
The following software is required to run IQC Control:
 Microsoft® Windows 7™ 64-bit or Windows 8™ 64-bit
 Microsoft® Visual C++ 2013 x64 Redistributable Package (included in IQC Control installation)
 Microsoft® .NET Framework 4.5.2 or later
Install the IQC Control software and load IQC5000 firmware
1. Determine the IP address of your IQC5000:
a. Verify that the IQC5000 is powered on and connected to the netw
ork. It is highly recommended to use
a hard-wired Ethernet connection on a network with minimal network traffic while updating.
b. Press the MENU button on the front panel of the IQC5000.
c. Navigate to NIC Parameters through the menu items using the le
ft and right arrow keys.
d. Press the down arrow key until IP Address is selected.
e. The IQC5000 IP Address is shown –
make note, as it will be used in later steps.
2. Completely power off the IQC5000 system. If IQC-MEM is being u
sed, follow the proper power-off sequence, as
described in "Starting and Stopping the System" on page 26.
3. If IQC-MEM is being used and cable
d to the IQC5000, leave the external storage units powered off, then power
on the IQC-MEM unit and allow it to boot for 30 seconds.
4. Power on the IQC5000. Once the front panel displays SYSTEM READ
Y, continue with Step 5.
Note: Wait until front panel displays SYSTEM READY, before continuing t
o Step 5.
5. Run the installer IQC5000_se
tup_vW.X.Y.ZZZ.exe.
6. Click Next. See Figure 23 on page 38.
