Supported Hardware: USB 2.0 and USB 1.1
Supported Protocol: USBTMC class and USB488 subclass
Installing Driver Program:
The USB Interface of 66203/66204 supports USBTMC; therefore, if the PC’s OS supports
USBTMC (the PC has installed NI-VISA runtime 3.00 or above) there is no need to install
other drivers in particular. The OS will search the standard USBTMC for installation
automatically.
If the PC’s OS does not support USBTMC, it is suggested to install NI-VISA runtime 3.00 or
above first. The USBTMC driver will be in the OS once the NI-VISA runtime is installed.
Power on the Digital Power Meter after connected it with the PC via USB cable and the PC
can use the 66203/66204 SCPI commands through NI-VISA to communicate with the Digital
Power Meter.
