Other General 5200 File Information
The basic calling sequence of executable and DLL files in the 5200 installation is as follows:
• PC5200.EXE is an executable application that provides the graphical meter interface on the computer’s monitor. This may be useful for some
simple remote monitoring applications etc., but is not very useful for integrating a 5200 into any sort of automated system or testing
environment via any generic programming language. PC5200.EXE calls functions that are exported by lib5100.DLL.
• Lib5100.DLL exports a collection of .NET classes that handle the high level connection and display functions. It calls functions that are
exported by usb5100.DLL. Note: File name was not updated to 5200, but it is compatible.
• Usb5100.DLL exports many functions that actually do the USB connection and communication with the 5200 meter. This is the DLL that
provides the functions used by the test & calibration system during manufacture. It calls functions that are exported by libusb0.dll. The
functions in this DLL should be able to be called by most higher level programming languages using the methods described earlier in this
document. Note: File name was not updated to 5200, but it is compatible.
• Libusb0.DLL is part of the device driver package and exports very low-level generic USB access functions. These are not specific to the
5200.
