Using the HSA
2.2 Software for Interfacing with the HSA
Your options for controlling the HSA are:
● SpecsLab2, including the HSA Juggler.
● Custom made programs using the SpecsLab DLL “SL2_AD.dll”, see SL2_AD.h
and the Software 2D Manual (SPECS order number: 78 000184)
● National Instruments' Labview® is also supported using the special DLL
SL2_AD_VI.dll. SPECS provides also a sample VI in the folder programming in
side the SPECSLab2 software package. For implemenation tips
seeSL2_AD_DLL_Test.vi and SL2_AD.h from this software package.
● Other possibilities are remote control of applications like SpecsLab2 using
Windows Messages
● Using directly the public CORBA-interfaces of the SPECS device drivers is also
possible but intermediate programming skills is for this solution a good
thing.
● A low level tool for advanced users called “hsa3500tool” is also available. See
chapter 4.5 on page 71.
2.3 Troubleshooting
This chapter provides a guide for troubleshooting problems with the HSA. Possible
problems fall into three categories.
1. More than one beep after switching the HSA on
- Incorrect hardware type
- Module is in wrong slot or module is missing
2. Error LED (red) on front panel is on
- Recalibrating from one or more modules faulty (HSA3500 only)
- No firmware
- CAN-Bus error
