The driver function can be confirmed by looking into the computer’s
device manager. The instrument will show up as a Remote NDIS
device under Network Adapters (see screen capture below).
The next step to test the communication is to open up a terminal
program and establish a TCP/IP winsock connection. The example
below is using HyperTerminal
®
Terminal program.
First, determine the device’s IP address using the instrument screen
by pressing the info tag. Each GP Flow insturment will have an
unique IP address.
Next, enter the IP
address into the
terminal’s connection
dialog. Set the connection
to TCP/IP and enter the
port number of 3607. This
is shown in the
HyperTerminal
®
Connection dialog.
