Remote Interface (API) Programming Command Reference 6
E6651A User’s Guide 77
Step 1 - Copy and Reference the Dynamic Link Library (DLL)
First copy the DLL and header files from the CD- ROM to a
suitable location on your development computer. For
development programming environments such as the
Microsoft Visual Studio Integrated Development Environment
(IDE), the programming language needs to first reference the
E6651A DLL. How this is done varies between development
environments.
Required Files:
• E6651_API.dll
• E6651_API.h
Reference the file: E6651_API.DLL
Step 2 - Install the IPX LAN protocol
Whilst TCP/IP is the most commonly used internet protocol,
the IPX protocol is used for communication between the
E6651A Test Set and your computer. Typically a computer
does not have this protocol installed by default, but it is
part of the Windows operating system and can be added
using Windows XP system tools.
Addition of the IPX protocol does not interfere with normal
communications using the default TCP/IP protocol.
Proceed as follows:
1 Using the Windows XP desktop, click start > Control Panel.
2 Select Network Connections.
3 In the Network Connections Window, right click on the
Local Area Connection icon and select Properties. The 'LAN
Connection Properties' Window is displayed.
