To successfully install and operate the LSGUI program, you will need the
following equipment :
L-Series AC power source. Supported models are : 751L 6000L

•
-P or -PT programmable controller. Manual controller (Type -M) equipped
L-Series AC sources can not be operated by this program. Contact
California Instruments for information on upgrading to a -P or -PT
controller.
•
PC capable of running Windows 3.1™, Windows for Workgroups 3.11™
or Windows 95™
•
National Instruments PC/IIA or PC-AT/TNT IEEE interface card. Other
vendor IEEE interface cards are not supported unless they are
compatible at the DLL level

.
•
IEEE Cable
Note that the LSGUI can
be run in the absence of an
L-Series power source. If no
AC source is available or a
suitable IEEE controller card
cannot be found, the LSGUI
can be operated in a
simulation mode. The
program will detect these
conditions and start up in
simulation mode after
notifying the operator. Measurements in this case will be simulated and
should not be used for any analytical purpose.
