Interfaces and outputs
USB interface
The Universal Serial Bus (USB) is a serial bus system for connec-
ting the KS 3000 to the PC. Devices with USB capabilities can be
connected and disconnected whilst in operation (hot-plugging);
connected devices and their properties are also detected automa-
tically.
The USB interface is used in conjunction with labworldsoft
®
for
operation in “Remote” mode
Installation
Connect the KS 3000 to the PC using the USB data cable. The KS
3000 will then transmit information to the Windows operating
system to tell it which device drivers are required. Windows will
then either:
- Load the driver
- Install the driver automatically, if it is not already installed
- Prompt the user to perform a manual installation
- In this case, select the appropriate download from the IKA
Internet product page.
Configuration
The unit can be controlled from an external PC (using the dedica-
ted software labworldsoft) via the RS 232 C serial interface / USB
fitted to the unit.
To increase safety when controlling the shaking unit from
a PC, enable the watchdog function for monitoring the
continuous serial data flow (see section watchdog function)

The above statements largely correspond with the recommenda-
tions of the NAMUR-Assocation (NAMUR-recommendations for
the design of electric plug connections for the analog and digital
signal transmission to labortory - MSR individual units. Rev. 1.1).
