ICS provides interactive keyboard control programs which enable engineers to easily communicate with and control instruments without having to write a program. ICS's interactive keyboard programs are available for the following communication media:
All keyboard programs are downloaded as a .zip file. The user may need WINZIP or a similar utility to unzip the files. |

GPIBKybd | Interactively controls GPIB devices using any ICS or NI compatible GPIB Controller. Includes GPIB (IEEE-488.1) command buttons, auto query, device command loops and 488.2 Findlstn protocol. Requires a GPIB-32.dll be installed on the computer. | |
SerKybd | Interactively controls devices with serial interfaces using COM ports 1 to 4 on your PC. Allows you to set the baud rates up to 115.2 kbps. Operates with standard ASCII strings, with address prefix and with packets. Includes device command loops. | |
M95Kybd | A specialized keyboard program that interactively controls the ICS 4895 Serial-to-GPIB Controller and the instruments connected to it. Uses COM ports 1 to 4 on your PC and allows you to set baud rates up to 115.2 kbps. Provides the 4895 initialization sequence. Lets the user send commands to the 4895 and auto formats them for reads and writes to the GPIB instruments. | |
VXI11Kybd | Interactively controls LAN Controllers and Instruments with an VXI-11 compatible Ethernet interface. Supports both LAN-to-GPIB Gateways and LAN Instruments. Uses ICS's proprietary dll to generate the rpc calls. | |
VISAKybd | Interactively controls LAN and GPIB devices. Devices may be defined as an IP address, as a GPIB address or as a VISA resource. Requires an Agilent or National Instruments VISA library be installed on the computer. | |
