PXD 222 Digitizer
Install LcIVIScopeDemo (optional)
This LcIVIScopeDemo program illustrates the use of the Basic IVI Scope Class Drivers to control
the PXD 222 Digitizer. To use this demo, you will need to install the BICDSetup.exe installation
program provided on the CD-ROM (also currently available from National Instruments at no
charge). Then you will need to create a new “IVI Instruments” setup in MAX using the Logical
Names wizard. This process modifies the IVI.INI file; examples of the file for Win98 and Win2000
systems are provided on the CD-ROM. Make a backup of your existing IVI.INI file and copy the
example file into the VXIPNP/niivi directory. Perform a Refresh (F5) in MAX to see the new IVI
Instrument setup.
Prior to running the IVIScope demo program, make sure that the link to the PXD 222 DLL is cor-
rect. Open MAX, and right-click on the LcPXD 222 Digitizer selection under “IVI Instruments
?
Instrument Drivers.” This will open up the properties window for the driver. Verify that the “File”
selection is set to the LcPXD222_32.dll file. (The parser in MAX may not have read the directory
structure accurately.) Click “Browse” and navigate to the location of the DLL on your system. Most
installations will place this file within the VXIPNP/Win**/Bin directory path, where “**” is either “95”
or “NT”.
Once the set-up is correct, you can use the IVIScope demo program. This program is similar to the
Quick-Start Demo but uses the basic IVI class driver subroutine names. For more information
