EXFO IQS-600 Integrated Qualification System - Manual (Page 201)

Using IQS Products in an Automated Test Environment
Integrated Qualification System 193
Working with EXFO LabVIEW Drivers
The following table presents the possible settings for communication
parameters. These parameters must be set from LabVIEW for each
instrument.
Note: If you have modified the identification number of your IQS controller unit,
use this number to form the IQS slot number. For example, for a controller
unit configured as “999”, the IQS slot number will correspond to 999,
immediately followed by the number of the slot (0 to 9) where the
instrument has been inserted.
Note: When you are working with platform or IEEE 488.2 commands, you can
leave the slot number at its current value.
