stops receiving data and could cause a problem. We solved this problem by setting our controller
to use a 'static' IP address instead of a 'dynamic' IP address.
24. When you are satisfied with your controller's operation and configuration you can close
HyperTerminal.
25. Plug the GPIB-Ethernet Controller directly, or using a GPIB cable, on to the GPIB connector of the
source device.
Setup PrintCapture
To setup PrintCapture's Prologix GPIB-Ethernet Control interface go to Setup> Configuration> Prologix
LAN.
1. Select the MAC Address for your Prologix GPIB-Ethernet Controller. If it is not listed, and you know it
is connected to your network, you can try the "Search" button to see if it can be found on your
network.
2. Check the IP Address to see if it is a Static IP Address. See Step 23 above.
3. Select the GPIB address you want to use with your GPIB system.
4. Set End-of-Data Processing Timeout to about 5 seconds.
GPIB-USB Controller 6.0 and 4.2
Setup GPIB-USB Controller
Make sure you have access to the manual for this device. It is online at www.prologix.biz. You should
print it for easier viewing.
This GPIB-USB Controller uses on-board memory to configure the interface,
1. Make sure you have downloaded the Virtual COM Port (VCP) device drivers for the FT245R from the
FTDI website at www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm
2. Make sure you have downloaded the device driver installation guide from the FTDI website at
www.ftdichip.com/Documents/InstallGuides.htm.
3. Connect the GPIB-USB Controller to the computer with a USB cable.
4. Install the FTDI device driver according to the FTDI installation guide.
5. Start the HyperTerminal program. When you do you will probably have to select a name and icon for
the connection. "Prologix" is a good name and easy to remember. From now on we will assume you
picked "Prologix" as the name.
6. HyperTerminal will display a "Connect To" dialog box.
7. In the "Connect Using" list box select the COM port assigned to your GPIB-USB Controller.
Everything else is disabled.
8. Click "OK".
9. The "COMx Properties" dialog box will be displayed with the "Port Settings" tab. Enter these settings:
• "Bits per second" = 2400. Actually is setting is not really used. You can set it to anything.
• "Data bits" = 8.
• "Parity" = None.
• "Stopbits" =1.
• "Flow control" =
• Hardware.
• Click "OK".
10. The status bar at the bottom of HyperTerminal should display "Connected …", "AutoDetect", and
"Auto Detect" (or something very similar).
