Chapter 3 Hardware Setup 83
Interface Tab Page
With the exception of the V/ICCD and the V/ICCD Control Box, the Display Tab Page
is the same for all controllers and the selections are as follows. In the case of V/ICCD
and V/ICCD Control Box, the only Hardware Setup tab pages are Controller/Camera
and Display.
Type:
Select the communications type that will be used to transmit data from the
controller to the computer. All communications types are not available for all
controllers and computers. The Demo selection, which allows the software to be
exercised but which doesn’t support data transfer to the computer, would not
ordinarily be used in the field.
High Speed ISA:
Select if PI ISA high-speed serial Interface card is installed
in the computer in an ISA slot.
High Speed PCI:
Select if PI PCI high-speed serial Interface card is installed
in your computer and you wish data transfer to be interrupt driven. This
choice would give the highest performance in most situations.
PCI Timer:
Allows data transfer to be controlled by a polling timer if using PCI
high-speed serial Interface card. Useful for troubleshooting possible
interrupt problems (computer crashes or system fails to return data).
Note that data transfer is slower in PCI Timer mode and data overrun
more likely. Also PCI Timer cannot be used to continuously acquire
small Regions of Interest in asynchronous operation. PCI Timer isn’t
