Host PC to PXI system connection

‎07-19-2017 10:43 PM

Hi everyone,

 

I have a PXI system which contains module 8821 (embedded controller) and 4138 SMU. The PXI system has been changed to boot with Windows. I was able to remote desktop to the PXI system and develop some working SMU codes on it.

 

I would like to use this system as a device which is to be connected to a host PC.

What would be the best way to go about it? Thank you

Make an application that controls the SMU and receives commands via TCP.  Then make an application for the PC to send said commands.  Look into the STM library, as it is a good protocol that handles a lot of things for you.

This is part of a larger .NET application.

I applied server/client on top of the already developed DC Power .NET library. I am able to control the PXI SMU from my PC now.

Thank you
