connecting cfp-2020 to QSI's Qterm-g75

[fios]

Well, I fing myself in sunny Singapore, and have the opportunity to try out the cfp-2020 with a qsi Qterm-g75 unit.  However I'm having a little difficulty getting the two to link up.  Any suggestions?  (Even the most basic answer may help!)

Hi,

  the Qterms require you to use Clarity Foundry to actually program them up. The model you have I believe uses ethernet for communications.

On QSI's website, you'll find a download for the objects for Clarity Foundry which carry items to do with a particular port to communicate through.

The executable has documentation and example code which should give you a good starting point.

Essentially, on the cFP, you'll transmit and receive TCP packets, and on the G75, the objects it links to will be automatically handling the packets of data.

You should only then need to setup the IP addresses at the LabVIEW end to handle the client connection.

Hope that helps

Thanks
