Host Interface

The K-TS1 is equipped with an USB interface FT232R from FTDI Chip. To operate the USB interface,

you need a so called "Virtual Com Port" or VCP driver. This driver emulates a serial interface so that

the USB device appears to the PC as an additional COM port.

VCP Drivers are available for all major operating systems at: http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm.

Communication Settings

The USB VCP (Virtual Com Port) Interface works with the following setting:

Baudrate:

38'400 baud

Databits:

8

Parity:

none

Handshake:

none

Communication Protocol

Communication protocol is ASCII character based, so that a simple terminal software is sufficient to

operate the K-TS1 system.

The K-TS1 device always acts as server / producer. So K-TS1 is always under control of the client

system. The client may be a terminal or a host software like LabVIEW or a software located in the

UUT itself. The protocol is shown here by means of a standard ANSI terminal software such as

Windows "Hyperterminal". Acquisition software should simply bypass the help texts and escape

sequences and works with the same commands as shown here.
