Controlling the N109X
There are three ways to control the N109X system
–– A PC directly connected to the N109X with a USB cable
–– An 86100D mainframe connected to the N109X with a USB cable. (The 86100D can then be
controlled via GPIB or LAN)
–– For an automated test system environment, the simplest and preferred method to control
the N109X is to connect the primary test system PC to a low-cost modern PC via LAN.
The FlexDCA interface resides on the second PC. The second PC is then connected to
the N109X via USB. This eliminates most issues of compatibility between an existing test
system PC and the N109X hardware and can greatly simplify converting an 86100D system
to an N109X system
