Low Voltage Power Supply Project

BURN-IN Labview 7.0 Program Package

What to do after downloading B4_LV70_PRG.zip?

1. Read carefully BURNIN Tester Manual.

2. Unzip B4_LV70_PRG.zip into an empty directory.

3. visaconf.ini file is an example of NIvisa configuration file how to expand virtual COM port numbers

in Labview above usually defined COM1, COM2 addressing. This file is read by Labview and defines

virtual COM port aliases, for instance

[ALIASES]
Alias0 = "'LPT1','ASRL14::INSTR'"
Alias1 = "'COM1','ASRL1::INSTR'"
Alias2 = "'COM2','ASRL2::INSTR'"
Alias3 = "'COM5','ASRL5::INSTR'"
Alias4 = "'COM6','ASRL6::INSTR'"
Alias5 = "'COM7','ASRL7::INSTR'"
Alias6 = "'COM8','ASRL8::INSTR'"
Alias7 = "'COM9','ASRL9::INSTR'"
Alias8 = "'COM10','ASRL10::INSTR'"
Alias9 = "'COM11','ASRL11::INSTR'"
Alias10 = "'COM12','ASRL12::INSTR'"
Alias11 = "'COM13','ASRL13::INSTR'"
NumAliases = 12

It can be problem in MAIN_PRG_BURNIN4v5.vi to properly adjust COMx COMy virtual ports

without changing visaconf.ini file. Make search for this file and add [ALIASES] section.

The original file should be located C:\..\National Instruments\...\NIvisa

4. Unzip DriverVCOMP.zip if needed. It contains FTDI USB to serial communication drivers for Win2k,

update or other required Win device drivers please see http://tools.asix.net/dwnld_ftdi_drivers.htm

5. Open MAIN_PRG_BURNIN4v5.vi (program for BURNIN station No.4. version 5, March 2007)

root program in Labview.

6. All sub-vi procedures called from the main program are in applic directory, Labview will certainly

ask, indicate path for searched files.

7. Testing directory TEST_072008 contains CARDS_BURNIN4.TXT, file needed to pass initialization

procedure when MAIN_PRG_BURNIN4v5.vi is started.

8. Always copy CARDS_BURNIN4.TXT file when creating new testing directory.

Good luck and success...
