Symptoms / Solutions:
To create your own instrument driver you will need Visual Studio 2010 Professional version. The procedure as well as the examples are described in User.Generated.Drivers.C++.VS2010.pdf document located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Focus Microwaves\Load Pull Explorer\Manuals\Drivers\ folder.
Procedure Summary:
- Create a new C++ project in Visual Studio 2010 (MFC DLL).
- Add new class for the driver you want to add.
- In the new class, generate driver type interface functions from the corresponding DLL.
- Add the code for the interface functions (usually SCPI commands – Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments)
- Build the project.
- The new driver should now be available when you define a new instrument in FDCS.
