Instrument Communication Utility

The Instrument Communication Utility is designed to enable serial (USB) or TCP/IP communication with Lake Shore instruments that support those forms of communication. It will enable the user to detect which COM ports are available on a local computer. It also allows the user to connect to remote, Ethernet connected instruments. In both serial and TCP/IP connected sessions, the user can send commands and receive responses from the connected instrument. It is designed as a basic diagnostic utility, to streamline troubleshooting and to assist with Lake Shore service requests.
