8.Optional Fluke 45 DVM with IEEE-488 option
9.Optional GPIB cable 1 meter length or longer
    
Note: if you do not have Fluke 45 DVM so you may need another brand or model instead. However, this document is referring to IEEE-488 commands over Fluke 45 so you must replace with suitable command so that to make your device works properly.

Software Requirement
====================
1.Microsoft® Windows® 98, ME, NT 4 SP6, 2000 or XP
2.Microsoft® Visual Basic® Version 6.0 SP5
3.National Instrument (NI) IEEE-488 GPIB card Driver Version 1.6 or later 
4.Practical Software (PS) Test Development Class Library

Setup and configure your system
===============================
Prepare you hardware, connect all keyboard, mouse, monitor to PC also if you have GPIB card so please plug it into suitable slot then connect GPIB cable between your PC via NI GPIB card to your device such Fluke 45 DVM (please do consult with your vendor’s manuals for detail and safety).

For notebook machine, you may instead use NI GPIB on PCMCIA slot or USB port. Please check them from www.ni.com NI web site for more information.

Anyway, if you can not find any GPIB card or devices so you still play our class library by get in simulate mode that will be show and explain in later.

Assuming you has installed OS and VB6. Then you need to install NI GPIB driver and test so that make sure your NI GPIB card and device is works well (again, please do consult with NI’s manuals for detail and safety)

Installing PS class library, there are 3 files PSTestDev.dll, PSVisualStyle.ocx and Cast.dll that need copy into your system. However, I would like recommend place them in <SystemRoot>\System32 folder. 
    
Assuming you have copied them into C:\Winnt\System32\ then you need to register so that let OS know the new software components are installed in your system as below:

    C:\Winnt\System32 regsvr32 PSTestDev.dll
    C:\Winnt\System32 regsvr32 PSVisualStyle.ocx
    C:\Winnt\System32 regsvr32 Cast.dll
    Note: you may use oue included batch file (Register.bat) instead.
 
The rest of supporting files such VB6 Runtime, ADO/DAO Database drivers. They should include with VB6 and OS.

License Registration
====================
Practical Software allows you run the class library without the registration (Unlicensed Mode). However, the feature between Unlicensed and Licensed Mode will be same but Unlicensed Mode will show About form by 5 second and show only one time after you have first created object from class library.

You can register our class library to your system by click License button then you will see form License Entry.   

To registration, you will need enter both License and Unlocked Code then click OK. For more information how to get License and Unlocked Code please see file Order.doc that included in software package setup program.

More information please find enclosed document Test Library Programming Guide and Reference.pdf.
