Note
Before using the USB remote control, you will need to
install the USB device driver(inf file) that is included on
the CD accompanying accessories.
Panel
operation
1.
Connect the USB cable to the rear panel
USB B port.
2.
Press the Function key to enter the Normal
configuration settings.
Set the following USB settings:
F-22 = 2
Set the rear panel USB port to
USB-CDC.
F-22 = 3
Set the rear panel USB port to
USB-CDC (Full speed only)
2.1.2 Configure GP-IB Interface
To use GP-IB, the optional GP-IB to USB (GUG-001) adapter must be
used. The GP-IB to USB adapter must be connected before the PSW is
turned on. Only one GP-IB address can be used at a time.
Configure
GP-IB
1.
Ensure the PSW is off before proceeding.
2.
Connect the USB cable from the rear panel USB B port
on the PSW to the USB A port on the GP-IB to USB
adapter.

3.
Connect a GP-IB cable from a GP-IB controller to the
GP-IB port on the adapter.
Type B plug for
PSW series
Type A plug From
computer
GUG-001
4.
Turn the PSW on.
5.
Press the Function key to enter the Normal
configuration settings.
Set the following GP-IB settings:
F-22 = 1
Set the rear panel USB port to
GPIB-USB (GUG-001)
F-23 = 0~30
Set the GP-IB address (0~30/Default: 8)
GP-IB
constraints
Maximum 15 devices altogether, 20m cable length, 2m
between each device
Unique address assigned to each device
At least 2/3 of the devices turned On
No loop or parallel connection
2.1.3 Configure Ethernet Connection
The Ethernet interface can be configured for a number of different
applications. Ethernet can be configured for basic remote control or
monitoring using a web server or it can be configured as a socket server.
The PSW series supports both DHCP connections so the instrument can
be automatically connected to an existing network or alternatively, network
settings can be manually configured.

2.1.4 Web Server Configuration
Configuration
This configuration example will configure the PSW as a
web server and use DHCP to automatically assign an IP
address to the PSW.
1.Connect an Ethernet cable from the network
to the rear panel Ethernet port.
LAN
2. Press the Function key to enter the Normal
configuration settings.
Set the following LAN settings:
F-36 = 1
Enable LAN
F-37 = 1
Turn DHCP to enable
F-59 = 1
Turn the web server on
Note
It may be necessary to cycle the power or refresh the
web browser to connect to a network.
2.1.5 Sockets Server Configuration
Configuration
This configuration example will configure the PSW for
web sockets control.
The following configuration settings will manually assign
the PSW an IP address and enable web sockets. By
default, the socket port number is 2268 and cannot be
configured.
1. Connect an Ethernet cable from the network
to the rear panel Ethernet port.
LAN
2. Press the Function key to enter the Normal
configuration settings.
3. Set the following LAN settings:
F-36 = 1

Install a driver(TEXIO_CDC.inf) from Manual CD. The USB
device driver of psw is more downloadable than our
homepage .
When USB connects psw to a computer for the first time,
installation of the USB device driver is required.
Please perform the installation from the Device Manager if a
computer can’t recognize psw.
Control Panel –All Control Panel Items –Device Manager –
Other Device –PSW (Right click)
–Update driver Software
Please prepare the Terminal application(Such as PuTTY
or RealTerm). Serial communication settings are as
follows.
Baud rate
