The software that drives Bentham monochromators and SignalRecovery lock-in amplifiers to measure spectral responses

It currently supports

1. Bentham TMc300 monochromator
2. Signal Recovery lock-in ampifier (through NI VISA-USB interface)
3. Older Bentham monochromator (through NI-VISA interface)

• Visual studio 2010 or visual C# express 2010
• .NET framework 4.0
• Only support 32-bit system. (In Project properties->Build->Platform Target, select "x86" instead of "Any CPU")
• National instrument NI488.2 driver (NI 488.2.3.x), with .NET 4.0 support (http://sine.ni.com/psp/app/doc/p/id/psp-356)
• National instrument NI-VISA driver (v5.3 or v5.4), with .NET 4.0 support (http://sine.ni.com/psp/app/doc/p/id/psp-411)
• The .dll files that required to run TMc300 monochromator is already included in the project directory

• DLLs of NI libraries not found: This usually occurs when National Instrument DLLs are updated to a newer version, or this visual stdio project is compiled at different versions of MS Windows. Here is the solution:
  • Right-click "References" of "Spectal Response AQ" project in Solution Explorer
  • Select "Add Reference"
  • Select ".NET" tab
  • Add the following references:
    • NationalInstruments.Common
    • NationalInstruments.Common.Native
    • NationalInstrument.NiLmClientDLL
    • NationalInstrument.VisaNS
