a Phi 50-096 DLL that in turn communicates with the 50-096.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 This DLL was originally written for old 32 bit XP PCs and there are some tricks involved with getting it to install and operate correctly on a Windows 10 machine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Note that the RS232 cable needs to be a straight rough type.     Most newer PCs do not have a RS232 port so you will need to get a USB to RS232 adaptor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The steps involved are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>Copy the 50-096 DLL to the windows\/SysWOW64\nfolder<\/li><li>Register the 50-096 DLL<\/li><li>Set up the Com port <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Step 1.&nbsp; Copy the\n50-096 DLL to the PC.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; You can copy it\nanywhere on the PC, but initially copy it to the AugerScan directory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Step 2.&nbsp; Register the\n50-096 DLL.&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>Right click on the Start icon and select Command\nPrompt (Admin).&nbsp;&nbsp; Or if that does not\nwork, search for Command Prompt and Run as Admin<\/li><li>Type cd\\Windows\\SysWOW64 then press enter<\/li><li>Type regSvr32 Model_50_096.dll and press enter<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>You should get a message that indicates that the\nModel_50_096.dll was registered.&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Step 3.&nbsp; Set up the\ncom port.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>Type Registry Editor in the search box and then\nrun the registry editor as Admin<\/li><li>Go to \\\\HKEY_Current_USER\\Software\\ULVAC_PHI\\HARDWARE\\X_RAY_CONTOL\\<\/li><li>Add a new string (which will add a new key)<\/li><li>Name the new key ComPort<\/li><li>Verify the type of key is REG_SZ<\/li><li>Put in the com port number that you are connecting\nto the 50-096.&nbsp; It needs to be COM (all\ncaps) plus the com port number.&nbsp; So for\nexample, COM3.<\/li><li>The 50-096 operates at 9600 baud with no parity\nand 8 data bits.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>The 50-096 in now ready to operate with AugerScan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Note:<\/strong> When first turned on, the Model 50-096 X-ray source power supply\nneeds to be programmed to operate at 15 keV. To do this, perform the following\nsteps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1. Press the Local button under Control Select.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2. Press the Start button for the Water Pump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3. Press the High Voltage button above the\nkeypad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4. Press the Display\/Enter Setpoints button\nabove the keypad. (LED should light.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>5. Press 1 &#8211; 5 &#8211; 0 &#8211; # on the keypad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>6. Press the remote button under Control Select.\nThe 50-096 will retain the 15 keV setting until it is manually turned off or\nthere is a power interruption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once this is set up AugerScan will automatically turn the\n50-096 source on and off during and after acquisitions.&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tip:&nbsp;&nbsp; If you program\nin 12 or 13kV then that is what will be used when the 50-096 is turned on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>50-096 X-ray source DLL installation and setup for Windows 10 Overview The 50-096 X-ray source control uses a RS232 serial port to communicate with the PC.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 AugerScan talks to a Phi 50-096 DLL that in turn communicates with the 50-096.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbdinstruments.com\/blog\/50-096-x-ray-source-control-dll-using-windows-10\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"50-096 X-ray source control DLL using Windows 10    This blog post shows how to get the 32 bit DLL for the 50-096 to run on a 64 bit Windows 10 PC.
