Download and Install

A collection of LI-6400 Apps for OS X, Windows, and Linux is available on the CD that ships with the instrument, or for download.

Windows

The installer is an executable that will install three apps, and put their icons on your desktop.

Mac OS X

The installer is a .dmg. Once mounted, simply drag the LI-6400Apps to the Applications folder shortcut. Once you have done that, you can eject the disk, and use the Finder to navigate to /Applications/LI-6400Apps, and double click the app you wish to run.

Linux

The source code for the apps is in a .tar.gz file, which contains a .spec file for installing and building.

LI6400XTerm

This program allows remote control of any LI-6400 through RS-232, Ethernet, or over the Internet via the li6400.licor.com server. You can also use LI6400XTerm for file exchange between the instrument and your computer. See Using LI6400XTerm.

LI6400Group

This program allows control of multiple LI-6400s. See Using Using LI6400Group.

LI6400Sim

This program simulates an LI-6400, and is useful for seeing how things work (testing AutoPrograms, for example) when there is no instrument at hand to use (Figure 11‑3). The simulator supports previous versions of OPEN as well. In the preferences dialog, you can select versions all the way back to 3.4.3.
