– Compatibility & Integration
Control via N1010A FlexDCA software (free download) running on a user-provided PC over USB 2.0/3.0 connection. Direct PC control, mainframe integration (86100D or N1000A) via USB, or remote test system control via LAN is supported. SCPI command access over LAN (VXI-11 or HiSlip). Minimum PC requirements: Intel I3 processor, 4 GB memory, Windows 7 (32/64-bit) for single-channel setups; Intel I5 or better with 8 GB memory and Windows 7 (64-bit) for parallel test configurations. Legacy FlexDCA programs developed for 86100 or N1000 platforms are compatible.
