  24. <h1>Supported Platforms and Hardware</h1>
  25. <p>This section details the hardware and software that Typica
  26. has been tested with and what is known to work. Other
  27. arrangements may work but have not been tested.</p>
  28. <h2>Operating Systems</h2>
  29. <p>Precompiled builds of Typica are provided for Microsoft
  30. Windows and Mac OS X. The Microsoft Windows build has been
  31. tested as working on both Windows 7 and Windows 10. It might
  32. work on Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows 8 but this has not been tested.</p>
  33. <p>The Mac OS X build has been tested on Mac OS X 10.6 through 10.11. The build is also only for Macs with Intel processors. Note that at the time of this writing National Instruments hardware is known to not work starting with OS X 10.10 or later. If National Instruments starts advertising that a newer version of NI DAQmx Base works with current operating system releases and supported hardware, Typica will probably work with that, but there's nothing that anybody else can do about that other than choosing different hardware.</p>
  34. <p>Source code is provided which may be used to build Typica
  35. on Linux, PowerPC based Macs, and possibly other platforms,
  36. however instructions on doing this are beyond the scope of this
  37. document.</p>
  38. <a name="hardware" />
  39. <h2>Data Acquisition Hardware</h2>
  40. <p>On Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X, the National Instruments
  41. NI 9211 module is supported in either the
  42. <a href="http://sine.ni.com/nips/cds/view/p/lang/en/nid/13880">NI USB-9161</a>
  43. or
  44. <a href="http://sine.ni.com/nips/cds/view/p/lang/en/nid/201881">NI USB-9162</a>
  45. USB carrier using NI DAQmx Base supporting software which is
  46. available for download from National Instruments. Note that the
  47. different USB carriers require different versions of this software.
  48. Using the 9161 carrier you will need
  49. <a href="http://joule.ni.com/nidu/cds/view/p/id/428/lang/en">NI-DAQmx Base 2.1 on Mac OS X</a>
  50. or
  51. <a href="http://joule.ni.com/nidu/cds/view/p/id/424/lang/en">NI-DAQmx Base 2.2 on Microsoft Windows</a>.
  52. Using the 9162 carrier, you will need
  53. <a href="http://joule.ni.com/nidu/cds/view/p/id/3431/lang/en">NI DAQmx Base 3.6 on Mac OS X</a>
  54. or
  55. <a href="http://joule.ni.com/nidu/cds/view/p/id/3436/lang/en">NI DAQmx Base 3.6 on Microsoft Windows</a>.
  56. Please check documentation
  57. available from National Instruments regarding Linux support if you
  58. intend to build Typica on Linux.</p>
  59. <p>On <strong>Microsoft Windows only</strong> the National
  60. Instruments NI 9211 module can be used with the
  61. <a href="http://sine.ni.com/nips/cds/view/p/lang/en/nid/201881">NI USB-9162</a>
  62. USB carrier or the
  63. <a href="http://sine.ni.com/nips/cds/view/p/lang/en/nid/209887">NI cDAQ-9171</a>.
  64. The
  65. <a href="http://sine.ni.com/nips/cds/view/p/lang/en/nid/208177">NI USB-TC01</a>
  66. is also an option on
  67. this platform. This has been tested with
  68. <a href="http://joule.ni.com/nidu/cds/view/p/id/3622/lang/en">NI-DAQmx 9.6.1</a>. A newer hardware revision has been released which no longer works with NI-DAQmx 9.6.1. If you encounter an error related to firmware being too new, try the latest version of NI-DAQmx.
  69. Note that NI-DAQmx should not be installed at the same time as NI-DAQmx Base 3.6
  70. however it is fine to have it installed at the same time as NI-DAQmx Base 2.2.</p>
  71. <p>On all platforms, devices which communicate using the Modbus
  72. RTU protocol can be used. Currently only one such device is
  73. supported per bus and measurements must be delivered in scaled
  74. integer representation. You will need the communications manual
  75. for whichever device you choose in order to set up Typica. This
  76. has been tested with the Fuji PXR4 PID controller, but most
  77. similar devices with Modbus RTU support should also work. Typica
  78. does not require any supporting software for this hardware,
  79. however most of these devices use RS-485 for the physical connection
  80. and you may need an RS-485 to USB adapter and you may need to
  81. install driver software before this adapter will work correctly.
  82. Consult the manuals for your hardware for more details.</p>
  83. <p>If you're not sure what hardware will work best for you, there is a video that covers all of the options and what's good or bad about each of those.</p>

  140. <h2>Connecting Hardware</h2>
  141. <p>If you are using the Phidgets 1048 or National Instruments devices and your coffee roaster already has a thermocouple installed, you might find the following video helpful in connecting your existing thermocouples to your data acquisition hardware. The video uses a Diedrich SR-1 and a National Instruments NI USB-9211, but the same procedure works with a wide range of commercial roasting equipment and other data acquisition devices.</p>
