53220A/53230A Software Installation and Interface Configuration 2
After the IO libraries have been installed, close the installation wizard. If
applicable, continue with instrument driver installation as described below.
Otherwise, continue with the ”Adding Instruments to the PC Interface” sec-
tion of this chapter.
Installing Instrument Drivers
Interchangeable Virtual Instrument (IVI) drivers (when available) are used for
programming the 53220A/53230A with Agilent VEE, with National Instru-
ments LabVIEW , or in Microsoft development environments.
Install the appropriate driver based on the development environment you are
using (Table 2-1). Accept all default directories specified during installation
if prompted. Setup type “Typical” is applicable for most users.
Adding Instruments to the PC Interface
During installation of the Agilent IO Libraries, the IO interfaces (LAN, USB,
GPIB) detected on the PC are configured. This section contains information
for programmatically adding the 53220A/53230A to those interfaces using the
Agilent IO Libraries ‘Connection Expert’ utility.
Simultaneous LAN/USB/GPIB connections to the instrument are allowed.
NOTE
Installing the Agilent IO Libraries installs the Interchangeable Virtual Instrument
(IVI) Shared Components. The IVI Shared Components are required before the IVI
drivers (e.g. IVI-COM, IVI-C)can be installed.
NOTE
The figures used in this chapter represent the latest version of the IO Libraries
available at the time of printing. While you may have a different version, the pro-
cess of configuring and adding instruments remains basically the same.
