Locating the Instruments

Agilent Connection Expert opens with a welcome screen and window similar

to that shown in Figure 2-4. The computer interfaces configured during instal-

lation are displayed in the left column (Explorer pane), the properties of the

configured interface are displayed in the right column (Properties pane).

To search the network for the counter, highlight the LAN interface (LAN

(TCPIP0)) and select “Add Instrument” located on the Connection Expert tool

bar. After selecting ‘Add Instrument’, Connection Expert performs an auto-

matic find (Auto Find) of all instruments on the same subnet as the computer.

Select the counter from the list and then click ‘OK’. Communication paths to

the instruments are verified and the instruments are added to the configured

interface. Instruments added to the LAN in this manner are subsequently pro-

grammed using VXI-11 protocol.
