53220A/53230A Software Installation and Interface Configuration 2
Disabling the LAN Interface
The LAN interface can be disabled from the front panel by selecting I/O Config
followed by LAN Off and cycling power on the instrument. When disabled, the
interface cannot be configured by the Connection Expert utility.
Opening the Web Interface from Agilent Connection Expert
The LAN interface is the only IO interface from which the counter’s
Web-enabled user interface can be accessed. To open the Web UI, highlight the
configured LAN instrument (Figure 2-4) and select “Instrument Web Inter-
face...” from the Connection Expert window.
Configuring the USB Interface
The 53220A/53230A is a high-speed USB 2.0 device. Connection to the instru-
ment is through the Type B USB connector located on the instrument rear
panel.
Adding Instruments to the USB Configuration
With the 53220A/53230A and PC connected through the USB cable, start Agi-
lent Connection Expert (Figure 2-4) if it is not already open. The PC should
detect the presence of the USB device. If necessary, right-click the USB inter-
face (USB0) and then select “Refresh This Interface”.
Connection Expert will attempt to establish a communication path to the
instrument. If successful, the instrument will be added to the list of USB
configured instruments (Figure 2-4). The USB address can be read from the
front panel as follows.
NOTE
The first time the 53220A/53230A is connected to the PC via the USB cable, a
“hardware wizard” utility within the PC may start and prompt you for installation
software for the product. There is no installation software for the USB interface
other than the libraries on the Agilent Automation-Ready CD that ships with the
53220A/53230A. Continue through the “wizard” application without searching for
software and using the default selections.
