Using the Asset Manager
Use the Asset Manager to add assets to your E5505A system. The process is
essentially the same for any asset, including reference sources. In fact, the
procedure in this section uses an Agilent 8663 source as an example. (The
procedure applies to all Agilent sources, including the 8257x series.)
Adding an asset involves two steps once the hardware connections have been
made:
• Configuring the asset
• Verifying the server hardware connections.
Configuring an asset
This procedure demonstrates how to add an asset to the E5505A system.
1 Using Figure 19 as a guide, navigate to Asset Manager. For this example we
invoke the Asset Manager Wizard from the E5500 main screen. This is the
most common way to add assets.
WARNING
Be sure to power off the system before making all hardware connections other than GPIB.
Connecting assets with the power applied can result in personal injury and damage to the
hardware. (For more information on connecting assets, see Chapter 18, “System
Interconnections)
