Technical data

If you are using an instrument with an analog signal, you need to
connect it to an SS420x attached to the Agilent Instrument
Controller using the connectors on the rear of the SS420x. For
details on how to connect an instrument to the SS420x, see the
documentation provided with the SS420x.
If you are connecting an instrument to the AIC 5000 through the
optional GPIB interface card, you must use the included GPIB port
extender (Part Number 10834A).
If you are connecting an instrument to the AIC using Ethernet, you
must use the instrument network connector indicated in Figure 2.
Note
Use only the Agilent-supplied network interface
card in the AIC 5000.
Finish Configuring the Instrument Controller
1. From the OL Explorer, go to the Administration tab, choose
Global Administration, and click Agilent Instrument
Controller.
2. In the list of Agilent Instrument Controller units, double
click on the Agilent Instrument Controller name that you
entered earlier.
3. Wait until you see a “Ready” status for the AIC before
proceeding. After the Agilent Instrument Controller has
finished re-initializing and shows a “Ready” status, you will
need to make sure to install all instruments or A/D devices
to be used and then set up the Agilent Instrument Controller
to recognize these devices. (See Select Components section
below.) Click Submit to continue.
Select Components
Before you can use the Agilent Instrument Controller, you must tell
it what instrument components will be in use, so the Agilent
Instrument Controller can communicate with them. The following
steps are used to select the components.
