Configure Instruments
Before you can use the Agilent Instrument Controller to acquire
data, each instrument must be configured using the Agilent OL
software. See the Agilent OL help for instructions on how to
configure instruments.
4 Reset the AIC 5000 to Factory Defaults
The AIC 5000 is shipped with a USB memory stick that is used to
reset the AIC settings to the factory defaults.
To load the factory default on the USB memory stick,
1. Connect the blank memory stick to an available USB port on
a PC with a USB port and a CD ROM drive.
2. Browse the Agilent OL software CD for the \Addon\AIC
Reset to Factory Adapter\SSIConfig folder, and copy this
folder to the root of the memory stick.
3. Verify the presence of the file {37F06863-452F-4002-AB6C-
8D48B175FA82} (no file extension) in the \SSIConfig folder
of the memory stick. DO NOT test the memory stick on a
configured AIC, as this will cause a reset to factory settings.
To reset an AIC to factory defaults,
1. Turn on AIC. The AIC produces two short beeps when
initialization is complete.
2. AFTER power up is completed, plug the Reset to Factory
adapter into any USB port on the AIC.
3. The reset to factory will start.
4. The AIC will start beeping.
5. Remove the Reset to Factory adapter. You may remove it as
soon as the beeping starts. The adapter must be removed
before the AIC restarts itself.
6. The AIC will restart automatically and then proceed with the
rest of the reset to factory.
