Note
If you are using a SCSI instrument, it must be
powered ON prior to connecting it to the Agilent
Instrument Controller.
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.
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.
1. From OL, select the Administration tab and then click
Global Administration, followed by Agilent Instrument
Controller.
2. Double-click the name of the Agilent Instrument Controller
where the instruments are connected and then select the
Components tab.
