to confirm the installation. If this is not the first installation,
go to the Advanced tab and click Restart. The system will
display the “Installing” message. The AIC will “beep” when

Configure the SS420x
If you will be using an SS420x attached to the Agilent Instrument
Controller (required for analog acquisition), it will need to be
configured using the OL software, as described below. If you are not
using an SS420x, you may skip this section.
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 SS420x is connected and then select the
Hardware tab.
3. Locate SS420x under Boards and then click Configure.
4. From the SS420x configuration dialog, select the Serial port
to which the SS420x is connected and then check the
Installed box to enable the configuration of the interface.
Then proceed to select the appropriate settings for the
interface.
Baud Rate
The communication baud rate is displayed. To change
the baud rate, click the Set Baud Rate button.
Base Frequency
Select the base frequency. The default setting for the
SS420x is 10 Hz, which gives optimal signal to noise, and
can be used in countries using either 50Hz or 60Hz. The
base frequencies available will depend on the baud rate
chosen. If the baud rate is less than 38400bps, the base
frequencies 100 and 120 will not be available. If you
choose a higher base frequency, you must select a base
frequency that can be evenly divided into your line
frequency (i.e. 30 for 60Hz countries and 25 for 50Hz
