20 82357B User’s Guide
2 Using the Agilent 82357B
Single 82357B operation
When an 82357B is first installed, a default VISA Interface
ID, SICL Interface ID, Logical Unit (LU) number and GPIB
Address are automatically assigned to the serial number
associated with this specific 82357B.
For example, assume an 82357B with serial number
MY12345678. When this 82357B is first installed, typical
values as shown are automatically assigned to this serial
number:
• VISA Interface ID: GPIB0
• SICL Interface ID: gpib0
• Logical Unit: 7
• GPIB Address: 21
The first time an 82357B is attached to a system (assuming
the Agilent IO Libraries Suite and 82357B driver are
installed), the software recognizes that an 82357B is
attached. If the Connection Expert is not running, the
software displays an Agilent 82357B USB/GPIB Interface Detected
dialog box that allows you to accept the current settings. If
the Connection Expert is running, it automatically refreshes,
displaying the 82357B as a USB/GPIB interface in its tree
view. You can then change the properties of the interface via
the Connection Expert.
The VISA and SICL Interface IDs, Logical Unit Number, and
GPIB Address may be viewed at any time in the property
pane of the Connection Expert. (To view this window, click
the IO icon, then select Agilent Connection Expert.)
NOTE
You can change the parameter values of the 82357B as required. See
“Changing configuration parameters” on page 23 for details.
