Using the Agilent 82357B 2
82357B User’s Guide 21
If you disconnect this 82357B and plug in another 82357B
(with a different serial number), or if you re- plug the same
82357B, the new 82357B will assume the same VISA
Interface ID, SICL Interface ID, LU number, and GPIB
Address as the previous 82357B.
Multiple 82357B operation
When two or more 82357Bs are attached to a system at the
same time, we define the mode as the multiple mode of
operation. In multiple mode of operation, each 82357B is
“bound” to its related IO Configuration for that Serial
Number. This is a different mode of operation than the
single mode of operation in that the configuration is not
reused if you replace an 82357B with another 82357B.
As with single mode operation, 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 in 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.)
If you plug in another 82357B (with a different Serial
Number), the new 82357B will automatically be assigned a
unique VISA Interface ID, SICL Interface ID, LU, and GPIB
Address.
