Getting Started
To Launch EasyEXPERT
To Launch EasyEXPERT
1. Click the Start EasyEXPERT button, and wait until the EasyEXPERT main
screen or workspace selection screen is displayed.
NOTE Workspace is the space created in Agilent B1500A’s internal hard disk drive, and is
used to store the test setup, test result data, and so on. The workspace can be created
and allocated for each user.
2. If this is the first time to start the EasyEXPERT, or if no workspace exists, a
workspace will be created automatically.
Skip to “To Use Application Test Mode” on page 1-10 or “To Use Classic Test
Mode” on page 1-12.
3. If only one workspace exists, the B1500A displays the screen as shown in Figure
1-1.
Skip to “If Only One Workspace Exists” on page 1-7.
4. If two or more workspaces exist, the B1500A displays the screen as shown in
Figure 1-3.
Skip to “To Select Workspace” on page 1-9.
