About Desktop EasyEXPERT
The Desktop EasyEXPERT software provides the following additional advantages
to the B1500A, allowing you to minimize the amount of offline tasks performed on
B1500A and increase the working ratio for measurements.
• Allows B1500A to be controlled from an external computer via GPIB while
online.
• Allows test setup to be created on an external computer while offline.
• Allows data analysis to be performed on an external computer while offline.
The Desktop EasyEXPERT can use the 4155B, 4156B, 4155C, or 4156C instead of
the B1500A. Then, there are some differences in the functions and operations
compared with when the B1500A is used. See “Using 4155B/4156B/4155C/4156C”
on page 10-74.

NOTE Desktop EasyEXPERT supports most B1500A/EasyEXPERT functions. However,
some functions are not supported on an external computer due to differences in
hardware and so on.
