Step-1 : Download Instrument Drivers
If your system contains an Agilent E1406 Command Module and
register-based instruments, it may be necessary to download instrument
drivers into the Command module. The easiest way to download drivers is
to use Agilent VIC or the driver download utility that is included with
Agilent VIC.
Instrument drivers enable Agilent Technologies register-based modules to
be programmed using SCPI commands. Several instrument drivers are
factory installed (Table 4-1). Drivers which are not factory installed ship
with the register-based instrument. If you have an instrument that is not
listed in the table, then you will need to download the driver.
If you do not have Agilent VIC or the download utility, instructions for
downloading the drivers are contained in the "Downloading Device Drivers
Installation Note" (p/n E1401-90021).
The installation and configuration procedures discussed in this manual
apply to the factory-installed drivers. If a driver is not installed, the resource
manager will report the following message at the end of the power-on
sequence:
