Installing the IO Libraries
Upgrading Existing IO Libraries
9 For the SICL and Agilent VISA Installation (Options 1 and 2) and
the SICL Installation (Option 3) ONLY, the
Question screen for
E8491 support appears on Windows 95 and Windows NT. (This
support is installed by default on Windows 98, Windows Me, and
Windows 2000.) Click
Yes to install Agilent E8491 IEEE-1394 to
VXI support, click
No to not install it.
10 Move through the screens (as applicable to the option selected)
until you get to the
IO Libraries Configuration screen. Then, select
the type of configuration you want performed (refresh, automatic,
manual, or do not configure) and click
Next > to start the
installation.
3. SICL Installation
Installs SICL (but not Agilent VISA) with the default options for your
computer configuration. This option allows development and runtime
capabilities using SICL. The option also allows you to select Agilent
E8491 IEEE-1394 to VXI support. If another vendor’s VISA is installed,
installing this option
will not overwrite the other vendor’s VISA.
4. Compact SICL
Installation
Installs SICL (but not Agilent VISA) with the default options for your
computer configuration. This option allows runtime capabilities ONLY (no
development capabilities) using SICL for Serial (RS-232) and LAN client
interfaces. If another vendor’s VISA is installed, installing this option will
not overwrite the other vendor’s VISA.
5. Agilent
GPIB-VXI
Installation
Use this option if your system includes an Agilent VXI Command Module
(such as an E1406, etc.) and another vendor’s VISA. This option provides
GPIB-VXI support for VXI Command Modules on another vendor’s VISA.
SICL and Agilent VISA are NOT installed.
6. Custom
Installation
Allows you to install individually selected components of the IO Libraries,
including SICL, including SICL, VISA, E8491, I-SCPI, and GPIB-VXI
Support components. I-SCPI is supplied for backward compatibility but is
NOT recommended for new applications.
Option Description
NOTE
The
Refresh Configured Interfaces option will not search for any
unconfigured interfaces. This option will only refresh interfaces that are
already configured.
