2 Installing Agilent I/O Libraries Suite
Installing the IO Libraries Suite Software
This section describes how to install Agilent IO Libraries Suite on your
PC. The process is as follows:
1 Verify that your PC meets the minimum system requirements. (See
“System Requirements for Agilent IO Libraries Suite 15.5” on
page 24.)
2 If you are upgrading to IO Libraries Suite from a previous version of
IO Libraries, you must remove the instruments and interfaces listed
below before you upgrade your software. This step is necessary in
order for these devices to obtain the correct drivers to work with
Agilent IO Libraries Suite.
a Disconnect any USB instruments from your PC.
b Disconnect any Agilent 82357 USB/GPIB interface converters
from your PC.
c Disconnect any Agilent E8491 IEEE 1394 PC Link to VXI
interfaces from your PC.
3 Close all other applications on your PC.
NOTE
You must have Administrator privileges to install Agilent IO Libraries Suite
Connection Expert.
NOTE
If you install a PCI card in your computer at the same time you install
Agilent IO Libraries Suite 15, a possible conflict can occur. The “New
Hardware Found” dialog for the PCI card must be closed before
installing IO Libraries. Otherwise the IO Libraries installation will stop
until PCI card installation is complete.
NOTE
If you have NI software installed (such as NI MAX, etc.), then all NI
services must be stopped prior to installing IO Libraries.
