Step 1: Install Agilent IO Libraries Suite on Your PC
Before you connect your instruments to GPIB, install Agilent IO
Libraries Suite software on your PC. See Installing Agilent IO Libraries
Suite in Chapter 2 for details.
Step 2: Connect Instruments to GPIB Card
This step gives guidelines to connect GPIB instruments to a GPIB
Interface Card (such as an Agilent 82351 PCIe™-GPIB Interface Card)
installed in your PC by using GPIB cables. When you have made the
connections for your system, go to Step 3: Run Agilent Connection
Expert.
Install GPIB Cards in Your PC
Install GPIB interface cards (such as an Agilent 82351) in your PC,
following the manufacturers instructions.
NOTE
If you have not yet installed I/O software on your PC, go to Step 1:
Install Agilent IO Libraries Suite on Your PC and install the software
BEFORE you install GPIB Interface Cards in your PC.
NOTE
If your GPIB card is not an Agilent Technologies card, you may need to
install a driver from the card’s manufacturer.
