4 Connecting Instruments to USB
Connect USB Instruments
Use the steps in this figure to directly connect USB instruments to a
Windows PC. If you have not yet installed I/O software on your PC, go
to Installing Agilent I/O Libraries Suite and install the software
BEFORE you connect USB instruments to your PC. When you have
made the connections for your system, go to Step 3: Run Agilent
Connection Expert.
NOTE
Do not confuse the Agilent 82357 USB/GPIB Interface Converter
with a USBTMC device. Agilent Connection Expert automatically
configures the 82357 as a GPIB interface, not as a USBTMC device,
when it is plugged into the computer.
