Connecting Instruments to USB 4
Agilent Connectivity Guide 77
Both a listener check and an identification query are done automatically,
as you can see on the right side in the USB Instrument pane next to the
green-white check mark symbol.
The instrument’s identification parameters can also be seen, such as the
IDN string, the manufacturer, the model code, the serial number, the
firmware revision as well as pictures of the instrument and PC rear
connection panels.
Assigning a VISA Alias. Connection Expert automatically assigns a
default alias name. You can modify a VISA alias by right-clicking on
the USB instrument in the Instrument IO pane and selecting Add VISA
alias from the drop-down menu. A VISA Alias Properties dialog box
appears.
NOTE
When you apply power, a Found New Hardware wizard may appear
from the Windows operating system. Just step through the wizard
clicking Next. (You don’t need to insert a CD, since you have already
installed the I/O software.) You may see two wizards when you connect
a USB/GPIB interface converter. Don’t worry; step through both. Then
return to this section.
