4 Connecting Instruments to USB
1
Check Agilent IO Libraries Version. If a version of the Agilent IO
Libraries or IO Libraries Suite has been installed, a blue icon ( )
is normally displayed on the Windows notification area (on the lower
right side of the screen).
• If the IO icon is displayed, click the icon and click
About Agilent
IO Control
to display the version. Version 15 or greater must be
installed. (The next version of the IO Libraries after “M”
discontinued this alphabetic naming convention, and uses IO
Libraries Suite 14.0 to designate the version immediately
following M.01.01.)
• If the IO icon is not displayed, a version may still be installed. To
check this, click
Start > Programs and look for the Agilent IO
Libraries or the Agilent IO Libraries Suite
program group.
• If this group is displayed, click
Agilent IO Libraries > Utilities > IO
Control or Agilent IO Libraries Suite > Utilities > IO Control
to
display the IO icon. Then, click the icon and click
About Agilent
IO Control
to display the installed version (must be M.01.00 or
greater).
• If neither the IO icon nor the Agilent IO Libraries Suite program
group is displayed, no Agilent IO Libraries are installed. In this
case, or if the installed version is not M.01.00 or greater, you must
install the newer version (see step 2 following).

Install Agilent IO Libraries Suite (as Required). If Agilent IO Libraries
v15 or later is not installed on your PC, use this step. Otherwise, go
to “Verify USB Driver Installation” on page 84.
• Remove the USB cable from the USB port on the PC.
• Uninstall the IO Libraries by using Add/Remove Programs in
the Control Panel.
• Install IO Libraries Suite from the Automation-Ready CD with
Agilent IO Libraries Suite. (Go to Installing Agilent I/O Libraries
Suite for more information.)
• Connect the USB cable to the PC.
• If this does not correct the problem, go to Verify USB Driver
Installation.
