1. The Agilent E4991A RF Impedance/Material Analyzer and the accessories required to
measure a DUT
2. GPIB system controller
3. Peripheral equipment depending on the user’s purpose
4. GPIB cable (10833A/B/C/D) to connect the computer to the E4991A and peripheral
equipment
It is not necessary to select the system-controller mode or the
addressable-only mode of the GPIB system. The E4991A is
automatically set to appropriate mode by the controller when the
GPIB program is run.

b. Turn the E4991A’s main power off and then back on again.
To use an external computer as the system controller, a Personal
Computer (IBM compatible) or work station with a GPIB
interface is required. Also, software such as Agilent VEE,
Microsoft Visual Basic, or HTBasic is required to control the
E4991A through GPIB.
