3. SICL Installation
(see Step 11)
Installs SICL (but not Agilent VISA) with the default options for your
computer configuration. This option allows development and runtime
capabilities using SICL and allows you to select Agilent E8491 IEEE-1394
to VXI support. If another vendor’s VISA is installed, installing this option
will not overwrite the other vendor’s VISA.
4. Compact SICL
Installation
(see Step 11)
Installs SICL (but not Agilent VISA) with default options for your PC
configuration. This option allows runtime capabilities ONLY (no
development capabilities) using SICL for Serial (RS-232) and LAN client
interfaces. If another vendor’s VISA is installed, installing this option
will not overwrite another vendor’s VISA.
5. Agilent GPIB-VXI
Installation
(see Step 11)
Use this option if your system includes an Agilent VXI Command Module
(such as an E1406, etc.) and another vendor’s VISA. This option provides
GPIB-VXI support for VXI Command Modules on another vendor’s VISA.
SICL and Agilent VISA are
not installed.
6. Select Individual
Components
(see Step 12)
Allows you to install individually selected components of the IO
Libraries, including SICL, VISA, E8491, I-SCPI, and GPIB-VXI Support
components. I-SCPI is supplied for backward compatibility but is
not
recommended for new applications.
