Getting Started ParBERT Overview
26 Agilent 81250 ParBERT Installation Guide, February 2002
CAUTION If you are setting up a ParBERT system on an external PC, and you want
to connect additional test equipment to this PC using a GPIB interface, it
is highly recommended that you use an Agilent GPIB card for this
purpose.
The reason is that there could be conflicts between the Agilent I/O
libraries and those from other manufacturers. It is not recommended to
install more than one I/O library on one system.
Operating ParBERT via the LAN
ParBERT can be configured for LAN operation. In such a configuration,
the ParBERT firmware server and I/O libraries run on the embedded or
external controller, and the user software runs on another PC.
Figure 12 shows the configuration with an embedded controller.
