Requirements for External Controller and
User PC
NOTE The external controller and the LAN-connected user PC have almost the
same requirements.
The external controller has to meet the following requirements:
• Pentium-class CPU with at least 200 MHz
• 128 MB RAM
• 200 MB of free disk space
•CD-ROM drive
• Agilent E8491B IEEE 1394 PC link to VXI card installed (controller
only)
• Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 2000 (or higher) operating system
For Windows NT 4.0, Service Pack 5 or higher is recommended. For
Windows 2000, Service Pack 2 or higher is recommended.
• When using Windows NT, a TCP/IP network must be set up, even if the
controller is not connected to the LAN. TCP/IP support is required by
the Agilent 81250 firmware server.
If the controller is not connected to the LAN, you can use the “MS
Loopback” adapter and specify a “private LAN” IP address, such as
192.168.0.1 (no DNS or WINS).
If the controller shall be connected to the LAN, contact your network
administrator for the correct settings.
• Agilent E4875A User Software on CD-ROM
