Installation guide

Agilent 81250 ParBERT Installation Guide, February 2002 69
Software Installation and Update
This chapter describes the steps necessary to install the following
ParBERT software components:
• The user software
• The firmware of the modules
NOTE You do not have to update the software if you are installing a self-
enclosed ParBERT system delivered from Agilent with embedded
controller. Such a system comes ready to use, and you can directly
proceed to ”Starting ParBERT for the First Time” on page 75.
But if you ordered a system with the IEEE 1394 PC link to VXI interface,
you have to install the interface software and the ParBERT software on
the PC designated as the ParBERT controller.
Also, no matter, whether you are using an embedded or external
controller—if the controller is connected to the LAN, you can operate
the system via the LAN. In this case, you have to install the ParBERT
software on the user PC you are going to use.
