Minimum PC Requirements
Some N4010A TestSet methods of operation require a higher preformance PC than
others. Viewing Help and controlling the Test Set using the SCPI command set
requires only moderate performance, while using the WLAN or Bluetooth EDR
DLLs requires more.
Refer to the specific requirements of the application if you are using additional
measurement software such as the Agilent 89607 VSA.

minimum to view Help files and remote interface operation
using the SCPI commands set, 1.6 GHz or better recommended for DLL
operation.

• 1024 x 768 pixel display.
• CD-ROM Drive or Internet connection for application download.

In addition, to be able to run the N4010A CD-ROM and connect using the remote
interfaces, your PC must also have the following software components installed:
• Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1 - This is required for the
operation of the N4010A CD-ROM and some of the content. If the .NET
Framework is not detected on your PC, it can be installed by following the
on-screen instructions after starting the N4010A CD-ROM.
You can explore the CD-ROM to view the Help files (.chm format) without the
.NET Framework installed on your PC.
• Agilent I/O libraries version 14.1 or equivalent - I/O libraries are required for the
remote operation of the N4010A and for the operation of the N4010A Bluetooth
EDR DLL, the N4017A GMA, and the N4010A WLAN Test Suite. If I/O
libraries are not detected on your PC, Agilent IO libraries can be installed by
following the on-screen instructions after starting the N4010A CD-ROM.
