You can use the IR communication link (IR communication
port, located at the rear panel) and the Agilent GUI Data
Logger software to control your multimeter remotely,
perform data logging operations, and transfer the contents of
your multimeter’s memory to a PC.
Ensure that the Agilent logo on the U1173A IR- USB cable
(purchased separately) connected to the multimeter is facing
up. Firmly push the IR head into the multimeter’s IR
communication port until it snaps into place (see
