10 Instrumentation Laboratory Exercise
1.6 Agilent VEE Student/Pro
Agilent VEE is a program which enables you to take measurements,
perform calculations, and display and save data into files. In
advanced applications the computer can be programmed to control
devices or processes based on the measured data.
To start, ensure that the U2351A USB multifunction data acquisition
(DAQ) device is powered on, and connected to the computer through
a USB cable.
Verifying and launching your module connection
The Agilent Connection Expert is one of the utilities of the IO
Libraries. The Connection Expert configures the connected
instruments and enables communication. It is able to automatically
detect the U2351A devices plugged into the PC.
1 Go to Start > All Programs > Agilent IO Libraries Suite > Agilent Connection
Expert to launch the Connection Expert.
2 The detected U2351A will be visible on the Instrument I/O on this PC
explorer pane. Right- click on the U2351A instrument in the
explorer pane.
3 A context menu will appear. Select Send Commands To This Instrument.
4 The Agilent Interactive IO dialog box will appear. Click Send & Read
to send the *IDN? default command. The instrument’s response
should appear in the Instrument Session History panel.
5 If the Connection Expert can successfully communicate with the
U2351A, this indicates that the instrument is installed correctly.
6 Double-click the Agilent VEE software icon on your desktop or go
to Start > All Programs > Agilent VEE Pro 8.5 > VEE Pro 8.5 to launch the
software.
NOTE
Ensure that you do not remove the USB and power connection until the
firmware download has completed.
