Remote Interface
The instrument has a USB interface in the rear panel for remote communication with
EasyWave software. From the utility menu, press Interface to select the interface. Press
USB Setup and select USBTMC, then select Done.
Note: USBRAW is reserved for factory use only.
A type A to type B USB cable is required for PC connectivity.
To connect with EasyWave software, you must install the USB driver. For Windows® 7 users,
this may install automatically. For other users, visit www.bkprecision.com to download the
driver.
Note: Users who have LabVIEW™ or NI-VISA installed will automatically have this
driver in their system. In this case, driver download is not required.
GPIB Interface
The generator can be remotely controlled via GPIB using the optional AK40G USB-to-GPIB
adapter.
Note: Be sure all devices are powered off before connecting the adapter to the USB port
of the generator and/or the GPIB port on your computer.
Connecting AK40G
1. Connect the USB end of the AK40G to the front USB host port of the instrument.
Since this port is a shared port, an external USB flash drive cannot be used during
GPIB operation.
2. Connect the GPIB end of the AK40G to the computer via a GPIB cable.
