Connecting instruments to a computer
Make sure you install the NI-VISA Runtime before you connect instruments to a computer.
Connect the instrument to the computer before starting the KI-Tool software.
Using USB
A USB cable is shipped with the instrument. If the original cable is not available, you will need a USB
cable with a USB Type B connector on one end and a USB type A connector on the other end for
each instrument you plan to connect to the computer at the same time using the USB interface.
1. Connect the Type A end of the cable to the host computer.
2. Connect the Type B end of the cable to the instrument.
3. Turn power to the instrument on.
4. When the host computer detects the new USB connection, the Found New Hardware Wizard will
start.
5. On the "Can Windows connect to Windows Update to search for software?" dialog box, click No,
and then click Next.
6. On the "USB Test and Measurement device" dialog box, click Next, and then click Finish.
Using GPIB
GPIB is an optional interface and may not be installed on the instrument. If the GPIB interface is
available on your instrument, refer to the Reference manual that came with your instrument for
information about using GPIB.
