If you are not installing new hardware (interface cards,
converters, or instruments), skip this section and proceed
directly to step 3.

Install hardware: If you received the Agilent IO
Libraries Suite when you purchased an instrument or
an interface product (such as an Agilent GPIB card or
USB/GPIB interface converter), it is time to install the
hardware now. Consult the documentation for your
hardware product for installation instructions and
specific hardware configuration (for example, setting
Ethernet or GPIB addresses). General instructions for
hardware installation appear in the Agilent
Connectivity Guide, which you can display (in PDF
format) by clicking the IO Control and choosing
Documentation > Connectivity Guide. The Documentation
menu also includes manuals for Agilent interface
hardware products that you have installed.
Configure hardware; turn on the PC if necessary: If
you turned your PC off to install new hardware, turn it
back on when the installation is complete, and wait for
your PC to start up. Perform any necessary hardware
configuration.
NOTE
When you connect a USB device, Windows will display a Found New
Hardware Wizard. If your USB device is an Agilent USBTMC instrument or
an Agilent USB/GPIB Interface Converter, you do not need to insert a CD
when prompted by the wizard, because all the drivers you need have
already been installed with the IO Libraries Suite. Simply click Next until
the wizard completes. If a second Found New Hardware Wizard appears,
continue to click Next until that wizard completes as well. These wizards
place the installed USB drivers in the appropriate locations for Windows to
recognize your device.
