Firmware Upgrade Kits E4400-60230 and E4400-60597 for PSG/ESG Signal Generators
Connect an RS-232, GPIB, or LAN Interface to a PC
To connect the signal generator to a PC using an RS-232 interface (Only for use with Agilent E44xxB ESG Signal Generators)
1.Connect Agilent E44xxB ESG signal generators to the PC as shown in the following diagram. Use a 5-mm nut driver to remove both standoffs (screws) from the female-female adapter.
RS-232 communications are connected to one of the COM ports on the PC using an RS-232 serial cable with a null-modem connected between the COM port and the signal generator’s RS-232 connector. Refer to the “RS-232 Installation Kit (Only for use with Agilent E44xxB ESG Signal Generators)” on page 7 for more information.
NOTE | Ensure that the selected COM port is not used by any other device while |
| PSG/ESG Upgrade Assistant 5.12 is being used. |
