Installing the 82357A

Step 2: Installing Agilent IO Libraries Suite

immediately following Agilent IO Libraries M.01.01, so you should consider revision “14.0” to be a greater version number than ”L” or “M”.

„If the IO icon is not displayed, a version may still be installed. To check this, click Start Programs and look for the Agilent IO Libraries or Agilent IO Libraries Suite program group.

„If this group is displayed, click Agilent IO Libraries IO Control to display the IO icon. Then, click the icon and click About Agilent IO Libraries Control to display the installed version (must be L.01.00 or greater, inclusive of 14.0 or greater).

„If neither the IO icon nor the Agilent IO Libraries program group is displayed, no Agilent IO Libraries are installed and you can use the steps in this chapter and in the Agilent IO Libraries Suite Getting Started Guide to install the libraries.

„If the version of the Agilent IO Libraries is less than L.01.00, you must install the newer version included on your Automation-Ready CD to support the 82357A.

„If your version of the Agilent IO Libraries is at least L.01.00, but less than the version on your Automation-Ready CD, you may want to install the newer version to take advantage of new features and greater ease of use of the more recent Agilent IO Libraries Suite. Note that Agilent IO Libraries Suite 14.0 was the revision immediately following Agilent IO Libraries M.01.01, so you should consider revision “14.0” to be a greater version number than “L” or “M”. Configuration instructions in this manual make use of Agilent IO Libraries Suite 14.0.

Installing Agilent IO Libraries Suite

To install the Agilent IO Libraries Suite software,

1First, disconnect any USB instruments, USB/GPIB converters, and FireWire-VXI interfaces that are connected to your PC.

2Insert the Automation-Ready CD in your CD-ROM drive. Wait a few seconds for the auto-run window to appear.
