Setting 82357A Custom Configuration

This section shows steps to configure an 82357A for custom configuration settings using the Connection Expert utility. Typically, you will need to set custom configuration only for specialized applications, such as changing VISA and/or SICL interface IDs or for use in side-by-side operation with National Instruments VISA.

1Check LED Status. Before setting 82357A configuration, verify that all three LEDs on the 82357A are still ON to indicate the 82357A has been successfully installed, but has not yet been configured.

After an 82357A is connected to a USB port and the Windows Plug and Play Manager installation sequence completes, an Agilent 82357A USB/GPIB Interface Detected dialog box may appear. This dialog box will not appear if the Connection Expert utility is already running.

3If this dialog box does not appear, and Connection Expert is not running, STOP. See Chapter 3 -Troubleshooting the 82357A before proceeding.
