Installation

Checking Operation of the Multiple Channel Controller

You can use other com ports, such as com2. However, you have to edit a ﬁle called “VXIDLD.CFG” so the software knows you are using a different port. This conﬁguration ﬁle can be edited with any ASCII text editor, such as notepad. Save the changed ﬁle back to the supplied disk.

Agilent recommends that you make two backups of the driver disk. Make one copy to a ﬂoppy disk, and one copy to the personal computer used with the system.

Procedure

This procedure may not work on later versions of Microsoft® 1 Windows® such as Windows NT® and Windows 2000®.

1.Disconnect any GPIB cables from the mainframe. If it is easier, you can disconnect the GPIB from the back of the system controller computer.

2.Turn the VXI mainframe ON.

3.On your PC, open a DOS command prompt window.

4.Insert the supplied driver disk into drive A. (Do not write-protect the downloadable driver disk. The driver will not load if the write-protect window is open. Make sure the tab is snapped fully into the closed portion.)

5.In the DOS command prompt window, change to drive A.

6.In the DOS command prompt window, type VXIDLD and press [Enter].

7.The mainframe download procedure takes approximately six or seven minutes, and the mainframe will reboot.

There are several error messages that can be ignored. These are described in the README.TXT ﬁle on the driver disk. Speciﬁcally, refer to the description of the VXIDLD.CFG ﬁle.

8.Reconnect all the GPIB cables.

9.When ﬁnished, the following should be displayed:
