To install the Windows VXIplug&play drivers

To install the Windows VXIplug&play drivers

This procedure assumes that you have already installed a VISA (Virtual Instrument Software Architecture) library.

If you attempt to install the Windows VXIplug&play drivers without having installed a VISA library you will receive a fatal error.

1.Insert the CD labeled: “Agilent E1439 VXI 70MHz IFADC with filters and memory”

2.Run the program: drive:\windows\setup.exe

Where drive represents the drive containing the setup CD.

3.The setup program asks you to confirm or change the directory path. The default directory path is recommended.

4.A dialog box asks if you want to install startup shortcuts

This creates a program group called “AGE1439” within the Vxipnp directory that includes:

•A shortcut to run the Agilent E1439 Soft Front Panel

•A shortcut for the Agilent E1439 web-based online help file

•A shortcut for the PDF version of the Agilent E1439 User’s Guide

•A shortcut for the AGDSP web-based online help file

•Several shortcuts for example programs

•A shortcut for a readme file

5.A readme file may be displayed. If so, be sure to read it and follow the instructions.

Updating firmware

Future updates will be distributed on the Web. To check your current revision run the Info Utility or check Help/About in the Soft Front Panel program.

To check for new revisions access the Agilent Technologies Web page

http://www.agilent.com/ and search for "E1439".

Install the updated firmware using the firmware installation program—FirmwareInstall. This program’s default location is drive:\vxipnp\win[95NT]\age1439\firmware. Start the program, then use the "Select File" button to locate the firmware image you want to install. Enter the VXI address of the instrument to be updated and click the "Update" button. The installation will take one or two minutes. This program requires VISA to be installed on the host computer.
