2. Connect the Agilent E4370A MCCD to the COM port on the PC

Connect the ac line cord to the LINE connector on the rear of the unit Agilent MCCD. This is a universal ac input that supports any line voltage from 87 Vac to 250 Vac, 50/60 Hz.

Turn on the Agilent MCCD.

If you have not already done so, connect the Agilent E4370A MCCD to the COM port on the PC. Connect the RS-232 cable from Port B on the back of the Agilent E4370A MCCD to the COM port on your computer that was specified using the HyperTerminal program.

Flip the Port B switch (#4) on the back of the Agilent E4370A down (from Normal to Configure).

Normal

Configure	1	2	3	4

Note: Switches 1 through 3 must remain in the up position.

NOTE: The Agilent MCCD configuration program is active any time switch #4 is down. If you do not see the Agilent MCCD Configuration Screens on your PC, press the Enter key.

3. Fill Out the Agilent MCCD Configuration Screens

The following Agilent MCCD Configuration Screens should appear in the HyperTerminal window.
