E5805A USB/RS232 Interface
Installing the E5805A USB/RS232 Interface Drivers
| The E5805A ships with the Driver and the Automation- Ready | |
| CDs. The Driver CD software must be installed for the product | |
| to operate. Once the Driver software is installed, the E5805A | |
| can be attached to a USB port. Your PC should be able to | |
| connect to it, and the four RS232 ports on the E5805A should | |
| appear as additional Windows® COM ports. These ports can be | |
| used by your PC to connect serial instruments and general | |
| purpose devices to the four port RS- 232 converter. The IO | |
| Libraries CD shipped with the E5805A allows you to use I/O | |
| libraries (for example VISA, VISA COM, and SICL) to do | |
| “instrument style” programming of instruments or devices. It | |
| also provides a suite of tools for connection management and | |
| interactive instrument control. If you are using VISA or other | |
| T&M specialized software to program instruments, or if you are | |
| using application software that does instrument control, you | |
| may want to also install the IO Libraries Suite. | |
| Note: Drivers may not have received “Designed for Windows 2000” | |

| ||
| Found. While the drivers may not be Windows certified, they have been | |
| thoroughly tested. Select “Yes” to continue with driver installation. | |
