Installing the E5810

Installing and Configuring the Agilent IO Libraries Suite

Find Now, select your E5810 from the list, and click OK to return to the Remote GPIB interface dialog box.

6In the Remote GPIB interface dialog box, click Test connection to check connectivity to your E5810. If the test is successful, you will see the message The interface was successfully opened.

If you leave the check box labeled Auto-discover instruments connected to this interface checked, then when you click OK, Connection Expert will search for GPIB instruments connected to your E5810 and will send a *IDN? (identification) query to each instrument found. You will then see the new remote GPIB interface and any attached GPIB instruments in the Connection Expert’s explorer view.

Configuring a Remote Serial Interface

This section shows the steps to configure a remote serial interface, which is a logical interface on the client PC that supports communication with RS-232 instruments on your E5810. If you do not have an RS-232 instrument connected to your E5810, skip this section and go to the next step, “Verifying Communication From Your PC” on page 72.
