Agilent Technologies manual Installing the L4400 Instrument Drivers

Software Installation and Configuration 2

Close all applications on your computer. Insert the Agilent Automation-Ready CD into the CD-ROM drive. Follow the instructions as prompted during the installation. Accept all default directories specified.

If the IO libraries installation does not start automatically, select Start > Run from the Windows Start menu and type <drive>:\autorun\auto.exe where <drive> is the designa- tor of the CD-ROM drive.

N O TE	If another vendor’s implementation of VISA (Virtual Instrument Software
	Architecture) is currently installed on your computer, continue installation
	of the Agilent IO Libraries by installing Agilent VISA in side-by-sidemode.
	More information on side-by-sideoperation can be found in the Agilent IO
	Libraries Suite Help (available after installation is complete) under “Using
	Agilent VISA with Another Vendor’s VISA.

N O TE	Installing the Agilent IO Libraries also installs the Interchangeable Virtual
	Instrument (IVI) Shared Components. The IVI Shared Components are
	required before IVI drivers (e.g. IVI-COM, IVI-C) can be installed (see
	“Installing the L4400 Instrument Drivers”).

After the IO libraries have been successfully installed, you will see the Agilent IO Con- trol (IO icon) in the taskbar notification area of your computer screen (Figure 2-1).
