			For detailed information about USB interface connections, refer to the Agilent
	NOTE
			Technologies USB/LAN/GPIB Interfaces Connectivity Guide, located on the
			Automation-Ready CD that is shipped with your product.

			The following steps will help you quickly get started connecting your
			USB-enabled instrument to the Universal Serial Bus (USB). The
			following figure illustrates a typical USB interface system.

1If you have not already done so, install the Agilent IO Libraries Suite from the Automation-Ready CD that is shipped with your product.

2Connect your instrument to the USB port on your computer.

3With the Connection Expert utility of the Agilent IO Libraries Suite running, the computer will automatically recognize the instrument. This may take several seconds. When the instrument is recognized, your computer will display the VISA alias, IDN string, and VISA address. This information is located in the USB folder.

4Note that you can also view the instrument’s VISA address from the front panel. Press the Menu key, then use the navigation keys to select System\IO\USB\Identification.

5You can now use Interactive IO within the Connection Expert to communicate with your instrument, or you can program your instrument using the various programming environments.

LAN Interface

	For detailed information about LAN interface connections, refer to the Agilent
NOTE
	Technologies USB/LAN/GPIB Interfaces Connectivity Guide, located on the
	Automation-Ready CD that is shipped with your product.

	The following steps will help you quickly get started connecting and
	configuring your instrument on a local area network. The two types
	of local area networks connections that are discussed in this section
	are site networks and private networks.
