•Disconnect any USB instruments or connectivity interface from your PC.

1Close all other applications on your PC, insert the Agilent Automation-Ready CD into your CD-ROM drive, and follow the instructions on your screen.

2If the IO Libraries Suite installation does not start automatically, go to Start > Run (on the Windows Start menu) and type <drive>:\autorun\auto.exe where

<drive> is your CD-ROM drive location.

3If you obtain the IO Libraries Suite from the web, save the self-extracting zip file (*.exe) to any location on your hard disk.

4Double-click the installation file to launch the installation.

5Follow the instructions on your screen to proceed with the installation.

6After the installation has completed, you will see the IO Control icon on the Windows taskbar notification area as shown below.

For detailed installation instructions, refer to the Agilent IO Libraries Suite Getting Started Guide at http://www.agilent.com/find/iolib.
