To Change the HP BenchLink/Arb Icon

If you encounter problems

∙Check the system and interface requirements listed on page 8.

∙If you are using RS-232, be sure you are using the correct cable. Interface cables are described in detail in the HP 33120A User’s Guide.

∙Check the error messages contained in Chapter 6.

∙If your PC is configured to use extended memory management (such as EMM386.EXE) and you are using a Hewlett-Packard HP-IB Interface card, you must ensure that the memory management does not conflict with the interface card. The installation section of your HP-IB interface card user’s manual describes configurations to avoid this problem.

∙If you are using an IEEE-488 Interface card, ensure you have correctly installed the interface software before running

HP BenchLink/Arb. Either an HPIB.DLL or GPIB.DLL file must be located in your HP BenchLink/Arb directory, the Windows directory, or a directory included in the PATH command in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. For specific details, refer to your IEEE-488 Interface card installation guide.
