Agilent connectivity software
Agilent connectivity software helps you establish a connection in less
than 15 minutes.
Agilent IO Libraries Suite eliminates the hours of effort it takes to
connect and configure PC-controlled test systems. This connectivity
software ships with each Agilent instrument control hardware and over
150 Agilent test and measurement instruments. Connecting your instru-
ments to a PC is as easy as connecting a PC to a printer — even if you
use multiple instruments from different vendors.
Now the enhanced version 16.3 or higher is with expanded compatibility
with other vendors’ IO software. You can now use any programming
API with any standard T&M software development environment. Simply
install Agilent’s IO libraries Suite on your PC, then cable the interfaces
and instruments to your PC. The IO Libraries Connection Expert utility
will find the interfaces and instruments connected to your computer and
configure them properly.

Adapter
The 10834A GPIB-to-GPIB adapter can
help when limited rear-panel space and
other design considerations make cabling
difficult. The 10834A adapter extends
the first cable to 2.3 cm away from the
rear panel to provide clearance for other
connectors, switches, and cables.
