1 Installing the Keysight 82357B Step 1: Checking Your Shipment Your 82357B USB/GPIB Interface shipment should include the items shown in Figure 1-1. If any item is missing or damaged, keep the shipping materials and contact Keysight Technologies. See “Contacting Keysight” on page 50 later in this guide for addresses and telephone numbers.
Installing the Keysight 82357B 1 Step 2: Installing Keysight IO Libraries Suite NOTE You must have Administrator privileges to install Keysight IO Libraries Suite Connection Expert. This section describes how to install the Keysight IO Libraries Suite on your PC. The Keysight IO Libraries Suite is a collection of libraries and utilities that gives you the ability to use your instruments from instrument control software.
1 Installing the Keysight 82357B 4 After the IO Libraries suite is successfully installed, you will see the IO icon on the Windows taskbar notification area.
Installing the Keysight 82357B 1 Step 3: Connecting the 82357B After the Keysight IO Libraries Suite software has been installed, you can connect the 82357B to any USB port on your PC or you can connect the 82357B via standard USB hubs. NOTE If the Keysight IO Libraries Suite software have not been installed on your PC, STOP. Install the libraries (see Step 2: Installing Keysight IO Libraries Suite).
1 Installing the Keysight 82357B Connecting the 82357B to your PC This section shows steps to connect the 82357B to a USB port on your PC or to your PC via a USB Hub. 1 Connect to a USB Port. Make sure the PC is ON and plug the 82357B USB cable into any available USB port on your PC. Do not connect the 82357B to GPIB instruments at this time. Figure 1-4 Connecting the 82357B to Your PC 2 Observe the LEDs. Observe the LEDs on the 82357B for at least 10 seconds.
Installing the Keysight 82357B 1 Connecting the 82357B to a USB hub This section shows steps to connect the 82357B to a USB port on your PC via a standard USB hub. NOTE Any USB hub used with the 82357B MUST be self-powered (must not be bus-powered or powered from the USB bus). Also, be sure to check the applicable USB hub documentation for hub operating parameters, such as power requirements and maximum length of USB cables. 1 Plug the power adapter into the hub and into an electrical outlet.
1 Installing the Keysight 82357B 4 Observe the LEDs on the 82357B for at least 10 seconds. See Chapter 2, “Using the Keysight 82357B” for a description of the normal LED sequence during an initial installation of the 82357B. a Initially, only the red FAIL LED should be ON. After a few seconds, all three LEDs should be ON. When all three LEDs are ON, this shows that the 82357B has been successfully installed.
Installing the Keysight 82357B 1 Step 4: Connecting GPIB Instruments After the 82357B has been installed, the next step is to connect GPIB instruments to the 82357B. This step includes: – Connecting a Single GPIB instrument OR ... – Connecting Multiple GPIB Instruments CAUTION To avoid damage to the connectors, only finger-tighten the connectors. Connecting a single GPIB instrument Figure 1-6 shows connection from a single GPIB instrument to the GPIB port on an 82357B.
1 Installing the Keysight 82357B Connecting multiple GPIB instruments Figure 1-7 shows a typical way to connect three GPIB instruments to an 82357B. When you have made the connections for your system, go to Step 5: Programming via the 82357B. You may want to record the primary GPIB address of each attached instrument for future programming use. NOTE Although Figure 1-7 shows the connection from 82357B to GPIB Instrument 1, the connection can be to any GPIB instrument in the system.
Installing the Keysight 82357B 1 Step 5: Programming via the 82357B After you have connected your GPIB instrument(s) to the 82357B, the next step is to establish communication between your PC and the instruments using Interactive IO. After communication has been established, you can begin programming the instruments using VISA, VISA COM, or SICL. Establishing instrument communication When the Keysight IO Libraries Suite is installed on your PC, an IO utility called Interactive IO is also installed.
1 Installing the Keysight 82357B Figure 1-8 Keysight Interactive IO 5 When communication has been established to each GPIB instrument, you can begin to program the instruments using VISA, VISA COM, or SICL. See the next section, Programming GPIB instruments.
Installing the Keysight 82357B 1 Programming GPIB instruments This section provides an introduction to programming GPIB instruments via the 82357B USB/GPIB interface using the Keysight VISA, VISA COM, and SICL IO Libraries. You can program in various languages/applications, including Visual Basic, Visual C++, Keysight VEE, and National Instruments LabVIEW. See the applicable user’s guide(s), such as the Visual Basic User’s Guide, for programming guidelines.
1 Installing the Keysight 82357B Introduction to IO interface configuration An IO interface consists of a hardware interface and a software interface. The Connection Expert utility is used to associate a unique software interface ID with a hardware interface. The Keysight IO Libraries Suite uses an Interface ID or Logical Unit (LU) Number to identify an interface.

Keysight 82357B USB/GPIB Interface User’s Guide 2 Using the Keysight 82357B This chapter describes normal operating states and modes for the 82357B and provides the guidelines to use the 82357B, including: – Initial 82357B operating states – Introduction to 82357B operating modes – Single 82357B operation – Multiple 82357B operation – SRQ operation 31
2 Using the Keysight 82357B Initial 82357B Operating States Figure 2-1 shows the sequence of initial operating states when the 82357B is first connected to a USB port on a PC or on a USB hub.
Using the Keysight 82357B 2 Introduction to 82357B operating modes The 82357B has two modes of operation. When only one 82357B is connected to a USB port within a system, we define the feature as the Single Mode Features. When up to four 82357Bs are connected at the same time to USB ports within a system, we define the feature as the Multiple Mode Features.
2 Using the Keysight 82357B Single 82357B operation When an 82357B is first installed, a default VISA Interface ID, SICL Interface ID, Logical Unit (LU) number and GPIB Address are automatically assigned to the serial number associated with this specific 82357B. For example, assume an 82357B with serial number MY12345678.
Using the Keysight 82357B 2 Multiple 82357B operation When two or more 82357Bs are attached to a system at the same time, we define the mode as the multiple mode of operation. In multiple mode of operation, each 82357B is “bound” to its related IO Configuration for that Serial Number. This is a different mode of operation than the single mode of operation in that the configuration is not reused if you replace an 82357B with another 82357B.
2 Using the Keysight 82357B Setting Configuration Parameters This section gives guidelines to change or set various configuration parameters for the 82357B, including: – Changing Configuration Parameters – Changing Modes of Operation – Setting Timeout Floor Value – Setting High-Performance Operation Changing configuration parameters To change the VISA or SICL Interface ID, the LU or GPIB Address, or if you want to check the values of these configuration parameters, highlight the USB/GPIB interface in the
Using the Keysight 82357B Figure 2-2 2 Keysight 82357B (High Speed) Interface - USB/GPIB Changing modes of operation If your system has multiple 82357Bs configured (multiple mode operation), the only way to change from multiple mode of operation to single mode operation is to perform the following: 1 Unplug all 82357Bs from the system. 2 Run Connection Expert (click the IO icon, then click Keysight Connection Expert).
2 Using the Keysight 82357B Setting timeout floor values The 82357B has a default timeout “floor” value that is an internal requirement to ensure reliable USB communication. The 82357B will not allow timeouts less than the floor value. (By default, VISA/SICL timeouts are set to infinite time). To programmatically determine the timeout floor, you can set the timeout to a very small value, such as 1 ms, then query for the actual timeout floor value.
Using the Keysight 82357B 2 Setting 82357B high-performance operation NOTE Changing the T1 delay as described in this section is an ad vanced feature and also requires attention to cable lengths and other system features. Introduction The GPIB transfer rate for 82357B writes using large (>1000 bytes) buffer size is affected by the Data Available (T1) delay time. (The transfer rates are not noticeably affected when the buffer size is <1000 bytes). The default delay time used by the 82357B is 800 ns.
