Agilent 81250 ParBERT Installation Guide, May 2004 5-1
5 Putting ParBERT into Operation
Now that you have connected your mainframes to the controller PC,
switch the PC and the mainframe(s) on.
You cannot put ParBERT into operation, if the mainframes are
disconnected or switched off.
A preconfigured controller PC requires only two actions. More actions are
necessary, if you have set up your own PC.
Using a Preconfigured Controller PC
If you have received ParBERT with a preconfigured controller PC:
1 Start the Agilent 81250 Configuration tool. Run the Build Systems
function. Make sure that the mainframes and modules were correctly
identified. For details see
“How to Use the Agilent 81250 Config Tool”
on page 5-7 .
2 Start the ParBERT user software (see “Starting the ParBERT User
Software” on page 5-18 ).
Using a Custom Controller PC
If you have set up your own controller PC:
1 Log on as the system administrator.
2 Configure the IEEE 1394 and GPIB interfaces (see “How to Configure
the IEEE 1394 and GPIB Interfaces” on page 5-2 ).
