U2000 Series Operating and Service Guide

Verifying Your Connected Power Sensor

1

To verify your connected power sensor, go to 

Start > All Programs > Agilent 

IO Libraries Suite > Agilent Connection Expert

 to launch Agilent Connection 

Expert.

2

Your connected power sensor will be detected and shown on the 

Instrument I/O on this PC

 panel as shown in the following figure.

Figure 1-9

Agilent Connection Expert with a list of instrument I/O on the PC

3

Select the U2000 USB sensor on the list of USB device connected to the 
PC and right- click. A context menu will appear and select 

Send Command 

To This Instrument

 and the Agilent Interactive IO dialog box will appear as 

shown below.
