IEEE 488 Configuration Utility
The IEEE 488 configuration utility is located in Windows Control Panel. The configuration utility is
primarily used to setup the Interfaces and External Devices. As seen in the following figure, it is similar to
the Device Manager.
Note: By default, the configuration utility always shows four interfaces (IEEE0, IEEE 1, IEEE 2,
& IEEE 3), even when only one interface is actually installed.
Interfaces
The minimum requirement for configuring your system is to make certain the IEEE 488.2 interface is
properly selected and configured.
The Interface Hardware box lists all the
available interfaces. In the figure, IEEE0
is assigned to a Personal488/PCI
interface.
