1. Connect your instrument to the USB port on your computer.
2. With the Connection Expert utility of the Keysight IO Libraries Suite running, the computer will auto-
matically recognize the instrument. This may take several seconds. When the instrument is recog-
nized, your computer will display the VISA alias, IDN string, and VISA address. This information is
located in the USB folder.
3. You can now use Interactive IO within the Connection Expert to communicate with your instru-
ment, or you can program your instrument using the various programming environments.
LAN Connections - site and private
A site LAN is a local area network in which LAN-enabled instruments and computers are connected to
the network through routers, hubs, and/or switches. They are typically large, centrally-managed
networks with services such as DHCP and DNS servers. The following figure illustrates a typical site
LAN system.
A private LAN is a network in which LAN-enabled instruments and computers are directly connected,
and not connected to a site LAN. They are typically small, with no centrally-managed resources. The
following figure illustrates a typical private LAN system.
