USB Connections
All of the USB ports are compatible with the USB 2.0 and 1.1 specification. The two
USB ports on the front panel (see graphic below) and four of the USB ports on the rear
panel are USB Series “A” ports. These are ports to which you can connect USB mass
storage devices and printers. The test set USB Host support includes the standard
Microsoft Windows USB class drivers for human interface, mass storage, printing,
scanning, and imaging devices. A complete up-to-date list of the Windows USB class
driver support is available on the Microsoft website.

The square USB port (see graphic below) on the rear panel is a USB Series “B” port and
is used for controlling the test set over USB. The test set USB device driver included in
the test set software supports the test and measurement industry standard USBTMC-
USB488 device class.
In addition, the Agilent IO Libraries CD that was included with your test set contains
USB Host drivers that allow control of other test sets connected to the USB bus.
Agilent Technologies does not support or warrant correct test set operation if additional
USB drivers from third parties are installed in the test set. It is possible that additional
drivers could break the normal USB operation. If USB operation is broken, recovery
would require reinstalling the test set application using the hard drive recovery process.
