Changing LAN Settings and Using Password Protection
The Network Configuration Page icon provides access to the counter’s LAN set-
tings, and enables you to set a password to prevent unauthorized access to the
Web instrument interface. Select Modify Configuration to change and save set-
tings.
Installing the Agilent IO Libraries
The Agilent IO Libraries include the VISA and VISA-COM libraries used for
programming the 53220A/53230A in Microsoft development environments
(Table 2-1). The VISA and VISA-COM libraries allow you to send commands
from the 53220A/53230A SCPI command set to the instrument. The IO librar-
ies also include Agilent Connection Expert described and used later in this
chapter.
The IO Libraries are contained on the Agilent Automation-Ready CD or may be
downloaded from the Electronic Test & Measurement Software page at:
http://www.agilent.com
Before installing the IO libraries, review Table 2-2 to verify that your computer
meets the specifications required for the latest version of the software.
NOTE
The Agilent IO Libraries (VISA and VISA-COM) must be installed prior to installing
any other I/O drivers (e.g. IVI-C, IVI-COM).
NOTE
The Agilent IO Libraries and utilities are often updated to include additional fea-
tures and improve usability. The figures used in this chapter represent the latest
version of the IO Libraries available at the time of printing. While you may have a
different version, the process of configuring and adding instruments to an inter-
face remains basically the same.
