Setting Up for Agilent AA-DUO Operation
NOTE
You must install the GPIB Communications Card or Converter first before
performing this procedure.
If you are running an Agilent AA-DUO system, you need to
reconfigure one of the instruments so they have different IEEE
addresses.
To reconfigure an AA for use in an AA-Duo system:
1 Ensure the SpectrAA Base and PRO or CFR software is installed.
2 With the computer turned off, connect the two Agilent AA
instruments via an IEEE-488 GPIB cable.
3 Connect one of the Agilent AA systems via an IEEE-488 GPIB
cable to the GPIB card in the computer or by connecting the USB-
GPIB-HS converter to the computer.
4 Reboot the computer if you haven’t done so already.
5 Ensure that both instruments are switched off.
