Software Status Bulletin
Before proceeding further, you must read the Software Status
Bulletin document supplied with the software and the Agilent Cary
WinUV Release Notes.pdf located in the install directory. These
documents contain the latest release information and important
notes.
GPIB communications
Either a GPIB communications card or a USB-GPIB-HS converter must
be installed in your computer to interface the computer and Cary
spectrophotometer. See Page 19 for information on installing the PCI-
GPIB communications card or for connecting the USB-GPIB-HS
converter.
CAUTION
The components on the communications card and computer are highly static-
sensitive. To avoid damaging these components, you must drain any static
charges from your body before installing the board, and prevent the generation of
any new static charges during the installation. This can be done by wearing an
ESD (electrostatic discharge) wrist strap attached to a grounding point. You can
obtain a disposable ESD strap from Agilent; otherwise you can obtain one from
your local electronics supplier.
USB-GPIB-HS converter

1 Turn off the computer.
2 Connect one end of the converter to the instrument and the other
