Operating System-Instrument Compatibility
The Agilent 82350A/B GPIB interface PCI card and the Agilent 82357A/B
USB to GPIB interface are supported on Windows 7.
The Agilent 82350 is a PCI GPIB interface card; no additional settings on
the interface card such as changing the I/O base address are required.
The Agilent 82357A/B USB to GPIB interface is connected to and powered
by one of your PC’s USB connectors.
Installing an GPIB Interface
Since Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) interface boards can be
installed in several different computers, the following instructions are
general. If you have difficulties during the installation, consult your
computer manual or dealer.
1 Turn off and unplug your computer, then remove the computer’s
cover(s).
2 Select the appropriate empty slot for your GPIB card. The 82350A/B
plugs into any PCI slot.
It is best not to place the GPIB board next to a graphics interface. As
The Agilent 82341C ISA GPIB interface is not supported by Agilent ChemStations, revision
B.04.xx or higher.
The Agilent 82357A/B USB to GPIB interface is connected to one of your PC’s USB
connectors. This does not require opening your PC.
Turn off and unplug your computer and all attached electrical devices before
removing any covers.
