Instrument offline 
Problem 
When I start the Cary WinFLR software, the application reports that 
the instrument is ‘Offline’. 
Solutions 
  Make sure the computer has been restarted after the Cary Eclipse 
WinFLR software is installed. 
  Check the connection of the main instrument cable (USB-GPIB-
HS) attaching the computer to the instrument. 
  Ensure the instrument has completed its initialization tests 
before you start the Cary Eclipse WinFLR software.  
  Contact your local Agilent office. 
Connect button instead of Start 
Problem 
When I start the Cary Eclipse WinFLR application, I want to use the 
‘Start’ button but it has changed to a ‘Connect’ button — why? 
Solution 
Check to see if you have any other Cary applications running. If they 
are not collecting data, click the ‘Connect’ button to get control of the 
instrument.
