Before connecting the USB cable, make sure that I/O software is installed on
your computer. See “Connecting the 11713D/E to your Computer” on page 92
for more information on installing the Keysight IO Libraries software.
If you have installed the Keysight I/O Libraries Software, this also installs the
required low-level software drivers. Therefore you do not need to insert the CD
when the Found New Hardware Wizard instructs you to do so.
If you have installed any other I/O interface software, refer to the
documentation included in that software.
