Connecting Over USB
1 After installing the required I/O software on your computer, connect a
standard USB cable between your computer and the 34980A.
2 Make sure power is applied to your computer and verify that the operating
system is fully booted. Then apply power to the 34980A.
3 The Found New Hardware Wizard will automatically start and guide you
through configuring the 34980A as a USB device. To install the software
automatically, accept all defaults.
4 Use the Connection Expert utility of the Keysight IO Libraries Suite to verify
that the 34980A is displayed under the USB interface. Note that if you have
installed any other I/O software, refer to documentation included with that
software.
5 Now you can use various programming environments to control the 34980A.
For an overview on programming instruments via USB, refer to the
Connectivity Guide.
Before connecting the USB cable (not provided), make sure that I/O software is
installed on your computer. See page 46 for more information on installing the
Keysight IO Libraries software.
