This chapter explains the steps required to install M8195A software package. 
2.1  Pre-Requisites 
 
The following are the pre-requisites for installing Keysight M8195A software:  
  The supported operating systems are: 
  Windows 8.1  (32 bit or 64 bit) 
  Windows 8     (32 bit or 64 bit) 
  Windows 7       (32 bit or 64 bit) 
 
  Ensure that you have Keysight IO Libraries Suite Version 16.3 or higher 
installed on your system. The Keysight IO Libraries Suite can be found on 
the CD that is part of shipment content or at 
http://www.keysight.com/find/iosuite. 
 
 
Even if a non-Keysight I/O library is already installed on your PC, it is still necessary 
to install the Keysight I/O library. The Keysight I/O library will install as “secondary” 
I/O library in this case. This use case is fully supported. There only needs to be some 
additional considerations when doing SCPI remote programming. For more 
information on SCPI remote programming, refer to M8195A User's Guide.
