NOTE 
For detailed information about USB interface connections, refer to the Keysight 
Technologies USB/LAN/GPIB Interfaces Connectivity Guide, located on the 
Automation-Ready CD-ROM that is shipped with your product. 
The following steps will help you quickly get started connecting your 
USB-enabled instrument to the Universal Serial Bus (USB). The 
following figure illustrates a typical USB interface system. 
1  If you have not already done so, install the Keysight IO Libraries 
Suite from the Automation-Ready CD-ROM that is shipped with 
your product. 
2  Connect your instrument to the USB port on your computer. 
3  With the Connection Expert utility of the Keysight IO Libraries 
Suite running, the computer will automatically recognize the 
instrument. This may take several seconds. When the instrument 
is recognized, your computer will display the VISA alias, IDN 
string, and VISA address. This information is located in the USB 
folder. 
NOTE 
The VISA address is:  USB0::2391::2055::serialnumber::0:INSTR 
where 2391 is the Keysight code, 2055 is the N5700 code, and serialnumber is 
the 10-character serial number located on the label on the side of the unit. 
4  You can now use Interactive IO within the Connection Expert to 
communicate with your instrument, or you can program your 
instrument using the various programming environments.
