USB Connections
All of the USB ports are compatible with the USB 2.0/3.0 and 1.1 specification. The
three USB ports on the front panel (see graphic below) and three of the USB ports on
the rear panel are USB Series “A” ports. These are ports to which you can connect
USB mass storage devices and printers. The instrument USB Host support includes
the standard Microsoft Windows USB drivers for human interface, mass storage,
printing, scanning, and imaging devices. A complete up-to-date list of the Windows
USB class driver support is available on the Microsoft website.
The square USB port (see graphic below) on the rear panel is a USB 3.0 Series “B”
port and is used for controlling the instrument over USB. Information to help you
program your instrument is documented in the X-Series Programmer’s Guide. The
instrument USB device driver included in the instrument software supports the test
and measurement industry standard USBTMC-USB488 device class.
In addition, the IO Libraries CD that was included with your instrument contains USB
Host drivers that allow control of other instruments connected to the USB ports.
Keysight Technologies does not support or warrant correct instrument operation if
additional USB drivers from third parties are installed in the instrument. It is possible
that additional drivers could break the normal USB operation. If USB operation is
broken, recovery would require reinstalling the instrument application using the
Instrument recovery process.
