Getting Started
these parameters, you can do so in the Agilent Connection
Expert window.
i
Select the FIBERSYSTEM 8000 instrument or
interface in the explorer
pane in the center of the Agilent Connection Expert
window.
The properties of the selected item appear in the
properties pane on the right. When you right-click on an
item in the explorer pane, you see a shortcut menu of
actions that you may take on that item. These actions
are also available from the menus at the top of the
Agilent Connection Expert window. The most common
actions are also listed in the Agilent Connection Expert’s
task guide (the left pane of the window).
ii
You may also add instruments or interfaces manually to
your test system configuration if the Agilent Connection
Expert does not automatically detect the hardware (for
example, if it is connected via Ethernet).
See the Agilent IO Libraries Suite Online Help for more
information on the Agilent Connection Expert and on
configuration changes.
Test instrument connections:
The Agilent Connection Expert will automatically send an
identification query (*IDN?) to any instrument that has its
auto-identify property set to Yes. (See the Agilent IO
Libraries Suite Online Help if you want to turn this function
off.)
When you see a green check mark on the icon representing
an instrument, th is mean s that the instrument has
responded as expected. (Note that some instruments do
no t su ppo rt th e *IDN? que ry and will n o t re spon d
appropriately.) The instrument’s identification information is
displayed in the properties pane on the right side of the
Agilent Connection Expert window.
You can explicitly test the connections to your instruments,
and exercise more of their functionality, by selecting Send
commands to this instrument in the task guide or shortcut
menu. This starts the Interactive IO utility, which allows you
to send commands to your instruments and see their
responses. Note that some commands (such as *TST?,
instrument self-test) may take longer than Interactive IO’s
default timeout; you can modify the timeou t in the
Interactive IO window by selecting Interact > Options...
