Step 3: Install the Module

Please refer to the specific product manual for installation instructions. (see "Introduction" on page 7)

Step 4: Using the Applications

The following section provides information on using the installed Utilities, Demonstration applications and
Drivers, both for Windows and Linux environments.

Running the MD1 SFP Application

MD1 SFP is an application which is intended to verify the functionality of the module and to serve as an easy to
use and convenient program for capturing, displaying, and archiving captured data.
This program uses the AgMD1 and other associated drivers to control any supported digitizers. It is installed at the
same time as those drivers.

Windows

There are currently two versions of the SFP application available under Windows. The SFP 1.x version is
gradually being phased out by the introduction of the MD1 SFP (5.x). However at this point in time the SFP 5
application does not fully support all products, modes of operation or features that are supported by the SFP 1.x,
and so the user must decide which SFP to use depending on their application.
MD1 SFP (5.x)
Supports all products which are covered by the MD1 driver:
All Agilent U10xx (8, 10 & 12-bit Digitizers, Time to Digital Converters and Averagers).
l
DGS, DGT, SAR/SSR, Peak TDC and AVG modes of operation.
l
To run the application: Start > All Programs > Agilent > MD1 > MD1 SFP or MD1 SFP_64
MD1 SFP 1.x
This application which was previously known as 'AcqirisLive' has one feature which the MD1SFP (5.x) does not;
that it supports the acquisition from multiple modules simultaneously. Users who require this feature or prefer this
application, may continue to utilize this version.
To run the application: Start > All Programs > Agilent > MD1 > MD1 SFP 1.x

Linux

To run the MD1 SFP 5 for Linux, enter the following command:
If you receive an error regarding a missing dependency in libQtXxx.so.4:
AgMD1SFP5 requires the Qt4 GUI library version 4.5 or higher, to be present on your system. If it is
not, please install it using the appropriate package manger for your distribution (apt-get, yum or
YaST).
