USB Connections

All of the USB ports are compatible with the USB 2.0 and 1.1 specification. The
two USB ports on the front panel (see graphic below) and four 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 7 USB class 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 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 Keysight 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 hard drive recovery process.
