    Working with the Instant Pilot Connecting External Devices Connecting External Devices There are several kinds of interface that enable the Agilent Series modules to communicate with a range of other output devices. For some of them, extra hardware needs to be installed. Configuration of selected interface parameters is possible and is handled individually for each module, since some interfaces are only available with certain modules (depending on installation).
