Please install the Photonic Application Suite before you connect any
applicable instrument(s) to the USB port of the PC! This ensures that the
drivers are available when you connect the instrument(s). If you have
connected the instrument(s) prior to software installation, you may have to
delete the instrument(s) manually from the Windows Device Manager. This
does not apply to instruments that are connected via GPIB.
After installation of the Photonic Application Suite, connect the
instruments to the local area network (LAN), USB, or GPIB. You may use
USB hubs to increase the number of USB ports on your PC.
Several instruments can also be accessed through your local network. For
the connected instruments to be found by Photonic Application Suite
engines, they need to be configured in VISA, for example with the
Connection Expert which is part of the IO Libraries Suite if Keysight VISA is
primary.
After the instruments have been connected and recognized, start the
Launch Pad located in the start menu. Then click on "Fast Spectral Loss".
On first start, the Configuration Wizard appears and searches for all
suitable instruments. Follow the instructions given by the Configuration
Wizard. After finishing the wizard, the application is displayed with all the
configured instruments. If you change your hardware configuration, run
the wizard again by clicking on File->Run Configuration Wizard.
