GPIB Communications

Either a GPIB communications card or the optional USB-GPIB-HS
converter must be installed in your computer to interface the
computer and the Agilent AA. See the next section for information on
installing the PCI-GPIB communications card or Page 55 for
connecting the USB-GPIB-HS converter.
Although the Agilent field service engineer will install the GPIB communications
NOTE
device for you during the installation process, you may need to configure the
driver yourself at some later stage, for example if you change the PC.

Installing the PCI-GPIB Communications Card

The National Instruments PCI-GPIB card supplied with the
instrument must be installed in your PC to interface the PC with the
Agilent AA spectrometer and accessories.
