Necessary equipment
1. The Agilent 4294A precision impedance analyzer and accessories necessary for
measuring test samples
2. GPIB system controller
You can use the Agilent 4294A as a system controller. To use HP
Instrument BASIC without an external computer, set the 4294A to
system controller mode. For details, see Chapter 11 , "Using HP
Instrument BASIC."
or
You can use an external computer as a system controller. This
requires an HP Vectra PC (or an IBM PC compatible) mounted
with a GPIB interface such as HP 82341D or the HP 9000 series
700 mounted with a GPIB interface such as HP E2071D. In either
case, software such as HP BASIC for Windows or the like is
required for controlling this unit through the GPIB. The HP 9000
series 300 may also be used, but if this computer is used several
peripheral devices are also required.
To use an external computer as a system controller:
a. set the 4294A in addressable-only mode.
Press
b. Set the GPIB's address to 17.
Press
3. Peripheral devices compliant with the intended use and various additional devices
4. GPIB cables (10833A/B/C/D) used for connecting the computer, the Agilent 4294A,
and peripheral devices
