This section shows how to prepare the AFG for use. Included are
instructions to install the AFG, to download the AFG Device Driver, and to
address the AFG.
The AFG can be installed in any mainframe slot, except slot 0. For
installation instructions in a B-Size VXIbus System, refer to the B-size
Installation and Getting Started Guide. For installation instructions in
C-Size VXIbus Systems, refer to the C-size Installation and Getting Started
Guide.
The HP E1340A AFG driver allows the AFG to operate in an
HP E1300/E1301 Mainframe or HP E1405/E1406 Command Module using
the Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments (i.e., SCPI)
instrument command language. The driver is supplied on the AFG's
example program disks (see " Instrument and Programming Languages" on
page 19 for more information on the disks).
