Installing the USB/GPIB

This section describes the installation process.

Software Installation

Please install theTAMS 63488 software before connecting the USB/GPIB Controller to

the computer’s USB port. The TAMS 63488 software is supported on Windows 2000

(Service Pack 4) and Windows XP. The TAMS 63488 software depends upon theAgilent

IO Libraries. You need to have installed theAgilent IO Libraries M.01.00 or later release,

before you can install the TAMS 63488.

Software installation requires you to haveAdministrator privileges.

Installing the software first ensures that Windows will be able to find the correct driver

that is associated with theTAMS 63488 USB/GPIB Controller.

Hardware Installation

Once the TAMS 63488 software installed, the TAMS 63488 USB/GPIB Controller can be

connected to the computer. Connect the usb cable to the TAMS 63488 USB/GPIB

controller and to the host computer’s USB port.

ESD WARNING: Most interfaces contain components that are sensitive to damage from

electrostatic discharge. Use protective measures including anti-static workstation and

personal grounding devices, if possible.

If there are not enough USB ports on the computer, the TAMS 63488 USB/GPIB Controller

can be connected to a self powered USB hub. The self powered hub should then be

connected to the computer’s USB port with a separate USB cable. It is also necessary to

apply power to the hub.

When installing the TAMS 63488 USB/GPIB Controller, you may get the message :

“HI-SPEED USB Device Plugged into non-HI-SPEED USB Hub”. This indicates that your

USB port is not capable of running at High Speed (480Mps). The TAMS 63488 USB/GPIB

will automatically switch to Full Speed (12Mps). For High Speed operation, you need to

install a USB 2.0 High Speed Interface in your computer.

Once the TAMS 63488 USB/GPIB Controller is connected to the computer or USB hub, the

lights will flash green, then red, and then the power light will turn green. This indicates

that theTAMS 63488 USB/GPIB controller is ready.

After plugging in the TAMS 63488 USB/GPIB Controller to a USB port, the Windows plug

and play manager will detect the new hardware (TAMS USB/GPIB Controller), and briefly

display a screen such as:

The Windows plug&play manager has detected the TAMS 63488 USB/GPIB Controller

and is attempting assign the proper driver for that interface.

Note When installing the TAMS 63488 USB/GPIB Controller software, you may get a

Windows Message indicating that the driver has not passed Windows Logo Testing or a

message indicating that the driver has not been digitally signed. Please disregard these

messages and continue with the installation.

Once the hardware is installed, the TAMS 63488 USB/GPIB Controller needs to be

configured using the IO Config utility.

Configuring the USB/GPIB Controller in SICL/VISA

Configure the interface by executing the IO Config program, which will now be located in

the IO Libraries bin subdirectory. You should also have a shortcut under

Start->Programs->AgilentIOLibraries

Note If theAgilent IO Libraries version M.01.00 were installed using the default values

the IO Libraries bin subdirectory will be found here:

Windows 2000/XP: C:\Program Files\Agilent\IO Libraries\bin\

Upon execution, the IO Config program will present a window like this:

To configure your 63488 interface, please highlight the GPIB TAMS 63488 USB/GPIB

Controller entry underAvailable Interface Types and double click on it or click on the

Configure button.

If you have more than one USB/GPIB Controller in your system the following window

will appear (if you have one controller only, please continue to the next step):

Select the 63488 controller you wish to configure (if you have only have one 63488 USB/

GPIB controller, you will not need to select any interface, the system will do it automati-

callyforyou).Clickon OK.

Nowthefollowingwindowwill appear:

In this window you will select all of the configurable parameters for the TAMS 63488.

Note The entry named “Serial Number” refers to the serial number of the TAMS 63488.

This read only field will match the serial number printed on the TAMS 63488 USB/GPIB

controller.

If you have existing applications that specify a different SICL or VISA name, then you may

need to change these parameters to match the configuration name that the program is

expecting.

Typically, the logical unit does not have to be changed. Traditionally, the first GPIB

interface has been assigned the logical unit of 7.
