Agilent Connection Expert (ACE) is an Agilent IO Libraries utility that configures the IO interface between the 34401A

and your PC. The IO Libraries are contained on the Agilent Automation-Ready CD or may be downloaded from the

Agilent Developer Network website at: http://adn.tm.agilent.com.

1. Install the Agilent IO Libraries on your PC and connect a GPIB cable between the PC and the 34401A.

2. From the PC taskbar, click the Agilent IO Control icon

and select ‘Agilent Connection Expert’ from the menu.

3. Select the PC’s GPIB interface and select ‘Add Instrument’

from the Connection Expert menu bar.

4. Select the GPIB0 interface and then select the

34401A GPIB address (factory setting = 22).

5. To verify the IO connection, open ‘Interactive IO’

and send the *IDN? command to the 34401A by

selecting “Send & Read”.

6. Use the ‘Options’ tab to increase the timeout period

for commands with execution times > 5 ms (e.g. *TST?).

Do not defeat power cord safety ground feature. Plug

in to a grounded (earthed) outlet. Do not use product in

any manner not specified by the manufacturer.

Do not install substitute parts or perform any

unauthorized modification to the product. Return the

product to Agilent Technologies or a designated repair

center for service to ensure that safety features are

maintained.

WARNING

A WARNING notice denotes a hazard. It calls attention

to an operating procedure, practice, or the like that, if

not correctly performed or adhered to, could result in

personal injury or death. Do not proceed beyond a

WARNING notice until the indicated conditions are fully

understood and met.

CAUTION

A CAUTION notice denotes a hazard. It calls attention

to an operating procedure, practice, or the like that, if

not correctly performed or adhered to, could result in

damage to the product or loss of important data. Do

not proceed beyond a CAUTION notice until the

indicated conditions are fully understood and met.

Risk of electric shock

Refer to manual for additional safety

information.

CAT II (300 v) IEC Measurement Category II. Inputs can be

connected to mains (up to 300 VAC) under

Category II overvoltage conditions.

WARNING

Main Power and Test Input Disconnect: Unplug

product from wall outlet, remove power cord, and

remove all probes from all terminals before servicing.

Only qualified, service-trained personnel should

remove the cover from the instrument.

Line and Current Protection Fuses: For continued

protection against fire, replace the line fuse and the

current-protection fuse only with fuses of the specified

type and rating.

Front/Rear Switch: Do not change the position of the

Front/Rear switch on the front panel while signals are

present on either the front or rear set of terminals.

Switching while high voltages or currents are present

may cause instrument damage and lead to the risk of

electric shock.

IEC Measurement Category II. The HI and LO input

terminals may be connected to mains under IEC

Measurement Category II overvoltage conditions for

measurement of line voltages up to 300 VAC. To avoid

the danger of electric shock, do not connect the inputs

to mains for line voltages above 300 VAC. Connect to

mains only at an outlet, or in a device connected to

such an outlet, on a branch circuit protected by a circuit

breaker. See "Safety Notices" in the User's Guide for

further information.

Protection Limits: To avoid instrument damage and

the risk of electric shock, do not exceed any of the

protection limits indicated on the terminal panel and

defined in the User's Guide.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY INFORMATION

For further information, refer to the "Safety Notices"

section in the Agilent 34401A User's Guide.
