Installing the E5805A USB/RS232 Interface Drivers
The E5805A ships with the Driver and the Automation- Ready
CDs. The Driver CD software must be installed for the product
to operate. Once the Driver software is installed, the E5805A
can be attached to a USB port. Your PC should be able to
connect to it, and the four RS232 ports on the E5805A should
appear as additional Windows® COM ports. These ports can be
used by your PC to connect serial instruments and general
purpose devices to the four port RS- 232 converter. The IO
Libraries CD shipped with the E5805A allows you to use I/O
libraries (for example VISA, VISA COM, and SICL) to do
“instrument style” programming of instruments or devices. It
also provides a suite of tools for connection management and
interactive instrument control. If you are using VISA or other
T&M specialized software to program instruments, or if you are
using application software that does instrument control, you
may want to also install the IO Libraries Suite.
