Additional
Information
Programming the HP E8491A is through HP VISA and HP SICL functions.
Although this manual identifies the specific functions used, you will need to
refer to the HP VISA and HP SICL manuals for detailed information.
Also, included with the HP I_O Libraries is the utility ‘I_O Config’. This
utility is used to configure the HP E8491A and has a help file associated with
it.
