Installation Options
After the AD007 GPIB-LAN Adapter is set up on the network and
connected to the GPIB you may proceed with either one, or both, of
the following installation options:
H Enable direct GPIB-to-network printing. Proceed to Operating
Basics section that begins on page 33 and access the Printer Setup
web page.
H Enable full GPIB-LAN communication. Proceed to the next
section, Installing TekVISA Software.
Installing TekVISA Software
Except for direct GPIB-to-network printing, all applications that
communicate over the network to t he AD007 adapter must use the
Tektronix version of VISA (TekVISA). See the AD007 section in the
Tektronix Software Solutions Installation manual (Tektronix part
number 071--1140-- 01) for instructions on installing the TekVISA
software. You can install TekVISA on any number of PCs.
NOTE. If you have installed Tektronix WaveStar for Oscilloscopes,
then you do not need to install TekVISA separately; TekVISA is
automatically installed when WaveStar for Oscilloscopes is installed.
NOTE. Do not install the TekVISA software if you do not want to
overwrite your present VISA. The program detects any previ ous
versions of VISA and overwrites them with TekVISA.
