7. Testing Connections

Installation Steps: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

1. Turn on the instrument and the computer.

2. Start the Signal Studio software.

3. Establish communications between the software and the instrument by first selecting New hardware configuration in the Welcome to Keysight Signal Studio... dialog box (System Configuration Wizard) that appears.

   

4. Click OK and follow the remaining prompts. (Be prepared to enter the instrument's IP/GPIB address.)

   • If you are running Signal Studio on a PC connected to a signal generator, refer to the following table to locate the instrument's address (LAN/GPIB) or hostname (LAN only):

     Connection	Signal Generator	Key Path
     LAN	EXG and MXG1	Utility > I/O Config > LAN Setup > Manual Config Settings
     	ESG PSG	Utility > GPIB/RS-232 LAN > LAN Setup
     GPIB	EXG and MXG	Utility > I/O Config > GPIB Setup.
     	ESG PSG	Utility > GPIB/RS-232 LAN > GPIB Address

     1 Signal Studio accepts either the LAN address or hostname. So if you want to use the hostname, just enter the hostname into the software's Hostname/IP Address field.

     If the connection fails or for help with error messages, refer to Troubleshooting.

     After making the connection, you can view the instrument's information by selecting Hardware in the tree view.
