From the Internet

If you are downloading and installing the Signal Studio software from the Internet, verify or perform each step of the installation procedure in the order shown below.

1.

System Requirements

Verify that your hardware and PC meet the requirements.

2.

.NET Framework

Download and install the .NET framework (version 4.0) onto your PC.

4.

Keysight IO Libraries

Download and install Keysight IO Libraries Suite 18.0 or later onto your PC.

7.

Signal Studio Software

Download and install the N7620B Signal Studio for Pulse Building software.

8.

Equipment Setup

Determine the IO interface, configure the equipment and connect the PC.

9.
