1 Installing the Keysight
82357B
This chapter shows a suggested five-step process to install the 82357B and the
Keysight IO Libraries Suite, to connect the 82357B to your PC and to program
GPIB instruments via the 82357B.

1 Installing the Keysight 82357B
16 Keysight 82357B User’s Guide
Step 1: Checking Your Shipment
Your 82357B USB/GPIB Interface shipment should include the items shown in
Figure 1-1. If any item is missing or damaged, keep the shipping materials and
contact Keysight Technologies. See “Contacting Keysight” on page 50 later in this
guide for addresses and telephone numbers.
As you check the shipment items, verify that the 82357B serial number at the
bottom of the 82357B matches the serial number shown on the serial number
label of the 82357B Kit Box and on the 82357B Certificate of Calibration. If the
Serial Numbers do not match, contact Keysight. If all Serial Numbers match, you
may want to record the Serial Number for future reference.

Step 2: Installing Keysight IO Libraries Suite
This section describes how to install the Keysight IO Libraries Suite on your PC.
The Keysight IO Libraries Suite is a collection of libraries and utilities that gives
you the ability to use your instruments from instrument control software.
You should install the Keysight IO Libraries Suite as your first step before installing
the hardware because it installs the necessary software and drivers to control your
instruments.
If possible, always use the most recent version of the Keysight IO Libraries Suite.
This version supports the newest interfaces and operating systems, and has the
most advanced features.
1Verify that your PC meets the minimum system requirements. Refer to the IO
Libraries Web page at www.keysight.com/find/iosuite or the IO Libraries
Suite Readme.
2Close all applications on your computer. Insert the Keysight
Automation-Ready CD in your CD-ROM drive or download and install the IO
Libraries software from www.keysight.com/find/iosuite.
3Follow the instructions as prompted during the installation. You can select
either a Typical or a Custom installation:
–Typical - In most cases, you can select the Typical installation which
installs the IO Libraries Suite using the recommended settings.
–Custom - Select the Custom installation to:
aInstall the IO Libraries Suite in another directory (for 32-bit operating
systems only).
bSave disk space by not installing interface manuals.
cUse Keysight 32- bit VISA with another vendor's VISA on the same PC in
side- by- side mode. Details on side- by- side mode are available at
www.keysight.com/find/side-by-side-install or in the IO Libraries Suite
help.
NOTE
You must have Administrator privileges to install Keysight IO Libraries Suite
Connection Expert.

Step 3: Connecting the 82357B
After the Keysight IO Libraries Suite software has been installed, you can connect
the 82357B to any USB port on your PC or you can connect the 82357B via
standard USB hubs.
82357B hardware description
The Keysight 82357B provides a direct interface connection from your PC USB
port to GPIB instruments. The 82357B includes an attached USB cable that is
USB 2.0 compliant. This cable is shielded and the connector is specified for up to
1,500 insertions. An 82357B can be directly connected to a single GPIB
instrument or up to 14 GPIB instruments via GPIB cables. Up to four 82357B
converters may be connected to your PC via standard USB hubs.
