Configure an instrument

After an instrument has been added to the Control Panel, it must be configured for its specific hardware components. In order to configure an instrument, the instrument must be turned on and connected to the same network as your Agilent Instrument Controller or Workstation.

Once an instrument has been configured in the Control Panel, you can update the configuration directly from the Acquisition program.

1. Click Instruments and select the instrument.
2. Click Configure Instrument.
