Connecting Your Oscilloscope to a Computer
You m ay want to document your work for future reference. Instead of saving screen images and waveform data to a USB
flash drive and generating a report later, you may want to get a copy of the image or waveform data directly from a remote
PC for analysis. You may also want to control an oscilloscope at a remote location from your computer. (See page 113,
Saving a Screen Image.) (See page 114, Saving and Recalling Waveform Data.)
Two ways to connect your oscilloscope to a computer are through the V ISA (Virtual Instrument Software Architecture) drivers
and the e*Scope Web-enabled tools. Use VISA to communicate with your oscilloscope from your computer through a
software application. Use e*Scope to communicate with your oscilloscope through a Web browser.
Using VISA
VISA let
s you use your MS-Windows computer to acquire data fro m your oscilloscope for use in an analysis package that
runs on your PC, such as Microsoft Excel, National Instruments LabVIEW, or a program of your own creation. You can use a
common communications connection, such as USB or Ethernet, to connect the computer to the oscilloscope.
To set up VISA communications between your oscilloscope and a c omputer:
1. Load th
e VISA drivers on your computer.
You will find the drivers on the appropriate
CD that comes with your oscilloscope or
at the
Tektronix software finder Web page
(www.tek tronix.com ).
