2. If you are running a MS Windows PC, open a Telnet client.
NOTE. On MS Windows 7, you must first enable Telnet in order for Telnet to
work.
3. Start a terminal session between your computer and your oscilloscope by
typing in an open command with the oscilloscope's LAN address and port
number.
For example, if the oscilloscope IP address was 123.45.67.89 and the port
number was the default value of 4000, you could open a session by writing
into the MS Windows Telnet screen: o 123.45.67.89 4000. The oscilloscope
will send a help screen to the computer when it has finished connecting.
4. You can now type in a standard query, such as, *idn?. The Telnet session
window will respond by displaying a character string describing your
instrument. You can type in more queries and view more results using this
Telnet session window. You can find the syntax for relevant commands,
queries and related status codes in the Programmer Manual that is available at
the Tektronix website.
NOTE. Do not use the backspace key on the computer during an MS Windows
Telnet session with the oscilloscope.
