Driver Tektronix TDS2014C Labview 2012

Solved!
Go to solution

Hello i have to deal with problem about PC communication with oscilloscope in new LabView 2012. I downloaded all the drivers from website

 

http://sine.ni.com/apps/utf8/niid_web_display.download_page?p_id_guid=047216EC20B66FABE0440003BA7CCD...

 

and it seems that none of these are working. TDS2014C is connected via USB and I am running Windows 7. In Control Panel - Device Manager i see this device but of coure without drivers so there is some kind of error. I was trying to find any other device just for Windows but there is no driver. So please help me with this problem of running TDS2014C drivers on my computer in LabView.

 

Before i reinstalled LabView to 2012 it worked but now not, i am not sure if it is possible that because of new version of LabView it stopped working (previous version of LabView was 2010 SP1).

Ok everything is solved, guys from tektronix helped me. I qote their answer:

 

Measurement instruments that have usb-connections use USB-TMC to communicate, so you need a usb-tmc driver to get the higher-level labview pieces to work.

You can find one by trying to install TekVisa, or installing the right NI-Visa components.

So you can try hitting these urls up:

or
http://www.tek.com/oscilloscope/tds7054-software/tekvisa-connectivity-software-v400

(I don't use Labview myself, but it sounds like this is the piece you're missing).
