TDS 420 A

[Sreekul]

Hi all,

I am new to Labview.  I want to connect  tektronix TDS 420A to a computer and want to get information from both channels (CH 1 AND CH 2) as an excel file.  I have GPIB USB-HS.  Can anyone tell me a good starting point? I have downloaded tktds4xx driver from national instruments.  I have it on the computer which is connected to TDS 420A via GPIB USB HS.  I also have Labview installed on the computer which is connected to scope.

Hey,

I would check to see if you have the NI-488.2 driver downloaded for GPIB communication. Once you have that there are great LabVIEW examples under the GPIB folder in the example finder. But before then you can check out this link to get you started.

Hi Brian,

Thanks for your reply.I have NI-488.2 downloaded and I have the driver for tektronix 420A.  I am now checking some of the examples provided in the tektronix driver library.
