Tektronix TDS644B Data Acquistion Over GPIB Using TDS6xxx Drivers?

[Goldfinger]

I am new to LabVIEW so please forgive me if this question is dumb.

I am using LabVIEW to control a Tektronix TDS 644B Digital Oscilloscope over a GPIB interface.  I want LabVIEW to log data from the oscilloscope into my computer's hard drive each time the oscillosope is triggered.

The TDS 6xxx drivers in National Instruments website don't seem have a mechanism of alerting LabVIEW that the scope has triggered.

Does anyone know how to implement a solution to my problem (preferably using the existing TDS 6xxx drivers)?

Thanks in advance.

Hi

The srq mechanism can be used for what you want but is not in the driver.

The wait for srq can then wait for the next data.

It involves programming the scope event register(s) with the correct values and takes time to test but it can be done.
