Were do I find a driver for or equivlent for a Tektronix TLS 216

[Geek Engineer]

I have this old Tektronix TLS 216 logic scope that I would like to use with Labview. Does anyone know were I could get a driver or at least one that would be close enouph to be able to modify slightly? I looked on Tektronix web sight and couldn't find much other than the programmers manual.  I think most of the documentation and software that came with the scope has long since been lost.

Thanks,

I have the same issue. Is there anyone who knows?

Hello,

I could not find a driver for that instrument either.  If you don't have an instrument driver, you can always try using the Instrument I/O Assistant (uses VISA) or the NI-VISA API, both in LabVIEW.  All you need is the command set for your instrument and most of the time you can communicate with the instrument successfully.  If your instrument is Serial, there are a number of examples in the LabVIEW example finder that can get you going.  If your instrument is GPIB, check this example out.

I hope one of these options can work for you!
