connecting Labview to Tektronix TDS3014 via RS232 serial

[lbaghli]

Hi

I downloaded the "tkds30xx_LV60.msi" driver for tekto TDS3014 oscilloscope.
But I have only RS232 serial interface and it is mentionned that the driver should work with this also.
When I put the .vi on the schamtics, it is configured for GBIB...
do anybody worked with serial ???
thanks for helping me

There are lots of information in this forum on rs232 comunication. Perform a search for rs232. I once posted a question on this subject (check link).
Before you get started, check TDS3014 manual for correct port settings and cable configuration.

Refering to the Instrument Driver VIs located on the Functions>Instrument I/O>Instrument Drivers palette > Your Inst >> Intialize.vi. Instr descriptor uniquely identifies the instrument to open or initialize. Serial is referenced as ASRL[port]::INSTR
