""How do I control the TEK TDS3052 by LABVIEW installed in a PC?""

[kevinn]

I used the "crossover" cable directly connect the PC and the TEK TDS3052(with a ethernet port).What I have done is that I configured the ethernet parameters( the IP adress, the net mask etc.). And when I apply the "Ping" command in the "run" window of the windows 98, there is a correct return.So the ethernet network is well done.Now I want to use the LABVIEW to control the oscilloscope. But I don't know how to do then.Who can tell me the detail steps which I can take next, thanks a lot.

Kevinn,

The first thing you need to do, if you haven't already, is download the instrument driver. This can be found on our web site by going to www.ni.com >> Technical support >> Option 3: Instrument drivers >> downloads >> enter in tektronix, oscilloscope, and LabVIEW. Locate the model number and download and install the driver.

Then, Open, configure and run the example. It's called tkds30xx Getting Started.vi

This should get you started on your way.
