tektronix tds5000 - how to begin

[Nadav_Chernin]

Hello,
i want control Tektronix tds5000 oscilograph in LabVIEW. I downloaded it's driver from web, that consist dll, help files and examples, and fp file for LabWindows/CVI. It is new for me instrument controling and i don't know how i use it functions (through VISA, GPIB or VXI). I know that this is VXI pnp driver.

Personally I never use the VXI pnp drivers. They are often cumbersome, and slow. Just pull out the programming manual (every instrument comes with one). There should be several pieces of example code and documentation on all the commands.
I prefer to use VISA for instrument communication. So just use commands like viPrintf, viQueryf, etc... Maybe the folks in the LabVIEW discussion group could be more LabVIEW specific?
