How do I control a TDS3034B VIA TCP/IP from labview?

[RachaelBrown]

I'm attempting to control a TDS3034B via the built in ethernet port. I've downloaded the tktds3k library. The problem is that I don't know what Instrument Resource Name to use for my scope. How do I set this up? Can any one help?

Try TCPIP::::INSTR. You can also use MAX to add a VISA TCP/IP resource for the instrument and define an alias. With an alias (i.e. "Scope") defined, you use that for the resource name and don't have to worry about remembering the ip address or exact syntax of the descriptor every time you need it in your LabVIEW program.

I found the answer by accident on the Tektronix web page
