Tektronix instrument drivers. The scope initialize VI

[jeff.nelson@flukecal.com]

The scope initialize VI doesn't recognize the scope model which is "DPO_SCOPE_4104B". Is there an updated VI?

Which driver are you using? This one says it supports DPO 4104 (tested) and DPO 4104B (not tested).

Don't be afraid to fix a broken "driver".

Most Instrument drivers packages "Initialize" vi simply does an IEEE 488.2 common command "*IDN?" query to check if the right instrument is present.

There is nothing special about a *IDN? querry and most modern instruments will respond with their make, model, serial number, and possibly even a firmware version.

An older version of the driver may not have the newer model number in the VI.

Jusd open the Initialize VI block diagram and add it.
