Tektronix oscilloscope how to capture signal?

I have a Tektronix TDS 3014 oscilloscope. I connected the RS232 to a USB converter. Now I have it plugged into my laptop. How can I capture the signal of the oscillscope so I can analyze for future project?

Just some details to add to the check list

1) Have you turned the computer on

2) I suppose you want to use Labview. Have you installed that on your computer. And actually started the development environment.

Labview is like all software development system. It do have have what is called a learning curve. That mean you can not just install Labview and hope it will work like a magic wand. They have been fewer but some Labview sales people(with a used car salesman attitude)  still like to tell the lie that you can take anybody directly from the street. And they will in 30 minutes understand how to create advanced Labview application. That is wrong. You actually have use Labview as a development system. In order to create working program. Also good questions draw good answers. So why do you not tell us what you have done so far, and why and how you struggle. As a start.  



Besides which, my opinion is that Express VIs Carthage must be destroyed deleted
(Sorry no Labview "brag list" so far)

Download the driver using the LabVIEW Tools>Instrumentation>Find Instrument Drivers menu or go straight to the Instrument Driver Network. Select the project-style driver and you will have a couple of examples (Help>Find Examples>Hardware Input and Output>Instrument Drivers>LabVIEW Plug and Play). The IDN page has links on what a driver is and how to use one.

You can also try SignalExpress, if you only want to take data and analyze it elsewhere.  Tektronix supplies specific steps for many of their scopes.  If, not, the generic IVI acquire steps should work.
