Using a Tektronix TDS540B scope with LabView 6.i

[Adam_J]

I'm trying to use the oscilloscope above for data acquistion, but not familiar with which .vi's to use. There are a lot including Initialize, Read Meas., Meas. On-Off, etc. If anyone who has used this or a similar scope has anything to offer I'd appreciate it.
THANKS

What VIs that you use depends on what you want to do with the scope. You'll always have to use the Initialize at the beginning and Close at the end but everything else is up for grabs. Look at the Getting Started VI. It uses Autosetup but you may want to specify vertical and horizontal parameters. If you want to capture and transfer a waveform, you don't need the measure functions. What you need to do is set the scope up manually and then use the VIs that correspond to the actions you made. Turn on Context Help to get a pretty good description of what each VI does.
