tektronix 2012B two channel digital through the USB

I am programming by LabVIEW 8.2 constructing a front panel VI for the tektronix 2012B two channel digital sending data from the scope to a PC using the command WFMPre , so im wondering if you have any program similar to get the Y offset and X increment in seconds per point .

Are you using the driver for the scope? It does read the preamble and return the Y offset and x increment.

Hello Lakazo,

Dennis has kindly linked the required drivers, you will need to download and install these driver to be able to use labview 8.2 to communicate with your device. After you install these drivers, open up the tktds 1k2k library. This should be found in the LabVIEW 8.2\instr.lib\tktds1k2k folder.
Open the block diagram of the tktds 1k2k VI Tree.vi and you will see all the vi's available for your device.

To set the vertical offset you can use the tktds1k2k Configure Channel.vi
To retrieve the x increment there exist a couple of vi's to use including the tktds 1k2k Read Waveform.vi and tktds Fetch Waveform.vi
The context help (Control+H) contains documentation that will assist you in selected the right vi to you for your particular application.

I hope this answers your question?
