How to save a waveform from TDS3000 series oscilloscope to PC via GPIB?

[raphky]

Hi, I'm a summer intern and I've been recently assigned the task to transfer a telecom pulse mask waveform from a TDS3054 to the PC via GPIB. My question is, is there anyway that I can save the waveform on the scope and transfer the file onto my PC? Or even better yet, save the waveform directly onto my PC in a spreadsheet format?

First, download the instrument driver for the TDS3054 scope from National Instruments' Instrument Driver Network. Depending on what software you have installed on your system, you may need to download additional software (look at the "Required Software" section). If you have Measurement Studio 6.0 and the NI-GPIB driver, you should have everything you need.

Once you've installed the instrument driver, look at the instructions that came with the instrument driver for how to save and read from your oscilloscope, and look at the instructions here for how to use that instrument driver with Visual Basic 6.0.
