4-Channel SPO Digital Oscilloscopes  

XIII - Remote Control of the Oscilloscope 

 

 

 

Remote Control 

There are two methods to remotely control the oscilloscope:                   

using SCPI commands or                                                                           
using the specialized PC software « EasyScopeX » 

User-defined 
programming 

User can control the oscilloscope by programming through standard SCPI 
(

Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments

) commands. For 

more details about commands and programming, please refer to the 
« Programming Manual ».  
User can remotely control the oscilloscope through the specialized PC software

 

« EasyScopeX ».

 

Using the PC software 
« EasyScopeX »   

The oscilloscope can communicate with a PC through its « USB Device » port 
(USB B connector) or through its « LAN Ethernet » interface (RJ45 connector). 
These connectors are located on the rear panel of the unit. 
 This section describes how to use the « EasyScopeX » PC software to 
remotely control a DOX3000 oscilloscope through its USB or LAN interface.

  

Control through USB 

Use a USB cable to connect the oscilloscope

 (USB Device connector) 

to a PC

 

(USB host connector) 

with

 EasyScopeX 

installed

. 

Installing the 

USBTMC interface in 

the DOX3000 

 

Through the I/O submenu of the UTILITY menu set the 

« USB Device » 

interface

 

to

 USBTMC

. If you have installed the EasyScopeX software, the PC 

will display pop-up dialogue boxes when you connect the oscilloscope to the PC 
for the first time. Please follow the prompting messages to install the "USB Test 
and Measurement Device" . Below are the steps:
