USB VCP
USB VCP uses the virtual COM port (VCP) to communicate with the measuring instru-
ment. You can use any terminal program to send SCPI commands. USB VCP requires
a USB VCP driver on the controlling computer. If the computer requests a driver instal-
lation, you can download the driver at the Rohde
&
, HO732). You need administrator rights to install the
driver.
12.2.3
USB MTP
USB MTP is the USB media transfer protocol. It is a solution to load data from the
oscilloscope to the computer. Remote control using SCPI commands is not possible.
USB MTP does not need a driver installation. Connect a USB cable to the USB type B
connector at the instrument and to the computer (USB type A). Select USB MTP as
interface, and you can access the oscilloscope data from the computer. You see the
oscilloscope in the computer's Device Manager and in the file explorer as portable
instrument.
