Installation

2.

Connect the oscilloscope to your computer
with the appropriate USB or Ethernet cable.

To communicate between the oscilloscope and
a GPIB system, connect the oscilloscope to
the TEK-USB-488 GPIB-to-USB Adapter with
a USB cable. Then connect the adapter to
your GPIB system with a GPIB cable. Cycle
the power on the oscilloscope.
