Confirm that the version number matches that of the new firmware.
Connecting your oscilloscope to a computer
Connect your oscilloscope directly to a computer to let the PC analyze your data,
collect screen images, or to control your oscilloscope.
Three ways to connect your oscilloscope to a computer are through the VISA
drivers, the e*Scope Web-enabled tools, and a socket server. Use VISA to
communicate with your oscilloscope from your computer through a software
application, such as Tektronix OpenChoice Desktop
®
. Use e*Scope to
communicate with your oscilloscope through a Web browser, such as Microsoft
Internet Explorer. For best results, use a browser that supports html 5.
Using VISA
VISA lets you use your MS-Windows computer to acquire data from your
oscilloscope for use in an analysis package that runs on your PC, such as
Microsoft Excel, National Instruments LabVIEW, Tektronix OpenChoice
Desktop software, or a program of your own creation. You can use a common
communications connection, such as USB, Ethernet, or GPIB, to connect the
computer to the oscilloscope.
For VISA, load the VISA drivers on your computer. Also, load your application,
such as OpenChoice Desktop. You will find the drivers and OpenChoice Desktop
software on the appropriate CD that comes with your oscilloscope or at the
Tektronix software finder Web page (www.tektronix.com).
Using e*Scope
With e*Scope, you can access and control any Internet-connected MDO3000
Series oscilloscope from a web browser on your computer.
Connect the oscilloscope to your network using the LAN port. The built-in LXI
web interface (Core 2011, Version 1.4) provides network configuration
information, which you can edit and customize. It also provides remote
instrument control through the e*Scope user interface. There you can control
instrument settings, save screen images, save instrument data or setups, and much
more. Do all this through a password-protectable web-interface.
