Connect your oscilloscope directly to a computer to let the PC analyze your data,

VISA drivers, the e*Scope Web-enabled tools, or via a socket server.

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 your own custom software. You can use a common communications
connection, such as USB or Ethernet, to connect the computer to the oscilloscope.
