Remote Operation and Extended Analysis

There are many ways to connect to your MSO/DPO50 00 Series

oscilloscope to conduct extended analysis. The ﬁrst makes use of the

Windows R emote Desktop capability – con nect directly to your oscilloscope

and operate the user interface re motely through the built-in Remote

Desktop. A seco

nd way to connect is through Tektronix OpenChoice

software which make s use of the fast embedde d bus, transferring

waveform data directly from acquisition to analysis applications on

the W ind ows desktop at much faster speeds than conventional GPIB

transfers. Indu stry-standard protocols, such as TekVISA™ interface

and ActiveX con trols are included for using and enhancing Windows

applications

for data analysis and documentation. IVI-COM instrument

drivers are included to enable easy communication with the oscilloscope

using GPIB, serial data, and LAN connections f rom programs running on

the instrument or an external PC. Or, use the Software Developer's Kit

(SDK) to help create custom so ftware to automate multistep processes in

waveform collection and analysis with Visual BASIC, C, C++, MATLAB,

LabVIEW, La b

Windows/CVI, and other common Application Development

Environments (ADE). Microsoft

Excel and Word toolbars are included to

simplify data capture and transfer directly to these programs running on the

Windows desktop. A third way to connect to your oscilloscope is through

NI LabVIEW SignalExpress Tektronix E dition, enabling you to instantly

acquire, generate, analyze, compare, im port, and save measurement data

and signals u

sing an intuitive drag-an d-drop user interface that does not

require any programming.
