Efficient Courseware Management using Tektronix Oscilloscope (TBS1000B-EDU)
Sharing and Updating Lab Information
The courseware management solution solves a variety of
issues when dealing with the distribution of lab material to
students and to electronic labs that support multiple classes.
Since the lab content is loaded onto the TBS1000B-EDU
electronically it can alleviate the need for paper lab manuals. If
a lab needs updating to support recent lectures or equipment
changes it can be done quickly using the PC Courseware
Editor Tool. Changes are made to the lab and then the
updated lab can be quickly redistributed to the oscilloscopes
via a USB drive. This saves cost, time and effort and with
electronic distribution there is no longer a need to reprint out-
of-date lab manuals.
The courseware is also structured so that multiple labs can
be organized into a grouping called a “Course”. A “Course”
can correspond to a specific class or lab series. Up to eight
courses can be loaded onto a TBS1000B-EDU scope and
each course can contain up to 30 or more labs. This means
for an electronic laboratory that supports multiple classes, lab
material could potentially be loaded onto an oscilloscope at
the beginning of a term and wouldn’t require updating until the
next term begins. Although there is still the option of uploading
new information onto the instruments mid-term if updates are
required.
