Setting up the Wi

-Fi network

Setting up the

Wi-Fi network

Connecting a Wi-Fi transceiver (dongle) to the rear USB Host port on your oscilloscope enables you to connect the

instrument to a Wi-Fi network. You can then use the Wi-Fi connection to access the oscilloscope from mobile devices

such as a smart phone or tablet, or from a PC.

This section covers conﬁguring the oscilloscope to connect to a Wi-Fi network. A separate section covers conﬁguring the

oscilloscope to connect to a network using a C AT5 Ethernet cable. (See page 82, Setting up the LAN network.)

Turning Wi-Fi on or off

You must turn on the Wi-Fi function before you can communicate with the oscilloscope. Use this procedure to turn on

or off Wi-Fi.

Prerequisites:

Connect a supported W i-Fi dongle to the rear USB Host port (Tektronix option TEKUSBWIFI). Recommendation is to use

the rear US

B port so that you keep the front USB port available for saving and loading ﬁles.
