We hv few Tektronix scopes in our lab. One of them is TDS3014B, and I found a ethernet port at the real panel of the scope. Can we write a program (e.g. using Matlab, Visual Basic, C#, etc) to control the scope as well as retrieve data from the scope? Pls advise. Thanks.
" The TDS3000B is truly an e*Scope, allowing you to control it via the Internet using your PC from anywhere. Simply connect your TDS3000B to your LAN via its built-in , Ethernet port open a browser window on your PC and enter the TDS3000B's IP address into the URL window. The oscilloscope will respond and allow you to control it from your browser. You can download e*Scope control software to your PC for a graphical interface that displays the TDS3000B screen and front panel controls for easy access.
e*Scope control gives you simple remote access to your TDS3000B measurement instrument – whether across the room or across the globe. You can check operation of your prototype running in the lab from your desktop PC, help service technicians troubleshoot equipment at remote locations or gather data from a colleague's instrument at another development site. e*Scope extends your work space from your bench to the whole world."
I wrote a Matlab program to communicate with the scope. I can access data from Channel 1 and 2, but not Channel 3 and 4. The scope has 4 channels physically...
