NOTE. The CD that your oscilloscope shipped with contains additional tools for
efficient connectivity between your oscilloscope and your computer. These include
toolbars that speed connectivity with Microsoft Excel and Word.
TekVISA 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, Ethernet, or GPIB, to connect the computer to the oscilloscope.
The TekVISA drivers are automatically installed by installing the OpenChoice
Desktop software that came with your instrument's CD. You can also download
the OpenChoice Desktop software from www.tektronix.com\downloads.
NOTE.
TekVISA cannot run if any other version of VISA drivers is installed.
