Table 1- 1: Communications Ports And Functions - Tektronix TDS200 Series Programmer's Manual

Getting Started
This manual contains information on how to remotely control and
operate your oscilloscope through communications protocol and
commands.
NOTE. For TDS1000B and TDS2000B series, you need to install the
PC Communications software from the CD that came with the
oscilloscope on a PC before you connect the oscilloscope USB
Device port to the PC. Refer to the TDS1000B and TDS2000B user
manual for installation information.
For all products, you need to connect an appropriate cable between
the communications port on your oscilloscope and your PC.
The next table describes where the communications port is located
on an extension module or oscilloscope, and the function of the port.
