Connecting Your Oscilloscope to a Computer
You may want to document your work for future ref erence. Instead of saving screen images and waveform data to a CompactFlash
or USB s torage device, and then generating a report later, you may want to send it directly to a remote PC for analysis. You may
also want to control an oscilloscope at a remote loca tion from y ou r computer.
Two ways to connect your oscilloscope to a computer are the TekVISA-based OpenCho ice and the e*Scope Web-enabled tool.
Use OpenChoice to communicate with your oscilloscope from your computer through a software application. Use e*Scope to
communicate with you r oscilloscope through a Web browser.
Using OpenChoice
OpenChoice lets you use your MS-Windows computer to acquire data f rom your oscilloscope for use in an analysis package that
runs on your PC, such as Microsoft Excel, Nationa l Instruments LabVIEW. or a prog ram of your own creation. You can use a
common communications protocol, such as USB, Ethernet, or GPIB to connect the computer to the oscilloscope.
