Figure 3–29: Connecting the Digitizing Oscilloscope and Hardcopy Device Via a PC
Print. If your controller is PC-compatible and it uses the Tektronix GURU or
S3FG210 (National Instruments GPIB-PCII/IIA) GPIB package, do the
following steps to print a hardcopy:
1. Use the MS-DOS cd command to move to the directory that holds the
software that came with your GPIB board. For example, if you installed the
software in the GPIB-PC directory, type: cd GPIB-PC
2. Run the IBIC program that came with your GPIB board. Type: IBIC
3. Type: IBFIND DEV1 where “DEV1” is the name for the digitizing
oscilloscope you defined using the IBCONF.EXE program that came with
the GPIB board.
NOTE. If you defined another name, use it instead of “DEV1”. Also, remember
that the device address of the digitizing oscilloscope as set with the IB-
CONF.EXE program should match the address set in the digitizing oscilloscope
Utility menu (typically, use “1”).
Making hardcopies using some hardcopy formats may generate a time-out on
your controller. If a time-out occurs, increase the time-out setting of your
controller software.
4. Type: IBWRT “HARDCOPY START”.
