Remote Communication
This section explains how to prepare and setup the oscilloscope for control and
operation over the IEEE Std 488.2-1987 (GPIB) interface. For more information,
see your programmer manual and the TDS Family Option 13 Instruction Manual
(Option 13 equipped instruments only).
To set up remote communications, be sure your setup meets GPIB protocol and
interface requirements. Then do the following procedures.
Connect the Oscilloscope to the GPIB. To connect the oscilloscope, plug an IEEE
Std 488.2-1987 GPIB cable (available from Tektronix, part number
012-0991-00) into the GPIB connector on the oscilloscope rear panel and into
the GPIB port on your controller or hardcopy device (see Figure 3–51).
