TDS Family Oscilloscope Programmer Manual
4–1
Programming Examples
The example programs illustrate methods you can use to control the digitizing
oscilloscope from the GPIB interface. The diskettes that come with this manual
contain listings for these programs written in Microsoft QuickBASIC 4.5 and
Microsoft QuickC 2.5.
The programs run on a PC-compatible system equipped with a Tektronix
(National Instruments) GPIB board and associated drivers. For example, the
programs will work with a Tektronix S3FG210 (National Instruments GPIB-
PCII/IIA) GPIB package (See Figure 4–1).

Figure 4–1: Equipment Needed to Run the Example Programs
All the example programs assume that the GPIB system recognizes the digitizing
oscilloscope as DEV1 and the PC (controller) as GPIB0. You can use the
program to assign these names.
The example software includes:
H : automatically measures waveform parameters.
H : shows communication between controller and oscilloscope.
