Programming Examples
Overview
Three example programs, which demonstrate methods that you can use
to control the instrument through the General Purpose Interface Bus
(GPIB), are included on your TDS5000B Series Product Software CD.
These example programs are installed as part of the GPIB Programmer
installation, which includes the TDS5000B Series Oscilloscope Pro-
grammer Online Guide.
To install the ”GPIB Programmer”, perform the following procedure:
1. Insert the TDS5000B Series Product Software CD in your CD
drive.
2. Open the folder named GPIB Programmer.
3. Double--click Setup.exe.
4. Follow the Install Wizard directions.
An Examples directory will be created with the following path
name:
C:\Program Files\TekScope\Programmer\Examples
Within the Examples directory are two subdirectories, Source and Pro-
grams.
Source contains the source files, written in Microsoft Visual C++ , Ver-
sion 6.0, which is required to build executable files for each of the fol-
lowing example programs:
H Meas.c ---- This example program demonstrates how to perform a
periodic amplitude measurement on CH 1 of your instrument.
H GetWfm.c ---- This example program demonstrates how to acquire
and output the CH 1 waveform in a 500--point RIBANARY format.
The program then queries the instrument to get the waveform
preamble information, formats the binary waveform data as ASCII
values, and, finally, writes out a report of the waveform preamble
and ASCII data points to a file named WFM_DATA.PRN.
H Tl.c ---- This example program demonstrates how to use a general
talker/listener program to allow the user to send commands and
queries to the instrument and display the responses.
A README file in the Source directory has the latest documentation.
Programs contains compiled, executable files for each of the example
programs in the Source directory (see above).
The programs run on a PC--compatible system equipped with a Nation-
al Instruments GPIB board and associated drivers.
