Appendix B: Connect the Instrument to a Computer

Install USB Dr

ivers

Two USB drivers must be installed before connecting the oscilloscope to a PC.

One driver is for the oscilloscope and the second driver is for the USB serial port

on the PC. The

oscilloscope does not need to be connected to the PC during the

initial USB driver installation.

1. To install the USB drivers, use the Tektronix

InstallShield Wizard that is included on the

OpenChoice CD provided with the instrument.

You can also download the wizard from tek.com

at: http://www.tek.com/support. In the download

section, enter THS3000 and select software from

the drop-down list.

2. Unzip the driver ﬁletoauser-deﬁned folder.

3. Run the installation application to install the USB

drivers on the PC.

4. Check that the PC and oscilloscope communicate

properly. (See page 100, Conﬁrm Oscilloscope

and PC Communication.)
