DAQ via Ethernet Connection

[bbentelin]

I'm trying to utilize a Tektronix MSO 5204 ocilloscope in an analogous manner to a NI DAQ crate (previously working with the PXI-1000B crate with PXI-5122 card).  I have the computer and scope hooked up through an ethernet connection and had MAX recognizes the scope...all that remains is the DAQ programming.

Attached I have the vi I generally work with - is there a way in which to modify the DAQ initialization section so that LabVIEW takes data from the scope?

Thanks,

Ben

You have no DAQ programming in that VI. You have NI-Scope and that is a different beast than NI DAQ cards.

If you had used the IVI scope class drivers, you could have switched out instruments will very little fuss. Since you did not and since the NI-Scope functions will only communicate with an NI Scope card, you would have to replace each and every function with either Tek 5204 driver functions or the IVI Scope class functions.
