Linking oscilloscope to computer

[Johnson95]

Hi, I'm using RTO 1002 Oscilloscope. I'm suppose to link up the Oscilloscope with my CPU using LABView platform. I've downloaded the driver from http://cdn.rohde-schwarz.com/pws/dl_downloads/dl_driver/rsscope/rsscope-lv_2300.zip . Does anyone have any idea? Help would be appreciated. Thanks.

What sort of physical connection does the scope have? The driver on the NI page lists support for GPIB, Ethernet, or USB. Given a choice, I would use Ethernet and connect to a second, dedicated NIC on the pc.

I'm using USB as a connection of the oscilloscope to my PC.

You need to have NI-VISA installed. It will also install Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX). The instrument should be listed there. I haven't looked at the driver so I don't know what type it is. See of it comes with an example.

I believe I already have NI-VISA installed, how do I link the Oscilloscope up with my PC?

[Dennis_Knutson]

Plug it in?

What, if anything, have you done? Did you check in MAX, if it is listed. Have you looked for an example program in the driver?

[Johnson95]

Where do I find MAX?

If you actually installed NI-VISA, Measurement and Automation Explorer will be on your desktop.

Is there a specific version of NI-VISA for rohde & schwarz RTO1002?

Hi Johnson,

over USB you should see your scope in Windows Device manager as USB-TMC device. Is that the case?
