Read data from oscilloscope to computer via a RS232 cable

[Max999]

Hi everyone,

I am trying to read voltage values from an oscilloscope (ATTEN ADS1102C) to my PC via RS232-RS232 cable, and then use labview to process and save the data. I am wondering if someone has similar experience? Thanks!

Hello Max, 

I've no experience with that device but usually is not a very complicated Process. 

Are you that is possible to use the serial port to communicate with it? Sometimes the purpose of the connector can be firmware upgrade. If it's possible do you have a  manual to read about the protocol?

There doesn't seems to be a programmer manual. You can contact the manufacturer to see if it actually exist or if you have their EasyScope utility installed use it with NI I/O Trace to capture the commands.

I've never given much thought to reverse-engineering a communications protocol.  Very awesome.
