TDS5034

[Kaspar]

Hello,

  The TDS 5034B is a different scope that the TDS 3054B, therefore the possibility does exist that the scopes have a different command set that will result in the vi that was intended for the 5034 scope to fail. I would suggest that you obtain the programmers manual for the 3054B and go thru the vi to verify that the commands are the same (or different) for the scope. If I had access to the 3054 scope in may lab I would check it out for you.

   If you are still having problems, I could repost the latest code for the 5034B scope so that you have a up to date starting point for getting the 3054 scope to work. Please also let me know what interface you are using on the scope. The 5034 has 2 interfaces, GPIB and ethernet, which one are you using?

I have a VI for getting a hardcopy from a Tektronix 3034B but the bmp file is a bit distorted. Can anyone help with what I am doing wrong?

Hello,

  I looked at your code you are writing the data as a text file, the screen data is binary. Try using the vi called "Visa Read to File" , this will take the data and write it to a file in one step.

I want use the command "hardcopy" to do the  screenshot.when I use the port GPIB,my VI does work, but when I use the portethernet,it doesnot work.

When i choose the ethernet,the VISA can find the TDS3014B,and the *IDN? can read the scope information.

my comand is as list

hardcopy:format bmp;

hardcopy:port gpib;

hardcopy start

the vi does work

but

when i choose

hardcopy:format bmp;

hardcopy:port ethernet;

hardcopy start

it doesnot work,why?

Hi

Why don't you ask Tektronix?
