WaveStar for Oscilloscopes
The AD007 adapter together with the optional WaveStar for
Oscilloscopes software provides a complete solution for users with
Tektronix TDS Series oscilloscopes with GPIB interfaces. The
software provides a powerful, easy-to-use interface for controlling
instruments, displaying data and waveforms, and sending print jobs
to any local or network printer. See System Requirements on page 3
for information on what systems can run WaveStar for Oscilloscopes.
A free 30-day demo of WaveStar for Oscilloscopes is included on the
Tektronix Software Solutions installation CD.
Tektronix VISA and VISA Configuration Utility
The Virtual Instrument Software Architecture (VISA) standard,
developed by the VXIplug&play Systems Alliance, provides a
common Input/Output (I/O) library for software developers so that
software from different vendors can run on the same platform.
Except for direct GPIB-to-network printing, all applications that
communicate over the network to the AD007 adapter must use the
Tektronix version of VISA (TekVISA). See the AD007 section in the
Tektronix Software Solutions Installation manual (Tektronix part
number 071--1140--01) for instructions on loading TekVISA on
your PC.
The TekVISA software includes a utility to help you configure the
Virtual Instrument Software Architecture (VISA) resources. The
TekVISA Resource Manager Configuration utility allows you to add
or remove remote hosts (such as one or more AD007 adapters). For
more information about using the configuration utility, see page 30.
