Programming Tektronix 7854 over GPIB

Jul 04, 2006 1 Replies

I recently bought a Tektronix 7854 oscilloscope, and I am interested in transferring waveforms over the GPIB so that I can save them on my PC.


Tektronix has a few examples in their literature, but most involve communicating with a TEK 4050 which I don't have.



I am using a CEC (Capital Equipment Corporation) CEC488 card, so I would like to do all programming using the library functions that came with the card.



I have some flexibility regarding the programming language, and have access to Delphi, QuickBasic, and Turbo C.


Any help would be appreciated.
