There are several approaches you can take to work remotely with Tektronix oscilloscopes. The available techniques differ somewhat between instruments that run the Windows operating system and instruments that do not. This guide is designed to help you interface with your oscilloscope without needing to physically interact with the instrument after the initial setup. This document applies to most Tektronix oscilloscopes that do not have a PC operating system installed. Oscilloscopes that run the Windows operating system offer different alternatives for working remotely. The Technical Brief “Working Remotely with Tektronix Oscilloscopes Running the Windows Operating System” offers information on interfacing with Windows oscilloscopes.
