ScopeWFM
This program imports waveforms from a selected number of old Tektronix DSO's. It presents the waveform on the PC screen and can print the graticule window or save the data into a csv-file to be imported into MS Excel. The current version supports 7D20, 223x and 24xx/A but hopefully, if inspiration persists and time allows, it will eventually also do scopes like TDS2x0, THS7x0/A
Connections between scope and PC are done via GPIB or RS232 (not yet) where applicable.
Future plans: Include more scopes and support for RS232 and possibly also supply an MS Excel Template with macros to create a waveform chart.
October 9, 2006 - New version 1.2.0
Changes from 1.1.0 to 1.2.0:
BugFixes:
Not all labels cleared when channel was changed
Incorrect Vertical Center value if > 5V
7D20: Incorrect Vertical Center value for channels other than CH1
Incorrect Trig Position value for MEM3 and up
New:
Support for more 22xx scopes
Support for 24xx/A scopes
Added one label for GND position
Added dialogbox for Initialize Scope
Save/Hold waveform before transfer
More internal changes
Known issues: Printing doesn't work on all printers. Have no idea what the problem is, VB says it should work. On my HP LaserJet 4000 it works fine but not on a HP LaserJet 4M.
Changes from 1.0.0 to 1.1.0:
Several internal changes invisible to the user but
which will make it easier to add scopes.
Minor changes in appearance i.e. some text.
2230 and 2232 now supported via GPIB.
Menu item "Utilities/Initialize Scope" added.
Version 1.0.0
Initial version.
Here's a screen shot.
Operation is pretty much obvious so further explanation is not needed.
You must have a NI GPIB card with the proper drivers installed. Find and download National Instruments GPIB card drivers here.
I have so far only tried it on win 98 with the old PC II/IIA but presumably it will work on any PC/win OS (not 3.1) with a correctly installed and working NI card. VB6 runtime modules are included in the setup.
