To change the GP
IB address settings, do the following:
1. On the front panel, push Utility.
2. Push Utility Page.
3. Select I/O with the Multipurpose knob.
4. Push GPIB.
5. Enter the GPIB address on the side menu, using the multipurpose knob. This
will set the GPIB address on an attached TEK-USB-488 Adapter.
The oscilloscope is now set up for bidirectional communication with your
controller.
Setting Up Remote Communications Software
Connect your oscilloscope directly to a computer to let the PC analyze your data,
collect screen images, or to control the oscilloscope using a program of your own
creation. Three ways to connect your oscilloscope to a computer are throughthe
VISA drivers, the e*Scope Web-enabled tools, or via a socket server.
Using
VISA
VISA lets you use your MS-Windows computer to acquire data from your
oscilloscope for use in an analysis package that runs on your PC, such as
Microsoft Excel, National Instruments LabVIEW, Tektronix OpenChoice Desktop
soft
ware, or your own custom software. You can use a common communications
connection, such as USB, Ethernet, or GPIB, to connect the computer to the
oscilloscope.
To set up VISA communications between your oscilloscope and a computer:

Getting Started
1. Load the VISA dr
ivers on your computer. Also, load your application, such
as OpenChoice Desktop. You will find the drivers and OpenChoice Desktop
software on the appropriate CD that comes with your oscilloscope or at the
Tektronix software finder Web page (www.tektronix.com\downloads).
2. Connect the oscilloscope to your computer with the appropriate USB or
Ethernet cable. To communicate between the oscilloscope and a GPIB system,
connect the oscilloscope to the TEK-USB-488 GPIB-to-USB Adapter with
a USB cable. Then connect the adapter to your GPIB system with a GPIB
cable. Cyc
le the power on the oscilloscope.
3. Push Utility.
4. Push Utility Page.
5. Turn multipurpose knob a and select I/O.
6. If you are using USB, the system sets itself up automatically for you, if USB is
enabled. Check USB on the lower menu to be sure that USB is enabled. If it is
not enabled, push USB. Then push Connect to Computer on the side menu.
7. To use Ethernet, push Ethernet & LXI on the lower menu. Use the side menu
buttons to adjust your network settings, as needed. For more information, see
the e*Scope setup information below.
8. If you want to change socket server parameters, push Socket Server and enter
new values through the resulting side menu.
9. If you are using GPIB, push GPIB. Enter the GPIB address on the side menu,
using multipurpose knob a. This will set the GPIB address on an attached
TEK
-USB-488 Adapter.
10. Run your application software on your computer.
Qu
ick Tips
Your oscilloscope shipped with a CD containing a variety of Windows-based
software tools for efficient connectivity between your oscilloscope and your
computer. These include toolbars that speed connectivity with Microsoft
E
xcel and Word. There are also two standalone acquisition programs called
NI LabVIEW SignalExpress™, Tektronix Edition and Tektronix OpenChoice
Desktop.
The rear-panel USB 2.0 high-speed (HS) device port is the correct USB port
for computer connectivity. Use the rear- and front-panel USB 2.0 host ports
to connect your oscilloscope to USB flash drives, hard drives, printers and
keyboards. Use the USB Device port to connect your oscilloscope to a PC or
a PictBridge printer.

Getting Started
Using th e LXI Web Page
and e*Scope
With e*Scope, y
ou can access any Internet-connected MSO/DPO4000B,
MDO4000/B/C or MDO3000 Series oscilloscope from a web browser. To set up
e*Scope communications between your oscilloscope and a Web browser running
on a remote computer:
1. Connect the oscilloscope to your computer network with an appropriate
Ethernet cable.
2. Push Utility.
3. Push Utility Page.
4. Turn multipurpose knob a and select I/O.
5. Push Ethernet & LXI.
6. On top of the side menu, there is an indicator light which turns green for
good status and red if the device detects a fault. Look at it to determine the
condition of the LAN.
7. Push LAN Settings to display the network parameters configured on your
oscilloscope.
8. Push LAN Reset to restore the LAN defaults to your oscilloscope.
9. Push Test Connection to check if your oscilloscope can find an attached
network.
10. Push More to see another page of side-menu items.
11. Push Change Names to change the name of the oscilloscope, the network
domain, or the service name.
12. Push Change Ethernet & LXI Password to use the LXI password to also
protect your oscilloscope from changes made to LAN settings from a Web
browser.
13. Start your browser on your remote computer. In the browser address line,
enter the host name, a dot, and the domain name together. Alternatively, just
enter the IP address of the instrument. Either way, you should then see the
LXI Welcome page on your Web browser on your computer screen.
14. Click “Network Configuration” to view and edit the network configuration
settings. If you are using a password and changing your settings, you need to
know that the default user name is “lxiuser”.
15. For e*Scope, click the Instrument Control (e*Scope) link on the left side of
the LXI Welcome page. You should then see a new tab (or window) open in
your browser with e*Scope running.
Using a Socket Server
A socket server provides two-way communication over an Internet Protocol-based
computer network. You can use your oscilloscope’s socket server feature tolet
your oscilloscope talk to a remote-terminal device or computer.
