Connecting Via Usb - Tektronix MSO2024B Programmer's Manual

Connecting via USB

MSO2000B, DPO2000B, MSO2000 and DPO2000 Series Oscilloscopes Programmer Manual
To view or change the Ethernet settings on your oscilloscope, do the following:
1. On the front panel, push Utility.
2. Push Utility Page.
3. Select I/O with the Multipurpose knob.
4. Push Ethernet Network Settings.
5. If you are on a DHCP Ethernet network and using a through cable, on the
side menu set DHCP/BOOTP to On.
6. If you are using a cross-over cable, set DHCP/BOOTP to Off, and set a
hard-coded TCPIP address.
You can connect your oscilloscope directly to a PC by using a high-speed USB
cable, and then use software to remotely control the oscilloscope via the PC.
Simply plug one end of the cable into the USB 2.0 high-speed device port on
the rear panel of your oscilloscope, and the other end into a USB port on your
computer.
This port requires that the cable connected from the port to the host computer
meets the USB 2.0 specification for high speed connections. Typically, such
cables should be 3 feet or shorter in length, but this is determined by the quality of
the cable and, with higher quality cables, this length can be extended. (It is also
dependent upon the drive capability of the host USB port to which the instrument
is connected.) The use of high quality short cables is recommended to avoid USB
connection problems.
Once the USB cable is connected, the system automatically configures itself. To
verify that the USB is enabled:
1. On the front panel, push Utility.
2. Push Utility Page.
3. Select I/O with the Multipurpose knob.
4. Push USB, and verify that USB is enabled.
5. If USB is not enabled, push Enabled on the side menu.
After connection, the host, with appropriate software, can list the oscilloscope as a
USB device with the following parameters: (See Table 1-2.)
