Programming Examples
The example programs illustrate methods you can use to control the logic scope
from the GPIB interface. The disks that come with this manual contain listings
for these programs written in Microsoft QuickC 2.5.
The programs run on a PC-compatible system equipped with a Tektronix
(National Instruments) GPIB board and associated drivers. For example, the
programs will work with a Tektronix S3FG210 (National Instruments GPIB-
PCII/IIA) GPIB package. (See Figure 4–1.)

Figure 4–1: Equipment Needed to Run the Example Programs
All example programs assume that the GPIB system recognizes the logic scope
as DEV1 and the PC (controller) as GPIB0. You can use the IBCONF.EXE
program to assign these names.
The example software includes the following programs:
H MEAS — measures waveform parameters from a logic scope.
H COMM — shows communication between a controller and a logic scope.
H GETGRP — reads a waveform from a logic scope and stores it in a file.
