Tektronix TDS3000&TDS3000B series oscilloscope program examples ver3.0

DESCRIPTION

This diskette contains RS232 example code and programs.  The RS232 examples
allows the user to select the COM1 or COM2 port.  At the same time, 
the examples assume that baud rate = 9600, Flagging = NONE, and EOL = CR/LF.
These example incudes:

*	MEAS:	measures a parameter of an oscilloscope waveform
*	COMM:	shows communication between the personal computer and the 
		oscilloscope.
*	GetWfm:	reads a waveform from an oscilloscope and stores its time
		and voltage in a file.
*	TL:	a talker-listener program.


COMPILING AND LINKING YOUR EXAMPLE VISUAL BASIC PROGRAMS:

1)	Install Visual Basic 6.0

2)	Install the Tektronix S3FG220 or (National Instruments AT-GPIB/TNT) GPIB 
	board and drivers.  Remember to identify the GPIB device and to reboot 
	your PC, to initialize the GPIB drivers

3)	Copy the files from the Example diskette to your hard disk.  For example,
	if the current drive is hard disk C, you want to store the examples in 
	drive C, and the example diskette in in drive B:
	
	*	Invoke the Microsoft Explore program
	*	Drag the b:\RS232\V-BASIC6\sources folder into the C drive
	
4)	Compile and run the source code:
	
	*	Open the SOURCES folder
	*	Find the "project" you are interested in.
	*	Open the project folder.
	*	Double click the filename.vbp within the project folder.  This
		will invoke Visual Basic and also the project.
	*	Press on the Start button from Visual Basic's menu.  This will
		compile and run your program.
