An affordable way to transfer data and control your scope from a PC
Scope Connect software and the
N2861A communications module
provide a free way to transfer
data from your 3000 Series
economy oscilloscope and control
it remotely with an external
PC. Ideal for use in a lab
environment, this software gives
you the ability to simultaneously
control multiple 3000 Series
oscilloscopes from a single PC.
The software’s easy-to-use
graphical user interface (GUI)
lets you fully control the scope
from your PC with simple mouse
clicks. This software provides
the easiest way to export
data, measurements, pass/fail
information, and screen shots
for analysis or printing.
The N2861A communications
module fits easily onto the back
panel of your 3000 Series
oscilloscope.
3000 Series oscilloscope users
who wish to use the 3000 Series’
native SCPI programming
command set must use the
N2861A’s RS-232 or GPIB ports.
