Panel operation
1. Connect the USB cable to the
USB device port on the rear.
2. When the PC asks for the USB driver or
‘Unknown device’ listed in Device Manager,
install TEXIO_CDC.inf attached CD.
3. On the PC, activate a terminal application such
as PuTTY. To check the COM port No., see the
Device Manager in the PC.
4. Run this query command via the terminal
application.
*idn?
This command should return the manufacturer,
model number, serial number, and firmware
version in the following format.
TEXIO, DCS-75XXA, XXXXXXX, V1.00
5. Configuring the command interface is completed.
Refer to the other chapters for more details.
CAUTION:
If there is no response, please confirm a device
driver, COM port number or the connection of the
cable and so on.
CAUTION:
If you change the setting of the USB port in the
connection with the PC, May not be able to
communicate. Please restart your PC in this case.

Channel1/2
CAUTION:
Please note that the number of points is limited to
4000 when the scope is running.
You can get the full memory depth when the
“Single” key is pressed with a triggered signal.
You can also get the full memory depth when the
“STOP” key is pressed,
However, the long memory may not fully fill up if a
slow time base is used with a fast sample rate
Also note that there are several time base settings
that don’t result in 100% of available memory, due
to a limited number of available sample rates.
Example
:acquire1:lmemory?
Returns the channel 1
long memory waveform
data
If both channels are
active up to 1M points
are returned. If only CH1
is active then up to 2M
points are returned.
Data format
Six data elements are concatenated to form one
data string.

A: Data size digit
B: Data size
C: Time interval
D: Channel indicator
E: Reserved data

Time interval (4 bytes)
Indicates the time interval between two adjacent
sampling points in the floating point format,
compatible with IEEE 754 standards.
Note: The data is sorted in the little-endian format.

Parameter
<NR1>
Trigger state

Un-triggered
1 Triggered
CAUTION:
This function is designed for triggering with slow
time-bases or for single shot events. This query will
return 0 before the trigger point and 1 after a trigger
point (if any).
However with quicker time-bases in auto mode, a
periodic waveform is constantly re-sampled and
thus re-triggered each time, resulting in the query
returning 0 before each trigger. Therefore with
quicker time bases, this will usually result in 0 being
returned, even if the waveform is shown as
triggered.
Example
:trigger:state?
0
Returns the current trigger
state as un-triggered.
