Title: TDS380 Screen Capture/GPIB
Post by: daveyk on May 24, 2017, 03:28:20 am

Wavestar 3.0 does not appear to support the TDS380.  Older versions may have but I could barely find the last version 3.0.

OpenChoice Desktop which I use with my TDS3032 does not support the TDS380.

Does anyone have screen shot software for the TDS380 or an older version of Wavestar that would support it?

As far as controlling the instrument, the command set looks very close to the TDS3000 series. Little changes may be needed.

See my reply to rx8pilot here (https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/screen-grabs-on-tds-series-scope-over-gpib/msg1216215/#msg1216215).  I don't know if my quick-and-dirty freeware app can grab a plot from a TDS300-series -- my guess is not -- but the other program I mentioned (PrintCapture) probably can.  Only drawback is it's not free.
