Is there an equivalent first part program like Benchvue, but for Tek scopes? I'm going to be outfitting a lab and I'm a bit agnostic of the brand as long as they can do what I need. One thing that's going to be critical is the ease of automating tasks. With Benchvue you can do it quick and easy with a first party tool but also accomplish the same with some Python scripts.
I can see some Python examples for Tek on Youtube and Github, but not immediately seeing an out-of-the-box tool

There is the SignalVu thing, not sure how close to what you need though.

For basic functionality with the non-Windows-based scopes, there is the free OpenChoice (https://www.tek.com/oscilloscope/tds210-software/tektronix-openchoice-desktop-application-tdspcs1-v26) software. Though it doesn't seem to be maintained much (last update 2016, supports Windows 7 and 8.1).

I'm not terrible familiar with the Tek scope software, but there's TekSmartLab which is specifically for managing labs (https://www.tek.com/teksmartlab (https://www.tek.com/teksmartlab)). TekBench is I think the closest equivalent to BenchVue though (https://www.tek.com/tekbench (https://www.tek.com/tekbench)). SignalVu is for RF analysis, so probably not what you're looking for (https://www.tek.com/product-software-series/signalvu-pc (https://www.tek.com/product-software-series/signalvu-pc)).
