Re: Tek 4041 GPIB Controller


 

Tony,

Does your 2465 include the GPIB option connector?

If not - I don't think you can connect that scope to anything externally - controller or printer.

I do see in the 2445/2465 Option 10 GPIB manual - control programs for the Tektronix 4051/4052/4054 and Tektronix 4041 to change settings on the 2465 with Option 10.

But I don't think the 2465 can digitally capture the analog inputs. It looks like the GPIB can only be used for all the front panel settings.

I think you need a DSO in order to capture the inputs in digital form - and those scopes may have printer output capability.

The 4041 thermal printer cannot be used with any other equipment - there is a board inside the 4041 that drives the printer for 20 column text output - not graphics.

The 4041 GPIB Programming Guide has an example of printing the output on a 4025 terminal, or a 4662 plotter, but not on the internal printer.
