Multi-channel data acquisition via GPIB using a digital...

Multi-channel data acquisition via GPIB using a digital oscilloscope

(Tektronics TDS3034) and LabVIEW 6.1

Dear all,

I am using LabVIEW 6.1 in combination with a PCI-GPIB card to acquire

signal waveforms via a digital oscilloscope (Tektronics TDS3034).

For all operations I am using the basic GPIB commands to communicate

with the scope and not the instrument driver VI's !

Until now, I had to acquire input signal waveforms from only one

channel. I did that by initializing the scope once using the basic

GPIB commands in a sequence structure. After that, I read the data

into an 1D array in the LabVIEW program.

Now, I have to extend my the program to handel multi-channel waveforms

which are acquired by the scope.

What is the best way to handle the multi-channel signal waveforms, and

their associated channel setting parameters in my LabVIEW program

(preferring to use only basic GPIB commands)?

It would be very nice if somebody could help me with this and give me

some suggestions (may be somebody did such a thing before).

Best regards,

Beam
