Transfer files from scope to PC via GPIB

I want to transfer my hard-copy files from scope to my PC via GPIB link. I am using TDS684B. Is there any possible way. Thanks.

In terms of saving the data, forget that it's coming from a particular instrument (at this point that's an unnecessary bit of detail). There are just so many things you can do with data that comes into LV. You can plot it, analyze it, save it to disk, or print it out.
Save it however you, or your customer, wants to save it. There's nothing special with this data.

  • How to transfer file from PC to PC via serial port using labview

    I need to transfer files(.txt, .doc, .xls) from PC to PC via serial port using LabVIEW. Is it possible to transfer files, if so how to transfer?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Yes, it is possible to transfer files with the serial port using LabVIEW.  Files are just collections of bytes and the serial port is pretty good at shipping bytes from one PC to another.  You need to connect the serial ports together with a null modem cable.
    First, take a look at the example for serial communication.   In LabVIEW, go to the Help menu and select "Find Examples...".  From there you can search for "serial" or navigate to Hardware Input and Output >> Serial.  Select the "Basic Serial Write and Read.vi".  Experiment with that example to gain confidence on the serial communication methods.
    Next, it's time to learn about how to read and write files.  For that, the examples could be somewhat confusing since they all deal with files that are presumed to have data of a specific type in them.  I would recommend just getting familiar with the functions on the File I/O palette.  Specifically, get to know the following functions.
    Open/Create/Replace File - On your destination side, you'll need to create the copy of the file that you are trying to transfer
    Close File - When you are finished reading from or writing to a file, you should close it.  It cleans up the memory being used and finalizes any write operations that are still floating in the write buffer.
    Read From Binary File - The best way to read from a file when you do not really care what type of file it is.  In your case, you just want to get those bytes read and sent out so they can be written down at the destination.
    Write to Binary File - At the destination side, this is what will store those bytes to the file you created with number 1.
    Get File Size (under the Advanced File Functions sub-palette) - You need to know how big the file is so you know when you are finished.
    OK, so once you are able to create files, write bytes to them, and read bytes from existing files you can move on to transferring.
    The basic method I would suggest is to have the user specify a source file on the source PC and a destination folder on the destination PC.  Then, find out the size of the source file using number 5.  Divide that size number by the number of bytes you feel like transferring at once.  The serial buffers are usually around 32k (if I remember correctly) so do not exceed that.  Now begin sending data by reading some number of bytes and wiring that string output to the VISA Write function.  On the destination side, you'll want to be monitoring the serial port for bytes and reading them when they arrive.  Wire that string to the Write to Binary File function to add them to your destination file.
    That is the basic outline of how to do it.  You have to be careful not to overload the write and read buffers on the serial ports.  Initially you can use delays on the sending side to make sure the reading side has enough time to digest.  To get things moving faster, you can bring in some flow control.
    If all that sounds a bit intimidating, there are Alliance Member companies out there (such as PrimeTest Automation) who can write such code for you and even provide a turnkey solution for you.

  • Can't transfer files from imac to intel imac via ethernet sockets

    I recently bought the fab new imac intel and wanted to transfer files from my old imac 350 via the ethernet sockets as the old imac doesn't have firewire. I did this using instructions from an apple doc. which allowed me to simply drag files from the hard disk icon of my old imac, to the hard disk icon of the imac intel.
    I now want to transfer some more files but the set-up just doesn't work. When I try to connect to the old imac the afp tries to find the IP but doesn't connect. Sometimes I get a message saying, 'the files you want are on this server' meaning the new intel imac, but of course they are not. I've tried all kinds of things but can't find the problem.
    Geoff

    If the ip addresses are beginning with 169 that means they are self assigned ip addresses.
    I suggest you goto each mac and create a new network location.
    Then setup one mac as follows
    systempreferences-->network-->show built-in ethernet-->TCP/IP
    configure ipv4 manually
    ip address 10.0.0.1
    subnet 255.255.255.0
    on the other mac do the same but make the ip address
    10.0.0.2
    press apply now.
    Now when you connect to server use the ip address 10.0.0.1 or 10.0.0.2 respectively.

    the Wifi storage options are interesting but it seems they only allow to read files from the device on the iPad but not transfer files to the storage device via WiFi.
    I'm looking for a possibility to use the iPad for photography while traveling, without the access to a computer.
    Shooting photo's in RAW format crates pretty big files that will fill up the iPad's memory pretty fast if you shoot a lot during a (let's say) month long trip.
    my idea was to use load the photo's to the iPad so i could view them and sort out any bad ones. then copy them over to the storage device so i can continue using my CF cards for shooting. I have an image thank for copying the photo's directly to the HDD but it would be so sweet to be able to check them on the iPad before hand.
    any suggestions?

    Check out pogo plug device, it allows you to upload camera roll via wifi.

  • I want to transfer files from a Win XP PC to a Mac using Time Capsule via Ethernet connection.  Is this possible?

    I want to transfer files from a Win XP PC to a Mac using Time Capsule via Ethernet connection.  Is this possible?

    Sure.. the PC connects by SMB.. the Mac connects by AFP or SMB..
    But you can simply share SMB directly from the Mac.. there is no need to copy files through the TC. Go to system preference, sharing, and turn on SMB for the folder you want to share files to / from on the Mac.
    Make sure you have a common username and password also helps.
    If you have a TC already can you copy files to it via the windows machine??

  • How can I transfer files from one external HD (WD My Passport) to another external HD (Seagate Backup Plus)?  WD drive was improperly ejected and Finder no longer recognizes it.  Tried fixing with Disk Utility but failed.

    How can I transfer files from one external HD (WD My Passport 2T) to another external HD (Seagate Backup Plus 2T)?  WD drive was improperly ejected (although we did tell it to eject) and now Finder no longer recognizes it.   Using MacBook Pro and I just upgraded to Yosemite before this happened. Was told at Apple Store to use Disk Utility to repartition, but it failed.  It says to backup files and restore.  But how do I backup files?  Or would appreciate any other suggestions to repair drive.

    You may drag & drop between external hds. 
    Should you run into trouble.
    Take the exernal drive appart.  Take out the harddrive.  Try reading the data via a usb adapter. Put a household finan on the hd.

  • Can't transfer files from PC to BB 8800 microSD card

    I have a BBerry 8800.  As part of trying to resolve the problem described below, I have recently upgraded the OS to v4.5.0.81 (Platform 2.7.0.78)  (Rogers network version).
    I recently purchased a 2GB microSD card for this Blackberry.  The BB seems to recognize the card (when I go to Options/Media Card it shows 1.8GB total space and 1.8GB free space).  As per other posts here, I have set the other options in this area to:
    Media Card Support = ON
    Encryption Mode = None
    Mass Storage Mode Support = ON
    Auto Enable Mass Storage Mode When Connected = YES
    However, I cannot seem to transfer files from my PC.
    The BB does not appear as a "device with removeable storage" in Windows Explorer.  Nor does it seem to appear in the Roxio Media Manager - in the devices area it only shows BB internal memory.
    Does anybody have any suggestions on what might be the problem?
    Thanks in advance.

    Here is a bit more info that I have been able to confirm.  Perhaps this will help someone identify a solution to my problems:
    1.  I was able to get my home PC (Windows Vista) to see the Blackberry as a removeable storage device.  This is with:
    Mass Storage Mode Support = ON (and the latest USB drivers)
    and I was then able to transfer files to the BB as needed.
    2.  However, my work PC (XP Professional) still cannot see the BB (either through Win Explorer OR through Media Manager).  However, if I set Mass Storage Mode Support = OFF, then Media Manager sees the Media Card and I can transfer files via this mechanism.
    Any further thoughts on what might be going on?

  • Can't transfer files from old macbook to new retina?

    Hello, I am well aware that the macbook pro retina does not have a firewire 800 port, but rather thunderbolt. Unfortunately I didn't know of this when I asked an apple employee about how to transfer files from my old broken macbook pro (leopard) to the new retina I bought. He only told me to get a firewire 800 wire. So now I have the firewire 800 cable but I cannot connect it to a my macbook pro retina. Is there any way I could transfer files from my broken mac to this one? To be more accurate: my broken macbook pro is just that the screen is broken, otherwise I would just transfer the files by usb; but since you cannot access the computer at all except for turning it on I am unable to do this.
    I do have an alternative theory, if anyone thinks it could work please let me know. My mother has a mac desktop, with a firewire 800 port. Could I transfer my files onto her computer and then transfer those via usb to the new macbook retina? Or is there a way to connect the old broken macbook to the new one? I apologize if I sound very confusing right now, it's just that I finally got my new computer and I cannot transfer my files onto it. Thank you for your help.

    I used wifi to transfer two users and system preferences during setup, since that was a relatively small amount of data.  To transfer my main account (40Gb or so), I turned off wifi on my old laptop, ran an ethernet cable to the ethernet-thunderbolt adapter to mbp-r, ran migration assistant on both - worked fine.  I didn't feel like waiting for the firewire adapter.
