Re: Tekronix and R&S drivers

Andrew,

The TDS3000 support does not support the digital channels of MSO4000 
series, but may work with the analog inputs with some minor changes to 
the device support. The TDS3000 also includes the TDS5000 series, so you 
can use that as a template to develop the analog side of the MSO4000 
scopes. It looks like the MSO4000 follows most of the basic commands 
used in both the 3000/5000 series. The digital inputs I'm sure can be 
implemented, but you may want to create a whole new support for MSO4000 
series, which the TDS3000 support would be a good starting point.

I'm also interested in support for the Rhode&Schwarz ZVL Network analyzer. How generic are the commands that Tektronix, for instance, uses? Has someone written a base class with the common commands supported?
