Pavel:

Every Tektronix scope I've set up communications with had a 500 point waveform (as well as some substantially larger ones). Presently, I'm acquiring those at 10 waveforms per second (over GPIB). Are you sure that would not suffice for you? Is GPIB an option? Much much faster.

Mark,

A waveform weighs 70kB. 4 waveforms = 280 kB. 280 vs 40. I would have to
wait a couple of minutes till the data is processed. 10-15 seconds for
the screen dmp.

   EPICS community who have already done that for the scopes you are using.
