Hi Rod,
We have 2500 points per waveform. Our PCs are equipped with COM ports
only, no GPIB cards. One waveform is 73,5 KB to be exact. The RS232
connection speed is maximum 19200 Kb/s at maximum. For the time being I
just want to check whether the experiment went fine, no false
triggering, etc. In the future, I would like to analyze the waveforms in
matlab via CA. So this will be handy.
What is the speed of the GPIB interface on Tek scopes, anyway?

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.

It may be time to back up a step. Why not transfer the
waveforms
themselves, rather than a screen dump? There are others in the
EPICS community who have already done that for the scopes
you are using.
