Hello people,
I need to interface my Tektronix TDS3054B with my PC so that i can
obtain the data from the screen to my PC. I don't need anything fancy
- i just need the information from the 4 channels, that's all. I have
only the standard parallel port that comes with the TDS... where do i
start? Do i need to purchase an additional Serail Port add on?
Thanks in advance!

Easiest way with TDS30xxB: Use Ethernet port to connect to PC.
Obtain Excel plug-in controls from Tektronix.

So does this mean i can't use the parallel port? I guess so because it
is just a printer port, right?

Thanks! I just found out the TDS3054B has a built in Ethernet port...
that should work with a little bit of effort , i guess... sorry for
the trouble!
