Tektronix saved data Desktop Viewer

Hi thank you for your answers

With OpenOffice i need to crate graph manually and he does not have any zoom or pan fonctionnality, OpenChoice Desktop have the same problem no zoom, no pan or scale change, only screenshots

I try NI SignalExpress after 2.5gig of software it's not detect any device.

I try GNU Octave but with windows y not find how to open the gui for select my file

Is there a user frendly software with the same functionality as on the oscilloscope, like zoom, pan, scale change, Measure etc

Hi Pascal,

Ordinarily you'll want to set your scope up so that you can see the part of the waveform that you're interested in, and you can adjust to view the desired portion and then capture a screenshot if you want. GNU Octave will allow you to plot any portion of the data, but there is no GUI - it is command line based. It is also useful for many other tasks, so spending some time experimenting with GNU Octave is not time wasted. The steps to use it are listed at the web link earlier. It is possible to write your own software with GUI but GNU octave is convenient.

For me, most of the time (95%) OpenChoice Desktop gets used and is sufficient.

If you're looking at digital data stream (e.g. I2C) that may not be repetitive and hard to capture in a single shot visible on the screen, then there is some difficulty, because the serial bus analysis tools are resident on the scope, not on desktop software as I understand. (There might be a table view of the bytes - worth checking your scope. There is such a view on the Tektronix MSO series). However it is possible to use the Open Bench Logic Sniffer client software to replay your logic capture (information is at the same web link) although some initial effort is needed to convert the file into the OBLS format (I wrote a simple program to do this - again attached at the same URL). It may need some adjustments to work for your scope, it's only been tested on one model.
