Welcome to the Tektronix TDS7404B Digital Phosphor Oscilloscope Python Documentation

With this library you will be able to control your Tektronix Oscilloscope via Python. This allows for easy automation of the oscilloscope. While this project was optimised for the TDS7404B it should work with every oscilloscope of the TDS7000 and TDS7000B series as well as with every communication signal analyzer of the CSA7000 series.

Note

This library is fully based on PyVisa so please make sure to properly install PyVisa to your device before using this library.
