Interfacing the Tektonix TDS3054B with a PC

[Dyan Ali]

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!

On my TDS3034B, I found that just writing the traces to the floppy and hand
carrying it to the PC is the best way to do it. <g> The storage space on
the floppy is very small, and the picture displayed on the PC screen, or
printed out on paper is perfect.
