Query for Tektronix 2430a users

[JB]

Is there an older version of the Tektronix 'Wavestar' software which
supports this scope over GPIB? If so, what version and does anyone have a
copy for sale?
I've spoken (at length) to Tek(UK) and apart from wanting to sell me a copy
of the current Wavestar (which does not support the 2430a!), they've not
been much help so far.
I don't want to have to buy Labview just to talk to a scope and capture data
and traces to the PC.
Thanks in advance,
JB

I've got decent support for the 2430A in my 7470.exe utility. It's
actually the DSO model I use on my own bench. See:

Many thanks indeed. A *superb* little utility. Wish I had a GPIB-capable

465B too now.

JB
