Oscilloscope Software: Discover Advanced Analysis Solutions
Get more out of your Tektronix oscilloscope by downloading one of our many oscilloscope software solutions and applications. Add oscilloscope capabilities to your PC, remotely manage and control your oscilloscope unit, and expand the capabilities of the instruments on your bench with free and premium Tektronix oscilloscope software.
Turn your PC into an oscilloscope with TekScopeTM
With TekScope PC Analysis Software, you can analyze waveforms anytime from anywhere by turning your PC into an oscilloscope. The basic license lets you view and analyze waveforms, perform many types of measurements and decode the most common serial buses. Premium options are available for more advanced capabilities like multi-scope analysis, bus decoding, power analysis, jitter analysis and more.
Features:
- Perform basic instrument control, waveform transfer and real-time analysis with TBS1000C and TBS2000B Series oscilloscopes
- Decode common serial protocols, including: I2C, SPI, RS-232/422/485/UART, CAN, CAN-FD, LIN
- Supports most waveform files (.wfm, .isf, .csv, .h5, .tr0, .trc, and .bin)
Share data across teams with TekDrive
TekDrive is a collaborative test and measurement workspace wherein users can upload, store, organize, search, download, and share files from any connected device. Because TekDrive is natively integrated into many oscilloscope models, users can seamlessly and securely share files without a USB flash drive.
Features:
- Analyze and explore standard files such as *.wfm, *.isf, *.tss, and *.csv in your browser
- Transform and filter data in real time using inline math
- REST API enables integration with any connected device or software application
