Data acquisition with Tektronix 492 ?
 

Hi,
it is possible to use the J104 accessory connector of my Tektronix 492, for
data acquisition on a PC or Printer ?
Thanks Alain

No; that connector is useful only for hookup of a factory test rig.
Someone was selling an outboard CPU module on eBay a few months ago that
had a GPIB port; it went for big bucks, and it was the only one I've
seen in probably 7-8 years of watching the market.

You will need to trade up to a P-suffix model for any type of data
acquisition or digital plotting.

Hi,
Ok thank you for your information. Unfortunately, I do not have the GPIB
port on my 492 (I do not have the suffix "P")
Cordially Alain

Tektronix 492 USB Interface

http://www.circuitben.net/node/4

This project adds USB connectivity to the Tek 492 without GPIB. It can download a full sweep in about 200ms. It can't read any configuration from the instrument, so it's not a real replacement for GPIB, but it would be possible to emulate the control code and duplicate the front panel controls on the computer.
