here are two ways: a) You need a console Adapter like this: http://www1.tek.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=5526&p=10588&hilit=pitbull#p10588 Interesting commands on my TDS7xx scopes: libManagerWordAtPut(0x50006, 1) <- Enable option 1M libManagerWordAtPut(0x50007, 1) <- Enable option 05 libManagerWordAtPut(0x50008, 1) <- Enable option 13 libManagerWordAtPut(0x50009, 1) <- Enable option 2F libManagerWordAtPut(0x5000a, 1) <- Enable option 1F libManagerWordAtPut(0x5000c, 1) <- Enable option 2C libManagerWordAtPut(0x5000d, 1) <- Enable option 3C libManagerWordAtPut(0x5000e, 1) <- Enable option 4C libManagerWordAtPut(0x5000f, 1) <- Enable option 2M b) Use a GPIB Adapter I don't remember the exact syntax, but it should be: PASSWORD "PITBULL" WORDCONSTANT:ATPUT 327686,1 Where the decimal number (327686 in that case) is the same number as in the console-port-example above, just in decimal. Note that you have to set the flash write protection switch to unlock to write those settings.
