Plug-and-Play Drivers Provides support to run National Instrument’s LabVIEW
and LabWindows on an external PC connected to a
TDS5000B or on the oscilloscope itself. Instrument
drivers are version specific and might not support the
version of your software development tools
IVI Drivers Provides support for new and existing program
environments utilizing the IVI instrumentation standard,
such as LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, MATLAB, Visual
BASIC, and C/C++. Instrument drivers are version
specific and might not support the version of your
software development tools
Excel and Word Toolbars Provides direct access to screen images, waveform
data, and measurements on the oscilloscope from a
toolbar in Excel and/or Word
Report Generator Enables the ability to design and create customized
report templates that extract the oscilloscope’s
waveforms, settings, measurements, and other
on-screen information with a click of the mouse
