Yes, you can use MATLAB. You can use NI-VISA with MATLAB where you can test commands for syntax or execution errors.

You can use TekScope Utility to perform long-term datalogging from a MDO34 and save data directly to a host computer. Learn more about TekScope here: https://www.tek.com/en/products/software/tekscope-pc-analysis-software

Yes, the MSO58 can capture 1 kHz, but be warned that if that is your primary goal, the MSO5 could be overkill. Probably a good idea to understand more your application and to review your equipment list to make sure the right instrument is selected.

You can setup the MSO56 to save a screenshot on an event such as a trigger. To set up Act on Event go to the trigger settings > mode & holdoff > act on trigger.

Under Measure-Reading Buffers you can select Save to USB to output data to CSV file.

I understand you are looking to capture an acquisition of approximately 30 minutes (1800 seconds) using the TBS2102. Unfortunately, this scope only supports up to 100 seconds per division, so times 15 horizontal divisions this gives you up to 1500 seconds in an acquisition.

There might be other options depending on what you are doing. Do you need raw waveform data for 1800 seconds? Or can you data-log an automated measurement (Amplitude or Frequency, for example) say once per second for the 30 minutes duration?

I understand that you're seeing that the SX won't power up after it lost power while running. Here's what you do: remove the cord/power source and let capacitors discharge. This could take sometimes more than an hour. Then power back up, and it should work. We've seen this solution work for other customers.

Looks like the Labview vi is not setting trigger to "NORM" and so goes into an untriggered roll mode.

We use SMBv2 for our network connections, so you might need to make sure it is enabled on the shared drive. That might be the issue.

Unfortunately, it looks like your scope needs to be sent in for repair. You can attempt to fix the issue by force installing the most recent firmware, but this is unlikely to help. If you want to try this, here is the link to the firmware page: https://www.tek.com/en/support/software/firmware/firmware-support-msodpo2000b-oscilloscopes-v156. To force install this firmware, create an empty file called "override.txt" on the USB flash drive in the root or topmost folder. This is to ensure the firmware installs even if the scope is currently on that version.

If force installing the firmware does not fix the issue, you can contact our service team by calling 1-800-833-9200 option 2 or by emailing rmarequest@tektronix.com.
