• RE: Unstable communication with MSO58 by NI-VISA

    Hi

    I made good experiences if I configure write-termination and read-termination characters =\n

    And it was more stable with firmware 2.0.3.

    See release notes of FW 2.0.3:
    • Disabling and re-enabling USBTMC interface via I/O menu breaks USBTMC connection on Linux
    • Oscilloscope crashes after connecting to socket server, toggling socket server off and back on, then sending *OPC? on socket server
    • On Windows 5 and 6 Series MSO, when the USB cable is hot-plugged more than once, the oscilloscope no longer communicates over
    USBTMC
  • RE: SCPI Commands to Move/Rearrange Plots on 4 Series

    Hi

    Is the rearrangement via SCPI commands possible with MSO5-Series or Tekscope-Software?
    If this is not the case: for which software release do you plan to introduce this feature?

    Hello

    I found a solution.

    You need to install NI VISA in parallel and then you have to add a new network interface in VISA-cosmos.

    Attached you will find my solution.

    Best regards
