Increase Your Productivity with the Industry's Most Seamless Instrument-to-PC Connectivity Solution

Configuring test instruments to connect with PC-based software is often a difficult and frustrating challenge. That's why Tektronix and National Instruments have partnered together to create NI LabVIEW SignalExpress Tektronix Edition (TE) – interactive measurement and analysis software designed for design and test engineers who need to quickly acquire, analyze and document measurements without the added complication of programming.

With USB plug-and-play support, NI LabVIEW SignalExpress TE immediately detects and configures Tektronix instruments when connected to a PC*¹, providing a live view of the data acquisition and immediate control of the oscilloscope.

Integrate measurements with simulated results from popular design software tools such as PSpice, SPICE, and Multisim. This enables quick and easy importing and comparing of simulated results – saving time and improving design accuracy.

Quickly capture and document measurements by simply dragging-and-dropping acquired data and waveform captures directly into Microsoft Excel, Word, Outlook, PowerPoint, and WordPad. Or annotate waveforms and measurements in the interactive project documentation tool.

Advanced Analysis

NI LabVIEW SignalExpress TE contains more than 200 different measurement, processing, analysis, and reporting capabilities that can be applied to data being acquired from Tektronix instruments.

Measurement Trending - Automated-measurements from the oscilloscope are graphed over time to provide a simple indication of trends in the measurement parameters.

Data Logging - Waveform data and measurements can be automatically logged to the PC's disk drive for unattended and long-term monitoring applications.

Take advantage of several major time-saving features, including automated measurement sweeping and limit testing. These features provide relief from a traditionally manual and time-intensive process.

Remove the guesswork when connecting the test instrument to a PC by connecting and controlling multiple instruments from one software environment, all within a single drag-and-drop user interface.

The LE (Base) version of NI LabVIEW SignalExpress TE comes standard with the MSO4000, DPO4000, DPO3000, TDS3000C, TDS2000B, and TDS1000B Series oscilloscopes. SIGEXPTE adds extended analysis capabilities.
