iView
(Integrated View)
Capability 
TDS oscilloscope configuration requirements –  
The iView cable does not connect fully to the
TDS1000/2000 Series oscilloscopes without a GPIB
extender.Tektronix recommends a standard GPIB
cable as an extender,or order a cable extender
(National Instruments part number 181638-1).
TDS2CMAX Communications Extension Module
required for iView capability on any TDS1000/2000
Series.TDS3GM GPIB/RS-232 Interface Module
required for iView capability on any TDS3000 Series.
TDS3GV GPIB/RS-232/VGA Interface Module
required for iView capability on any TDS3000B
Series.
