Tektronix, a leader in test and measurement solutions, has introduced TekHSI (Tektronix High Speed Interface), a remote procedure call (RPC)-based solution designed for fast data transfer from test instruments to PCs. This new feature is now available as firmware on the Tektronix MSO 4B, 5, and 6 Series models, offering higher data transfer speeds with straightforward implementation and scalability, maximizing the potential of physical links like Ethernet.
Existing solutions require complex code optimization for high data transfer rates, relying on standard commands for programmable instruments (SCPI) like curve and curvestream. These methods often fall short in utilizing the full bandwidth of physical links, causing workflow delays, especially with large record lengths and high sample rate waveform files.
“Before TekHSI, our customers depended on SCPI curve and curvestream commands for data transfer, which led to workflow bottlenecks for test and measurement engineers,” said Gaurav Marmat, Tektronix Product Manager.
TekHSI, based on Google’s modern remote procedure call architecture, offers an easy-to-adopt and scalable alternative to traditional data transfer methods, delivering faster and more efficient results for various test automation needs. Tektronix TekHSI is available through a Python library for automation projects, making integration into existing workflows simple. The TekScope PC version 2.10 provides a user-friendly interface for those needing a graphical approach.
Based in Beaverton, Oregon, Tektronix has been a pioneer in digital technology for over 75 years. The company provides precise and easy-to-use test, measurement, and monitoring solutions that solve problems and drive discovery worldwide.
