Unable to Create a VISA TCP/IP Resource for Tektronix Scope

Hardware: Instrument Connectivity Other>>Ethernet>>GPIB-ENET/100

Problem:
I am currently using a Tektronix Oscilliscope and trying to create a VISA TCP/IP Resource. When I validate the resource I get the following error:


I have checked the connection of the scope and verified that it is connected correctly. Why am I unable to create a VISA TCP/IP Resource?

Solution:
This issue occurs when the VXI-11 server for the Tektronix Oscilliscope is stopped. To start the VXI-11 server on the scope, you will need to physically set the properties to start the VXI-11 server when the scope is powered on.

Once you start the VXI-11 server, you should be able to create a TCP/IP Resource and connect to the scope without any problems.

For more information about how to start the VXI-11 server, reference the Related Links Section.
