Hi,
 
I am starting to get familiariser with remote control to the Tektronix TLA5202.  The current SW version is as following:
- LabView 8.0
- Tektronix instrument driver library : Tektronix TLA series (Plug and Play project used with Labview 8.0)
 
I was able to:
- load pre-setup files
- enable data acquisition (signals are displayed in the LA Waveform window)
 
BUT I do not know how to read the acquisition data.  I use the example ``Read Acquisition Data.vi`` but I can not understand the function to interprete the reading data.
Therefore I have the following questions in assuming that there is 3 signals were displayed on LA waveform window:
- How to interprete the reading data versus the displayed signals?
- How to specify the reading data shall start at the reference trigger point?
- I guess the ``count`` field is the number of sample to be read from the starting point, is it true?
- There is 5 options in the ``Data Set`` field, but I do not understand clearly? Is there any detailed explanation on these options?
- I interest particularly the ``Compare`` option, does it mean that I do not need to read the acquisition data;  what I just need is to command the LA to perform the comparison and the LA will return a Pass/Fail Status?  Is there any detailed explanation on this option?
 
Thanks for the help.

Now I know how to interprete the LA acquisition data.  I just put this information here in case someone needs.
 
TLA 5202 (64 channels) Acquisition data format is:
C3   C2   D1   D0   A1   A0   A3   A2   CK3   CK2   CK1   CK0   RTC  Res <--- Time Stamp --->
