content: Thank you for your replyI tried it,but It doesn't work.I do know software is not compatible or there is a problem in my oscilloscope.When I send commands to oscilloscope,it echos the commands when it reaches 12 character.Also there an icon appears on the screen indicates that it is connected to PC.

content: An old version of EasyScope SW should work via LAN or USB connection to PC.The dependency is a requirement for NIVISA connectivity drivers....a massive package but the much smaller NI Runtime download will provide the drivers required.Be sure to read the install notes for EasyScope.

content: The problem is that my oscilloscope doesn't respond to any command .There is a communication between the PC and the device because it echos what I sent and the device goes into remote state.I use serial port (RS232).The definition of usb port in device manger is USB CH372/CH375 which I do know how to deal with it in labview

content: In the other thread mentioned, someone suggested opening up the scope and checking if the PCB is Siglent branded (https://www.eevblog.com/forum/buysellwanted/atten_s-new-oscilloscope-100mhz-1g-sas-ga1102cal-compare-to-ads1102cal/msg395076/#msg395076). It could also help figure out what you have if you take a few pictures of the PCB and post here. I would suggest to go that route before spending more time with trying various Siglent software/firmware. The original software apparently was called GAScope1.0 and it was only included on the PC that came with the scope. I looked around past versions of various sites and found a few mentioning the scope but couldn't find a download link for the software.
