Chapter 2 Getting to know your digital storage oscilloscope
communication and control software
1. The control panel
When the oscilloscope communication and control software is activated, a display
panel similar to the digital storage oscilloscope operation interface will pop up. This is
the virtual oscilloscope control panel. When transmitting data, you can observe the
current waveform displayed by the oscilloscope on the virtual control panel. This
interface also features menus, controls and knobs for accessing waveform and channel
parameters (please disable the “data transmission” function before using the menus to
access information). Please see below for detailed operation instructions :

2. Main menu
Figure 2-1 shows two menus under the main menu on the top left corner : document
and help. At the bottom of the screen you will find four menus : record path setup,
record, playback path setup and playback. Their operation instructions are as follows :
1. Document
Transmitting and saving data : This means saving the waveform on the virtual
display to the computer or other storage media. Select DOCUMENT→DATA
TRANSMISSION & SAVE, then save the document in *.sav format on the
computer hard disk or a mobile hard disk. You can name the document in anyway
you like.
Return : Return to the model selection menu.
2. Help
Major functions of the digital storage oscilloscope communication and control
software are displayed.
◆ Remote monitoring and control : You can control your digital storage
oscilloscope remotely with the communication and control software. In the remote
control mode, the computer will show a virtual display and control panel similar to
the control panel of the digital storage oscilloscope. The virtual control panel is
shown in Figure 2-2.

The sign of every button or knob on the virtual control panel is identical to that on the
oscilloscope control panel. You can click the same buttons to operate the corresponding
functions. To use the virtual control panel efficiently, you must be familiar with all
function menus as well as the current status of the oscilloscope. Waveforms on the
virtual display panel are updated in real time and maintain synchronized with the
waveforms on the oscilloscope.
