Verifying signal acquisition of a CompuScope card with GageScope and CSTest
Gage strongly recommends that you become familiar with GageScope as a powerful tool for capturing and
analyzing signals, even if you will eventually develop your own application to control your hardware. Since it
embodies all the knowledge required to operate the wide array of CompuScope cards and all their functionalities,
GageScope is the ideal tool to verify the operation of your hardware and to troubleshoot applications you may
develop on your own. GageScope Lite is provided for free to all users of CompuScope cards for precisely this
purpose.
You can find extremely detailed instructions on how to use GageScope in the GageScope manual that is included
in PDF format on the Gage Software Disk (CD Drive:/Gage/SW Manuals).
However, if you have not already installed GageScope, or if you do not wish to install it at this point, Gage
provides a simple application, for CompuScope 3.82 drivers (or CSTest for CompuScope 3.60 drivers)
that allows you to capture signals and verify the correct operation of your new CompuScope card. Note that the
following section details the functionality only, but CSTest has a slightly different interface.
