LSA1000 Software Tools
Introducing the LSA1000
Software…
The LSA1000 software tools, provided separately with the
instrument, allow you to develop your own application-
specific programs, quickly and easily. These tools are:
Remote LSA, ActiveDSO, ScopeExplorer, and NET_CON.
The files for all software described here are to be found on
the CD-ROM.
Remote
LSA
The LSA1000 offers a scope-like graphical user interface on the
host PC for the Windows 95 or NT environment. This program,
Remote LSA
, provides a live waveform display and the ability to
control the basic functions of the LSA1000 remotely from the
computer
without programming
.
Remote LSA
’s user interface
broadly simulates a LeCroy oscilloscope’s front panel. The
program is intended as a initial performance verification, and a
visual diagnostic tool for use in program development with the
LSA1000.
See pages 5
–6 and 5–11.
ActiveDSO
Based on Microsoft’s ActiveX control technology,
ActiveDSO
gives leverage to widely-available Microsoft software tools and
makes programming within the Microsoft environment easier.
ActiveDSO
simplifies the computer’s interface with the LSA1000
and programming within Visual C++, Visual Basic or any other
ActiveX-compatible applications. For example, Microsoft Excel
can even be used to control and retrieve data directly from the
LSA1000. This tool becomes part of the target application and
provides seamless access to the full power of the LSA1000.

ScopeExplorer
This PC-based connectivity tool integrates LeCroy instruments
with Windows 95 or NT PCs. Connected to the PC by the
Ethernet port, the LSA1000 using
ScopeExplorer
allows data
and images to be transferred from the instrument and stored in
the computer. And because it is designed specifically for use
with LeCroy instruments,
ScopeExplorer
allows these tasks to be
completed with only a few keystrokes or mouse clicks.
