If you minimize the application, touch the desktop icon to maximize it: 

 

Restarting the Operating System 

If you need to restart the Windows® operating system, you must reboot the 
oscilloscope by pressing the power switch, and then turning the power back 
on after a ten-second wait. 

External Monitor 

Your WaveRunner Xi Series oscilloscope’s motherboard contains a dual-video 
chip. This enables extension of the desktop over two monitors or to display a 
clone of the oscilloscope screen on an external monitor. 

For example, in extended mode, the scope can be showing the UI on the 
internal monitor and another application like Excel® on the external monitor, 
or vice versa. Or, turn the scope monitor off and view the scope UI only from 
the external monitor if desired. 

Hardware Connections 

 

 

Numbers on the previous picture correspond as follows: 

1. Mouse 

3. RS-232-C Port 

6. Ethernet Port 

8. Speakers 

2. Keyboard 

4. Teledyne LeCroy 
Bus (LBus)
