Introduction – What is CustomDSO?
CustomDSO, in its Basic mode, allows you to create DSO setups that can be called by the touch of a single
button. The recalled setups can themselves include calls to other setups. A very simple example would be a
toggle between two setups. Rings of three or more setups are possible, as are trees, or any other topology that
you need. Basic mode also allows you to recall VBScripts that can set up all or part of the oscilloscope and do
many other things.
Another more powerful feature is the PlugIn, which allows you to add your own ActiveX controls to a setup. These
controls are powered by routines written in Visual Basic. With ActiveX controls you can create your own user
interfaces to suit your own preferences. A large number of interactive devices are available: button, checkbox,
radio button, list box, picture box, and common dialogue box.
