Control Variables in CustomDSO 

The simplest way to select variables for use in CustomDSO is to use LeCroy’s X-Stream Browser. 

LABNOTEBOOK 

Introduction to LabNotebook 

LeCroy's LabNotebook feature extends the documentation ca
an annotated notebook entry containing all displayed wa
annotation. The notebook entry can then be co
mailed. You can also use the default report layout or configu
logo in the header. 

Notebook entries are stored in an internal database and 
waveform data, LabNotebook also stores your panel setup
capability to back up the database to external media. 

The Flashback feature allows you to recall the state of
and the DSO setup, so that you can make additional mea
correct notebook entry to recall. 

You can choose which notebook to use for your entrie

pabilities of your oscilloscope. It allows you to create 

veforms, the setup of the DSO, and user-supplied 

nverted to hardcopy format - pdf, rtf, or html - and printed or e-

re your own, and even substitute your own company 

are available for recall at any time. Besides storing the 

s and parameter measurements. You have the 

 the DSO at a later date, including the saved waveforms 

surements. A keyword filter makes it easy to find the 

s, and label the notebook by project or user. If the 

cilloscope is shared among several users, for example, or used for different projects, the data can be kept 
parately. Similarly, hardcopy reports can be stored in different folders.
