VT DSO-2A20 Manual Rev. 1.1 

 

Virtins Technology 

3 Multi-Instrument Software License Information 

3.1 License Types 

The License of Multi-Instrument software has six levels and five add-on modules/functions. 
The six levels are: Sound Card Oscilloscope, Sound Card Spectrum Analyzer, Sound Card 
Signal Generator, Multi-Instrument Lite, Multi-Instrument Standard, Multi-Instrument Pro. 
The five add-on modules/functions are: Spectrum 3D Plot, Data Logger, LCR Meter, Device 
Test Plan, Vibrometer.  
 
The license contained in the standard VT DSO package is a hardware bundled Multi-
Instrument Standard license, without any add-on modules/functions. No softkey (activation 
code) and USB hardkey (USB dongle) are provided in this type of license.  The software will 
run under the licensed mode as long as the VT DSO unit is connected to your computer 
before you start the Multi-Instrument software.  
 
Note: If the software is started without the VT DSO unit connected to the computer, it will 
enter into 21-day fully functional trial mode, unless the software is activated by a softkey 
(activation code) or a hardkey (USB dongle), which are NOT included in the standard VT 
DSO package and should be purchased separately as a brand-new license if needed.  In other 
words, the VT DSO hardware should always be connected to the computer in order for the 
Multi-Instrument software to work under the licensed mode, even though you might just 
want to use your computer sound card for ADC and DAC. 
 

3.2 License Upgrade from one level to another 

You can purchase an upgrade of the license, e.g. from Multi-instrument Standard to Multi-
Instrument Pro + Data Logger, at any time if necessary.  After you purchase the upgrade, a 
small upgrade package file will be sent to you via email. You can then use it to upgrade the 
license bundled within the VT DSO unit by selecting [Start]>[All Programs]>[Multi-
Instrument]>[VIRTINS Hardware Upgrading Tool] on your Windows desktop.  
 

3.3 Software Upgrade for the same level 

Software upgrade for the same level (if the hardware is still supported by the new version), 
e.g. from Multi-Instrument 3.0 Standard to Multi-Instrument 3.1 Standard, is always FREE. 
You just need to download the new version from our website and install it to any computer.  
 
Thus, please do visit frequently our website to see if a new version or build is available.
