• Installed on a PC with the idea to only view
saved waveforms
• Installed on the PC that is internal to the
Scope (saved and live waveforms)
• Installed on a PC and communicating with
the scope via GPIB or USB (viewing both
saved and live waveforms)

–
PC Software
•
•
–
NI-VISA v3.0 (or higher) OR Agilent Technologies I/O Suite v14 (or higher) required
These are available as free upgrades from their respective companies if you currently
own a valid license of a previous version of the VISA product
You will have to connect your PC to your scope
•
AT82350 (PCI) or NI PCI-GPIB interface card and VISA software for a desktop system;
GPIB-PCMCIA or NI PCMCIA-GPIB card and VISA software for a laptop system
–
•
GPIB or USB cable to connect PC to oscilloscope
–

Not needed for USB connections
USB will only work if the scope was designed to extract waveforms over that link (see your scope
manufacturer)
A supported real-time oscilloscope from Agilent, LeCroy, Yokogawa or Tektronix
If these elements are not already installed, please install them now.
Preparing to Use
Preparing to use
M1 WaveformViewer™
• Attach scope to PC (if external)
• Set scope communication
– This is different for different scopes
Home
Setup the Scope for
Live Data Capture
• Turn on at least one channel
• Select sample rate
– Waveform edge rate
– Waveform rep rate
•
•
•
•
•
•
Autoscale
Ensure the scope is triggering
Make sure you have several cycles on screen
Set the memory depth to ~200 kpts to begin
Set the sample rate and memory depth to manual control
Scale measurement to fill 7+ divs (!!)
• Now Start M1 WaveformViewer™
Home
Capturing Live Waveforms
M1 AutoMeasure™
• What previously required 30+ mouse
clicks, now happens automatically when
you click the M1 WaveformViewer™
desktop icon
• Knows the difference between Scope And
Logic Timing channels
Home
Live Data Capture
• ReRun AutoMeasure
– While running M1 WaveformViewer™, you may
want to change the signals on the scope.
– Just like Autoscale on the scope.
• Go Mode: Single versus Sequence
• Upload

Viewing Waveforms
•
Capture live waveforms most real-time scopes

•
View saved waveform formats supported include:
–
–
–
–
•
•
Agilent BIN format
Native formats for each scope manufacturer**
CSV (Comma Separated Value)
Tab-seperated-value (XLS format)
View…
Voltage vs. time waveforms for each scope channel
AND
MSO’s logic channels
… simultaneously!
A virtually unlimited number of waveforms

Home
Live waveforms can be captured as a single acquisition or in sequences
of acquisitions
Regardless of their source
** The current plan is to ship these and other additional features in coming months (everyone
purchasing now will get a no-cost update to these features should they be released).
Measurements
•
17 common oscilloscope pulse-parameter measurements
•
Multi-acquisition statistics
•
Markers for each view
– horizontal and vertical pairs
•
Some of the complex analysis found in
M1 Oscilloscope Tools™
– including cycle-to-cycle measurements like:
• Period-vs-time
• Frequency-vs-time
• Pulse Width-vs-time**
Home
** The current plan is to ship these and other additional features in coming months (everyone
purchasing now will get a no-cost update to these features should they be released).
Other Capabilities
• Data Source window makes it easy to see what
windows are open and switch between different
acquisitions
• Intuitive operation
– the look and feel of M1 Oscilloscope Tools™
• Very fast and responsive GUI
• Starts up in a few seconds
• Operates internally on Windows-based Scopes or
Externally on a PC
