A PPENDIX - A DCOM Setup
Creating a User Account on Oscilloscopes Running Windows XP or Vista
Note:
If the PC and the Oscilloscope reside on the same NT domain, there is no need to create a user account on the oscilloscope and this
topic may be skipped.
If the PC and oscilloscope do not reside on the same NT domain, a user account must be created on the
oscilloscope. This user account must match the username and password of the one on the PC (the same one on
the PC, with administrative rights, etc.). Create a new user account on the oscilloscope as follows:
Right-click on MyComputer and select Manage. Open Local Users and Groups Æ Users. Right-click on a
blank area in the list of users on the right and select New User…, or choose this option from the Actions menu.
Be sure to match the username and password fields from the PC’s account on the oscilloscope’s New User
window.
Note:
This new account is created to provide DCOM access to the oscilloscope and is not necessarily needed for any other use.
