Calling Excel From Your Instrument

Calling Excel Directly from the Instrument

Excel can be directly called from the instrument in two ways:

Using a function

F1 through Fx [The number of
math traces available depends
on the software options loaded
on your scope. See
Specifications.]

Excel returns a waveform

Using a parameter

P1 through Px [The number of
parameters available depends
on the software options loaded
on your scope. See
Specifications.]

Excel returns a parameter

In both cases, one call to Excel can use two separate waveforms as input.

Notes:

Excel has a calculation algorithm of 64,000 points (32,000 if you have created a chart in Excel). Therefore, make sure that
your acquisition has less than this number of points if you are going to use an Excel calculation.

To use this capability, you must have the LeCroy XMAP software option and Excel loaded in your instrument. Select
Minimize from the instrument's File menu to access the Excel program directly.
