LABNOTEBOOK

Introduction to LabNotebook

LeCroy's LabNotebook feature extends the documentation capabilities of your scope. It allows you
to create an annotated notebook entry containing all displayed waveforms, the setup of the DSO,
and user-supplied annotation. The notebook entry can then be converted to hardcopy format -- pdf,
rtf, or html -- and printed or e-mailed. You can also use the default report layout or configure your
own, and even substitute your own company logo in the header.

Notebook entries are stored in an internal database and are available for recall at any time. Besides
storing the waveform data, LabNotebook also stores your panel setups and parameter
measurements. You have the capability to back up the database to external media.

The Flashback feature allows you to recall the state of the DSO at a later date, including the saved
waveforms and the DSO setup, so that you can make additional measurements. A keyword filter
makes it easy to find the correct notebook entry to recall.

You can choose which notebook to use for your entries, and label the notebook by project or user.
If the scope is shared among several users, for example, or used for different projects, the data can
be kept separately. Similarly, hardcopy reports can be stored in different folders.

Preferences

You should set your preferences before creating notebook entries.

Miscellaneous Settings

You can elect to name notebook entries with the default date
and time by leaving the top box unchecked. Check the box if you
want the opportunity to rename the notebook entry as soon as it
is created.

Check the middle box if you want to be able to annotate a
notebook entry as soon as it is created.

Check the last box if you want to generate a notebook entry by

simply touching the Hardcopy (Print) front panel button

. By

checking this box, you override any other configuration for this
button; for example, send e-mail or output to printer.
