The GoLogic™ software can display analog data from a digital storage oscilloscope alongside the timing diagrams.

ScopeLink™ supports digital storage oscilloscopes with up to 4 channels and 4 math-function waveforms. Therefore, up to 8 scope signals can be automatically imported into the GoLogic™ software each time trace data is captured.

ScopeLink™ supports the following digital storage oscilloscopes models...

Tektronix®

• DPO 4000 and 7000 Series
• TDS 1000 through 7000 Series
• TDS 200 through 700 Series

LeCroy®

• Wavesurfer Series
• WaveRunner Series
• WaveRunner-2 Series
• WavePro Series
• WaveMaster Series

Aglient®

• DSO3000, DSO5000, and DSO6000 series
• Infiniium 8000 series
• Infiniium 546xx through 548xx series

Linking the GoLogic™ to an external scope is easy...

#1) Data/control connection
A GPIB, RS-232, USB, or Ethernet cable connects the PC and the scope. This connection allows your PC to control the scope and transfers the analog scope data back to the GoLogic™ software on the PC...

Note: If your Tektronix® or LeCroy® scope operates using Windows® 2000, XP, or Vista and has a USB host port, the GoLogic™ can be installed directly on the scope. This eliminates the need to have a separate PC for the GoLogic. The PC inside the scope controls both the GoLogic and the scope.

#2) Trigger connection
The GoLogic's™ trigger-out signal is connected to the scope's external trigger-in. This causes the scope to trigger simultaneously with the GoLogic™ and time-aligns the trace and scope data...

#2) Configure ScopeLink™
The "Edit > ScopeLink Wizard..." menu command configures the GoLogic™ software to control your scope...

Click on a setup button in the WaveForm window and select the scope channel you wish to view...

• Each time the "Go" button is pressed, ScopeLink™ automatically starts the scope.
• After each trace is downloaded, ScopeLink™ then downloads the scope’s data.
• ScopeLink™ automatically aligns the scope and trace data.
• The scope data is then visible alongside the timing diagrams in the WaveForm window.

• The scope must be configured via its front panel. ScopeLink™ cannot control the scope's trigger source, trigger position, trigger slope, voltage range, and sampling rate.
• The scope must trigger on the GoLogic's™ trigger-out signal. Otherwise, the scope data will not be time-aligned with the GoLogic™ data.
• The scope must use "single-acquisition" mode rather than "repeat-acquisition" mode. When the GoLogic™ triggers, the scope also triggers, fills its memory, and then stops running.

• LeCroy® provides a special tool named LeCroyIB™ that can be used with their X-Stream™ equipped scopes. The program redirects GPIB communications over TCP/IP Ethernet connections. This utility allows the scope to be controlled on a LAN. This tool also allows the GoLogic to be installed directly on the scope by redirecting GPIB calls to control the scope locally. LeCroyIB™ is available from LeCroy®  (www.lecroy.com).

• ScopeLink™ supports TekVISA™ version 2.00e and above. This software is available from the Tektronix® web site (www.tek.com). Using the TekVISA™ interface, ScopeLink™ can control a Tektronix® scope via RS-232, GPIB, TCP/IP, USB, or run directly on scopes that run Windows™.

• ScopeLink™ supports the Agilent® VISA™ interface provided with the Agilent® I/O Libraries. The Agilent® I/O Libraries is provided on CD-ROM with your Infiniium™ scope. Since Agilent® scopes do not run Windows, the GoLogic software cannot be installed on these scopes.
