Part 1: Making the Remote Connection
Connecting via LSIB
The LeCroy Serial Interface Bus, or LSIB, is a proprietary standard for high-speed data transfer from the
oscilloscope with speeds up to 325 MB/s. Teledyne LeCroy’s exclusive LSIB solution is based on the wired
PCI Express standard that uses a 4-lane bus for remote data transfer. An LSIB API is published.
While LSIB offers significant improvements in data transfer rate over 100Base-T ENET, USBTMC, and
GPIB, the LSIB API is geared toward waveform and data transfer and does not provide for many other
common remote control functions such as remote set up, "hardcopy" screen capture, etc.
LSIB is an optional, factory-installed interface on WavePro, WaveMaster, and LabMaster series
oscilloscopes.
Hardware
Install the LSIB host board or host card on the controller PC, then connect the controller to the
oscilloscope using the LSIB cable.
See the LSIB Host Interfaces Operator's Manual for instructions on making the LSIB connection.
Controller Set Up
Run the LSIB installer for Windows or Linux on the controller. After installation, the online LSIB API (LSIB-
API-Ref-OLH-E.chm), can be found in:
C:\Program Files\LeCroy\XStream\LSIB\Docs
Oscilloscope Set Up
On the oscilloscope, go to Utilities > Utilities Setup > Remote and select the LSIB remote control option.
Shut down both the oscilloscope and the controller. Restart the oscilloscope first, followed by the
controller. You do not have to wait for the oscilloscope's boot cycle to complete to restart the controller.
