Part 1: Making the Remote Connection
9. On the Select Users… dialog:
l If the PC and oscilloscope are on the same NT domain, select the PC user account.
l If the PC and oscilloscope are not on the same NT domain, enter the PC user account name
and click Check Names.
Click OK.
10. On the Launch Permissions dialog, check Allow for all permissions. Click OK.
11. On the Component Services window, expand My Computer > DCOM Config. Right-click on
LeCroyXStreamDSO and choose Properties.
12. Open the Identity tab and select The interactive user.
13. Open the Security tab, under Launch and Activation Permissions select Customize, then click Edit.
14. On the Select Users… dialog:
l If the PC and oscilloscope are on the same NT domain, select the PC user account.
l If the PC and oscilloscope are not on the same NT domain, enter the PC user account name
and click Check Names.
Click OK.
15. On the Launch Permissions dialog, check Allow for all permissions. Click OK.
16. On the Security tab, under Access Permissions, select Customize and click Edit. Repeat Steps 14
and 15.
17. Choose Start > Shut Down > Restart to reboot the oscilloscope.
E. Test the DCOM Connection
Install the XStreamBrowser on the PC and use it to Connect to Remote Instrument (DCOM).
If the DCOM connection is properly configured, you should now see the oscilloscope application object
hierarchy appear in the XStreamBrowser window.
Note: WaveSurfer 3000 users should instead install the WaveStudio software, which will display
the COM hierarchy of a connected device when Automation Browser is selected.
