Introduction
Introduction
This manual documents the requirements for remote control of Teledyne LeCroy's MAUI™ oscilloscopes
using either traditional IEEE 488.2 (GPIB) commands or Windows
®
Component Object Model (COM)
Automation commands.
The manual is divided into the following sections:
Part 1: Making the Remote Connection describes all the methods for gaining access to a MAUI
oscilloscope (device) from a remote computer (controller). It details the software and hardware
requirements for each method.
Part 2: Automation Programming Reference describes the MAUI COM architecture and explains how to
use Automation to control the oscilloscope remotely using manual methods or remote control programs.
Part 3: Automation Control Variable Reference details the MAUI COM architecture for configuring and
controlling the oscilloscope. It is most useful for developers of remote control applications.
Part 4: Automation Result Interface Reference details the MAUI COM architecture for reading back data
from the oscilloscope. It is most useful for developers of remote control applications.
Part 5: IEEE 488.2 Programming Reference describes the LeCroy legacy remote control implementation
and provides an overview of GPIB programming conventions. It also provides information for
understanding MAUI waveform transfer and the waveform template.
Part 6: IEEE 488.2 Command Reference details the legacy remote control commands supported by MAUI
oscilloscopes.
