WaveStudio
WaveStudio is a PC-based connectivity tool that interfaces a Teledyne LeCroy oscilloscope to a Windows
XP, Vista, 7 or 10 operating system, with support for 32- and 64-bits. It is a fast and easy way to analyze
acquired waveforms offline, or to remotely control an oscilloscope from your desktop.
Unlike XStreamBrowser, which works solely within the Windows COM architecture, WaveStudio can be
connected to a device over most of the available remote control interfaces—ENET (using TCP/IP or LXI),
GPIB, or USBTMC—making it a good way to test different remote connections.
Note: WaveStudio does not support LSIBconnections to the instrument. Choose another remote
connection if you wish to use WaveStudio for remote control.
See the WaveStudio online help or WaveStudio User's Manual for more information.
Setting Permissions
WaveStudio is preset so that only users with Administrator rights can run it. If you wish to use WaveStudio
from a PC that does not have Administrator privileges:
1. Navigate to C:\Program Files\LeCroy\XStream\WaveStudio.exe, then right-click and choose
Properties.
2. Open the Compatibility tab and deselect Run this program as an Administrator.
Connecting to a Device
To use WaveStudio to make the remote connection to an oscilloscope:
1. Configure both the PCrunning WaveStudio and the oscilloscope to support the remote control
method you wish to use.
2.
Launch WaveStudio and click the Add Scope icon either on the Scope ribbon or at the top of the
My Scope Explorer window.
3. Select the remote control method in use.
4. Enter the oscilloscope's domain name or address, depending on the remote connection type (e.g.,
IP address for TCP/IP, GPIB address for GPIB).
5. The device should now appear in the My Scope Explorer window with a status of Alive.
If it does not appear or is not Alive, select it and click the Edit icon . Check that you have entered
the correct name or address. Change it if necessary.
Tip: Go to Utilities > Utilities Setup > Remote on the oscilloscope to check the remote
control method and the device name or address. These must match what is entered in
WaveStudio. If DHCP is in use, the address may have changed since the oscilloscope was
originally added to WaveStudio.
