DSO Manager Increases Productivity By Controlling DSO from Leader
Instruments

July 22, 1993 -- Mount Laurel, NJ - FemtoTek announced today DSO Manager, a
new productivity tool for controlling a Leader Instruments Model 3100D
Digital Storage Oscilloscope (DSO) from a graphical user interface (GUI)
on a DOS PC using a mouse. Based on the LabWindows software from National
Instruments, DSO Manager is available from FemtoTek as software only or as
a complete system, which includes a National Instruments GPIB interface
board. FemtoTek is a member of the National Instruments Alliance Program.

With DSO Manager, engineers and scientists have complete functionality for
storing, comparing, and documenting waveform data. For repetitive use of
the oscilloscope in calibration or service departments, DSO Manager
contains powerful features for quick setup to predefined measurement
settings. For PC-based display, users can store waveforms from the
oscilloscope and display them in near real time on the PC.

DSO Manager adds easy to use computer control to the full functionality of
a standalone oscilloscope. With the DSO Manager pop-up screens and menus,
users can perform all standard oscilloscope functions, including:

* Read and set front panel settings 
* Transfer waveforms to/from oscilloscope 
* Display waveforms and setup on PC screen 
* Store and retrieve measurement setups to disk 
* Store and retrieve waveform data to disk 
* Plot waveforms to a graphical printer 
* Export waveforms data to ASCII files for documentation 
* Compute spectrum of stored waveforms

Additionally, DSO Manager performs all asynchronous measurement functions
of the oscilloscope, including pass/fail measurements on displayed
waveform data, parametric measurements on pulse shapes, and single-sweep
data capture.

About LabWindows 

LabWindows is a set of software tools and libraries for developing programs
under DOS with Microsoft C and QuickBASIC for instrument control, data
acquisition, analysis, and presentation. Version 2.3 features a new user
interface CodeBuilder, an interactive prototyping and program-generation
utility to help LabWindows users automatically design and build programs
with GUIs. With LabWindows, users can control GPIB, VXI, and RS-232
instruments, along with plug-in data acquisition boards. The LabWindows
Instrument Library contains over 300 ready-to-use high-level drivers for
controlling specific programmable instruments. The LabWindows User
Interface Library has functions for creating multiplot graphs, strip
charts, bar charts, and scatter plots. The LabWindows Analysis Libraries
have functions for array and matrix manipulation, complex arithmetic, and
statistics, Fast Fourier Transforms, curve fitting, digital filters, real
and complex vector and scalar operations, and high-level statistical
analysis.
