Applications

Software to Capture, Analyze, Document and Control Data

WaveStar Software is a family of Windows 95/98/NT 4.0 applications bringing either Tektronix TDS/THS/11800/CSA803 oscilloscopes or TX-DMMTM measurement information to your PC desktop.

Capture

Setup communication to instruments through the WaveStar Instrument Manager. The Explorer View displays these instruments and reveals their corresponding properties. To capture measurements, select a property, click, drag and drop into an active application sheet and begin analysis at your PC.

Analyze

Use up to twelve data sheets for analysis:

Graticule Sheets - Capture waveforms in YT or XY mode. Graphically view or edit multiple waveforms and masks on a graticule, with the same scale and position as the oscilloscope. Includes cursor measurements, horizontal and vertical gates, zoom function and annotation.

X-Y Sheet - Capture and display one or more pairs of waveforms plotted against each other in an X-Y fashion. Sheet features cursor measurements and annotation capabilities.

Instrument Explorer Sheet - Move and manipulate files to and from the PC or other instruments, add/delete directories, format drives, and more . . .

Stripchart Sheet - Automatically plots multiple waveform measurements, such as risetime or TX-DMM data, in a classic stripchart fashion. Sheet features cursor measurements, alarm control, and annotation capabilities.

Tabular Sheets - Capture, store, display and edit either waveform or data log information as a table of numbers on corresponding sheets. The Scalar Viewer Sheet displays contents of memory locations on the TX-DMM Series or measurements from the oscilloscope.

Measurement Sheet - Calculate frequency, pulse width, rise/fall time, duty cycle, overshoot, peak to peak, amplitude, min, max, mean, cycle mean and RMS measurements.

Harmonic Analysis Sheet - Produce power waveforms from current and voltage and calculate up to 51 harmonics.

Notes Sheet - Prepare simple reports; capture and save instrument hard copy; save, edit and restore instrument setups.

Document

Quickly and simply insert information into Microsoft Office applications, such as Excel, Word or PowerPoint. Transfer information into Windows applications, such as MathCad, through the Windows clipboard.

Control

Easily control instrument settings and measurements such as autoset and triggers through the Explorer View. For convenience, WSTRM includes a unique virtual instrument control interface.
