Software to Capture, Analyze, Document and
Control Data
WaveStarTM Software is a
family of Windows 95/98/NT 4.0/2000 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 WaveStarTM 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.
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 MS Windows applications, such as MathCad, through the MS Windows clipboard.
WaveStarTM Reader
Share important findings and
facilitate discussions or troubleshooting with a view from WaveStarTM
software.
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.
