Init with

When an oscilloscope is detected by the Multi Channel oscilloscope software, it can be opened and listed in the object tree. Additionally, the opened oscilloscope can be initialized with predefined settings from a settings file when Init with is checked. Select a settings file using the Open button File open button.

Start after opening

When an oscilloscope is detected by the Multi Channel oscilloscope software, it will be opened and listed in the object tree. When start after opening is checked, the oscilloscope will start measuring automatically.

Start after loading settings

After loading a TPS settings file containing instrument settings and optionally measured data, oscilloscopes can automatically be started depending on this setting. The following options are available for start after loading settings:

  • Never The oscilloscope(s) will be stopped. Any data loaded into the oscilloscope(s) will remain in the instrument(s).
  • Always The oscilloscope(s) will be started.
  • Keep same state If oscilloscopes were measuring when the settings file was loaded, they are restarted after loading. If oscilloscopes were not measuring when the settings file was loaded, they are not started after loading.
  • As loaded The state in the loaded setfile will be used.
Note: When oscilloscopes are (re)started after loading the settings file, any data loaded into the oscilloscope(s) will be overwritten after a measurement is performed.

Automatically to graphs

When the Multi Channel oscilloscope software detects and opens oscilloscopes, it can automatically create a graph for each oscilloscope and place the channels of the oscilloscope in the graphs. Two settings control how many oscilloscope and channels are put in graphs:

  • Maximum number of instruments determines how many of the detected instruments are automatically placed in a graph.
  • Maximum number of channels determines the maximum amount of channels that is automatically placed in a graph.
