Customization Overview
The instrument provides powerful capability to add your parameters,
functions, display algorithms, or other routines to the oscilloscope user
interface. You can customize the instrument to your needs by using the
power of programs such as Excel™, Mathcad™, and MATLAB™, or by
scripting in VBS. Whichever method you use, the results appear on the
instrument's display together with the signals that you started with. This
ability offers tremendous advantages in solving unique problems for a large
range of applications, with comparatively little effort:

Export data to programs, without leaving the instrument
environment.

Get results back from those programs, and display them on the
instrument, without leaving the instrument application
environment.

Once the result is returned, perform additional oscilloscope
operations, such as measuring with cursors, applying parameters, or
performing additional functions on the waveform, in exactly the
same way as for a normal waveform.

Program the oscilloscope yourself.
The instrument does not just provide connectivity with data downloads to
other programs. It provides true customizable interaction with these other
programs, and allows you to truly customize the oscilloscope to do the
exact job you want it to do. The advantages to this are many:

Use the standard processing power of the instrument to do most of
your calculations. You only need to write the function, parameter,
display algorithm, etc. that specifically applies to your need and that
the instrument doesn't contain.

View the final result on the instrument display, and use all of the
instrument's tools to understand the result.

Do additional processing on the result by applying standard
instrument parameters, functions, etc. to the returned result, or
even more powerfully, adding chained customized functions. For
example, you can do an Excel calculation on a result with a MATLAB
function applied to it.
