Licensing
With each order for Signal Integrity Studio, a USB license key is delivered that allows a user to run
the SPARQ application with the SI Studio functionally when disconnected from the SPARQ network
analyzer. Users who purchase SI Studio for standalone use and who subsequently purchase a
SPARQ may be eligible to have the SI_STUDIO option loaded onto their SPARQ. Please contact
LeCroy Customer Service for more information.
Note: To access Signal Integrity Studio capabilities when connected to a LeCroy SPARQ, the SPARQ
must include the SI_STUDIO option code.
Installing Signal Integrity Studio
Signal Integrity Studio uses the same installers as the SPARQ application: SPARQInstaller.exe and
SPARQInstaller64.exe. See Installing SPARQ Software for additional information.
When the SPARQ application detects the SISTUDIO option, the capabilities that comprise Signal
Integrity Studio are enabled. These capabilities are contained within the Serial Data, Simulator and
Eye Doctor items under the Analysis menu. The SI_STUDIO option can be purchased and installed
on a SPARQ Signal Integrity Network Analyzer, or for standalone use via the USB license key that is
shipped with the Signal Integrity Studio option.
Verifying the Signal Integrity Studio Software Option
To verify that the SI_STUDIO option has been correctly loaded identified, confirm that the
EyeDoctor II, Serial Data and Simulator options appear in the Analysis menu, or select Help →
About from the menu bar. The Status dialog box appears; the image below shows the
SI_STUDIO option has been loaded along with other options.
If these options do not appear, then the SI Studio option code was not found. If after 1) confirming
that the SPARQ or USB license key is connected and operational and 2) after restarting the SPARQ
application you continue to find that the SI_STUDIO option code is not present, contact your local
LeCroy Tech Support representative. (see
for contact information.)
Note: When running Signal Integrity Studio with the USB license key, plug the license key in prior to
starting the SPARQ application. If the drivers are properly loaded, an LED in the key will turn on. If
the LED is off, it is possible that the driver didn’t load properly or wasn’t installed.
