XMAP software option allows you to use Excel, Mathcad, MATLAB, and VBScript in this manner. Of course, you
will need to load Excel, Mathcad, or MATLAB in the oscilloscope (VBScript does not require any additional
software) to take advantage of the capa
main software, which take in waveform data and other variables like vertical scale and offset, and horizontal scale
and offset. These functions then return a waveform or a parameter as required. In addition, you can view the
calculated data directly in Excel, MATLAB, or Mathcad, if you desire.
What is Excel?
Excel is a program within Microsoft Office. With it you can place data in the cells of a spreadsheet, calculate other
values from them, prepare charts of many kinds, use mathematical and statistical functions, and communicate
with other programs in Office. From the instrument you can send data to Excel (where processing can take place)
and return the results to the instrument.
What is Mathcad?
Mathcad is a software package from MathSoft. It provides an integrated environment for performing numerical
calculations and solving equations, and communicating with other programs. Results can be presented in tabular
or graphical form.
What is MATLAB?
MATLAB is a software package from MathWorks that provides an environment for work in computation and
mathematics. An interactive language and graphics are provided.
