Introduction to LabNotebook

LeCroy's LabNotebook feature extends the documentation capabilities of
your oscilloscope. It allows you to create an annotated notebook entry
containing all displayed waveforms, the setup of the DSO, and user‐
supplied annotation. The notebook entry can then be converted to
hardcopy format ‐ pdf, rtf, or html ‐ and printed or e‐mailed. You can also
use the default report layout or configure your own, and even substitute
your own company logo in the header.
Notebook entries are stored in an internal database and are available for
recall at any time. Besides storing the waveform data, LabNotebook also
stores your panel setups and parameter measurements. You have the
capability to back up the database to external media.
The Flashback feature allows you to recall the state of the DSO at a later
date, including the saved waveforms and the DSO setup, so that you can
make additional measurements. A keyword filter makes it easy to find the
correct notebook entry to recall.
You can choose which notebook to use for your entries, and label the
notebook by project or user. If the oscilloscope is shared among several
users, for example, or used for different projects, the data can be kept
separately. Similarly, hardcopy reports can be stored in different folders.
Note: If your external monitor is connected, the LabNotebook
automatically opens on the external monitor.
