These examples are purely illustrative, but you can easily imagine that with a VBScript you can
add value to the scope in a very short time. This gives you an instrument that does exactly what
you want, time after time, by using your stored setups and scripts.
What can you do with a customized instrument?
If you require a result that can be derived logically from the input waveform, you can do it. Many
calculations can be done with remarkably small scripts, but if you have no time for scripting, you
can use one of the proprietary packages, such as Excel, MATLAB, or Mathcad, which offer
immense processing power.
Scaling and Display
Scripting and programming allow a large variety of opportunities. You may, for example, be using
transducers. If so, you can change the units of your waveforms, and write N (newtons), J (joules)
and so on, and you can introduce scaling factors. If the transducers are non-linear, you can
