CUSTOMDSO
What is CustomDSO?
CustomDSO, in its Basic mode, allows you to create DSO setups that can be called by the touch
of a single button. The recalled setups can themselves include calls to other setups. A very
simple example would be a toggle between two setups. Rings of three or more setups are
possible, as are trees, or any other topology that you need. Basic mode also allows you to recall
VBScripts that can set up all or part of the scope and do many other things.
Another more powerful feature is the PlugIn, which allows you to add your own ActiveX controls
to a setup. These controls are powered by routines written in Visual Basic. With ActiveX controls
you can create your own user interfaces to suit your own preferences. A large number of
interactive devices are available: button, checkbox, radio button, list box, picture box, and
common dialogue box.
