EasyScope X - Average Waveform Data

Averaging the signal curve can be a useful way to reduce the noise in a particular signal.

The SIGLENT SDS series of oscilloscopes can easily capture average waveform data using the EasyScope X software.

NOTE: Currently, average waveform data can not be saved in CSV format to a USB memory stick through the front USB connection.

Initial setup:

Download the NI-VISA Runtime Engine that suits your operating system if your computer does not already have a VISA library. This can be downloaded from National Instruments Install the VISA library.
Install the VISA library. This is the communication library used by the EasyScope X software to communicate with the instrumentation
Download the EasySpectrum software from the SSA3000X product page on the SIGLENT website

Connection

1. Connect the oscilloscope to the computer using a USB or LAN connection and switch it on.

NOTE: This example uses a USB connection for communication between the oscilloscope and the computer.

2. Open EasyScopeX by clicking on the desktop icon:

3. Add the device and select the session address for the instrument you want to connect:

4. Configure the instrument to acquire the signal to be measured. You can do this manually on the control panel or use the Virtual Panel control.

Select Virtual Panel> Acquire> and press the Acquisition button until Type=Average is set:

5. Select "Waveform" and use the Play/Pause button to capture the waveform you want. Then select Save > Select the channel you want > Select the CSV type to save > Press Save to open a file dialog.
