Invoking Ascope

cautionCaution Before running Ascope, you must run the Setup utility to install the proper wavelength and pulse width configurations. The latter is especially important for duty cycle limit protection.
In the command line, type: ascope&

If needed, use one of the available command options:

Option Description
<filename> Preload a saved configuration.
-demo Runs Ascope without the signal processor, for testing and demonstration purposes.
-step Start Ascope in single-step mode.
-stats Display additional signal statistics.
-delay millisec Set delay between rays (default 200).
-display DispName Move ASCOPE to another display device.

If Ascope cannot communicate with the signal processor (for example, if the signal processor is not turned on), it displays an error message.

If this happens, repair the problem and restart Ascope.
