Well after 2 years I have managed to get a program going. I am not a programmer
but a calibration engineer. I was worried about triggering for a long time
until I realised that with over 8K of trace to play with the bit you want
to see will be in there somewhere. VEE conveniently gives ample zoom facilities
when the whole RAM is downloaded. So here it is with the ussual disclaimers
as to the effect that any measurements made are the responsibility of the
user (it was adjusted against my HP8903E audio analyser). Now that I have
made a start I intend to develop further programs using more advanced features.
I the meantime this program will allow testing of the box after construction
and allow basic measurements.Use advanced VEE features to zoom in on selected
trace portions and delta cursor features (operated with the mouse). My
Vee developer license certificate is GSDC-N3W8-Y2JE-4QG4.
Here is the program in 4 different forms depending which
serial port you have free, double clicking on it or a shortcut should run
it by association with runtime.OScope1
OScope2 OScope3
OScope4
They have been changed to rtf extention to get past Explorer and
will need changing back to a vxe before execution
You will need sicl libraries to configure your serial port.

The VEE 6.1 runtime software necessary to run the program
(50M) is freely downloadable from Agilent on

Stop press ! I have discovered microsoft quickbasic, this should allow me to write an exe which can be accessed by VEE. The problem has been VEE downloads a character at a time allowing an echoe With quickbasic I should be able to download a complete block. When will I ever get the time ?
