Virtual (Simulated) 4/8 Channel Oscilloscopes

Remote Commands

You can remotely connect a simulated instrument using the commands found in the Infiniium 2026 Programmer's Guide for the :INSTrument subsystem. Use the :SOURce subsystem commands to configure the module's output.

Simulated instruments include configurable simulated waveforms where you can set the waveform's type (clock, data, function, or file), symbol rate, amplitude, and offset. You can even apply random jitter and noise. You can even load a saved HDF5 format waveform (.h5) file into the simulated source (see Configuring Simulated Instruments). The following simulated instruments are available:

  • Virtual 4 Channel real-time oscilloscope
  • Virtual 8 Channel real-time oscilloscope

To install a simulated instrument

  1. Select the button that is displayed to the right of the channel buttons along the bottom of the display.
  2. In the Signal Management dialog box, select the button to the right of the analog channels.
  3. In the Instrument Configuration dialog box shown in the following picture, drag the simulated pictures between the Instruments palette and the connections. The destination connection need not be empty.
  4. Click on an instrument picture to open the Configuring Simulated Instruments dialog box.
