Supplied with the LeCroy 7200 Precision Digital Oscilloscope is a Utilities
Diskette containing support programs which can be executed on any MSDOS
IBM-compatible PC. The programs are described below.

COMPILE.EXE -
Compile.exe is the compiler for 7200 RCL programs.  It translates RCL
programs written on a PC into a form the 7200 can understand.
To translate a program in the file filename.src, type
COMPILE FILENAME. The file filename.apd will be created and
will contain a translated version of the program which can then
be loaded into the 7200 via 3.5" floppy disk or the
TRANSFER_FILE remote command.
See Section 7 of the 7200 Remote Programmer's Manual.


RCLUTIL.EXE
RCLUTIL, is a PC utility program which allows you to edit, compile and
transfer RCL programs to and from the 7200 from a single, integrated
environment.  For instance, when you compile a program and if an error is found,
the editor is automatically invoked and the line containing the error is
displayed.  Another feature is that either GPIB or RS-232-C can be used to
transfer programs to and from the 7200.


7200TALK.EXE -
7200talk.exe is a GPIB communication program. It is self-prompting and
contains built-in help.

7200talk is compatible with the National Instruments PCII,
PCIIA, and PCIII GPIB cards and uses the National Instruments
device driver gpib.com.



WAVETRAN.EXE -
Wavetran.exe translates a waveform file created by a LeCroy digital
oscilloscope and generates ASCII (readable text) output.
Type WAVETRAN -h for a help message.

To print the data values in the waveform file trace1.000, type
WAVETRAN TRACE1.000. The data values will be printed to the
screen. To direct the output to the file data, type
WAVETRAN -oDATA TRACE1.000. To print the acquisition control
settings and other information associated with the waveform,
type WAVETRAN -d TRACE1.000. The acquisition information will
be printed to the screen. To direct the output to the file
info, type WAVETRAN -d -oINFO TRACE1.000.

Wavetran uses another file, called the template file, to
interpret the waveform. The template file describes the
structure of the waveform produced by the oscilloscope.
The file 7200.tpl on the Utilities Diskette contains the template for
waveforms produced by the 7200 oscilloscope. Wavetran uses the
template file named 7200.tpl by default. To translate waveforms
produced by another LeCroy oscilloscope, a different template
file may be specified as described in the help message.
(The template may be read out of the 7200 via GPIB or RS-232C
with the TEMPLATE? remote query, but is provided on the Utilities Diskette
in the file 7200.tpl for convenience.)

IMPORTANT: If wavetran is copied onto another disk, it will not work unless
           the file 7200.tpl is also copied into the same directory.

See Section 3 of the 7200 Remote Programmer's Manual for a
description of the 7200 waveform format and the template.

The information and data can be printed in different formats
by specifying a print format file, as
WAVETRAN -fFORMAT.FMT TRACE1.000. The file all.fmt on the
Utilities Diskette is a sample format file that prints all
parts of a waveform, including sequence trigger times.

Each line of the format file is either a command or the name of a variable
(containing acqusition information - eg. VERTICAL_GAIN) to be printed.
Lines starting with '$' are commands. The commands are:

$PRINT WAVEFORM
	prints the entire waveform
$PRINT BLOCK <block name> DEFAULT
	prints the specified block in default order
$PRINT BLOCK <block name> SPECIFIED
	prints the variables in the block which appear on subsequent lines of
    the format file
$PRINT ARRAY <array name> <start point> <end point>
	prints the specified data or time array from start point to end point
	end point = -1 means print to the end
$COLS <num columns>
	specifies number of columns for output format
$LINES <num lines>
	specifies number of lines to skip between each line of output
$LABELS <ON or OFF>
	specifies whether or not to label the parts of the waveform
$SKIP <num lines>
    skip the specified number of lines
$TITLE <title string>
    print the specified title string


graph.exe -
Graph.exe graphs a list of up to 500 numbers on the screen of a PC.
Type GRAPH -h for a help message.

To graph the data points in a file called data (which may have
been created by using wavetran to translate a 7200 waveform), type
GRAPH DATA.
