mask test remotely with LeCroy 6030 oscilloscopes

[Nicku]

Hello everybody !

For an automated test I must use a mask test for one channel, seeing the PASS/FAIL result.

I am using WM-RCM-E_Rev_D_902208( remote manual ).pdf but I didn't saw any remote command for controlling the mask and to read the mask test result (pass or fail).

If possible I remotely want to load a mask from the oscilloscope (or directly from the computer), set the test conditions and read back the mask test result.

There are somewhere a list with these commands available? If yes would you send it to me please.

Do you have other example/suggestions for me how to do that?

Thank you!

Hi Nicu,

Use the VBS command to send in the automation strings for the P/F functionality you are wanting to access. The automation strings can be found by running XStream Browser; there is a shortcut to this application on the desktop of the scope. XStream Browser shows the automation interface for the scope; connect to the "local scope", and then navigate to PassFail/Q1. At the Q1 level you will see the overall settings. Go to the Operator folder to see additional details.

Some examples:

To specify which mask file:

VBS 'app.PassFail.Q1.Operator.Filename = "D:\Masks\100BaseT.msk" '

To setup the condition:

VBS 'app.PassFail.Q1.Operator.Condition = "AnyOut" '

To readback the result of Q1:

VBS? 'return=app.PassFail.Q1.Out.Result.Value' (returns 0 for false, -1 for true)

To readback the overall P/F result

VBS? 'return=app.PassFail.LastPass.Result.Value' (returns 0 for false, -1 for true)

Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any additional questions.

Best Regards,

Alan

Never mind marking an accepted solution but can atleast share what you did to solve it and then mark it as an accepted one?

[Nicku]

Sorry, my mistake!

I didn't know how to mark that using VBS commands is the solution.

At this moment I don't know how to delete the check from accepted solution from my side and put it in the Alan replay.

Hi Alan,

This post might be too old but i have some issue regarding the mask test and hope you can advise.

Attached is my code but i cannot get the response sometimes and even got an error message at the scope.

 Can you please advise? Thank you.

Best regards,

Hi Crystal -  I'm no longer in tech support, and kindly ask that you call your local Applications Engineer for assistance.  If you are in the USA, you can call 800-553-2769 for tech support.  Our "Contact Us" page has phone numbers/email addresses for support if you are outside of the US.

My quick thought on the issue...  Is it possible that you are encountering a Windows permissions issue?  Perhaps the error message is occurring because the file is already open?

Best Regards,

Alan
