A key feature of the combination of WaveAce and LogicStudio is its ability to import analog waveforms from the 

WaveAce and digital waveforms from LogicStudio and display them on a PC in one view. This is accomplished by 

connecting both instruments to the PC via USB cable and installing necessary PC software. 

 

A prerequisite is to download and install 

LogicStudio

 software, which is freely available from the LeCroy website. 

LogicStudio software serves as a full-featured user interface for the logic analyzer as well as the scope. With the 

LogicStudio software, users can navigate the waveform display area by panning across the analyzer’s timeframe, 

zooming specific regions of the waveforms, or scaling the timeframe itself. LogicStudio software provides facilities 

for triggering, setting cursors, controlling run modes, and much more. 

 

Facilitating a USB connection between the WaveAce oscilloscope and the PC also requires installation of NI VISA 

drivers as well as the NI Measurement and Automation Explorer application. These can be downloaded from 

NI’s 

support page

. 

 

 

The first step in displaying signals in LogicStudio is to acquire them with the oscilloscope. For this demonstration, 

a WaveAce 2034 oscilloscope was fed signals from LeCroy’s WaveSource 100, an oscilloscope evaluation signal 

source that plugs into a front-panel USB device port on the WaveAce. The WaveSource 100 provides eight 

parallel digital outputs clocked at 40 kHz. Lines D0 through D7 on the LogicStudio module were connected to the 

WaveSource 100’s eight digital I/O pins. Additionally, lines D8-D10 were used to acquire an SPI signal from the 

WaveSource 100 board.
