Introduction The EasyScopX is used to provide remote access to your oscilloscopes from a PC. It provides several functions based on graphical user interface such as oscilloscope management, SCPI tests, wave control and so on. The major interface is as below.
System Requirements 1、NET framework 3.5 SP1 The application you are installing requires the Microsoft .NET framework version 3.5 to run. You can download the Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 package directly from Microsoft. This is a small 3 MB download with just the .NET framework installer. When you run it, the installer downloads the actual framework components that need to be installed on your computer. Once you've installed the .NET framework, you can continue installing the application. If you plan to install version 3.5 of the .NET framework on a large number of computers, you can also download the full package of the Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1. This 231 MB download comes directly from Microsoft. The small 3 MB installer likely needs to download much less than this, depending on what is already present on your computer.
