PCIP-SCOPE Example Program
--------------------------

The PSCOPEX.MAK project illustrates using the PCIP-SCOPE Control in a Visual
Basic application.  This example uses almost ALL of the features and
functions of the PCIP-SCOPE Control.  Please see the PCIP-SCOPE Control User
Guide for a complete description of the custom control's properties and
events.  On-line help is available by selecting a property in VB's Property
list and pressing the F1 key.

PSCOPEX.EXE operates similar to a benchtop digital oscilloscope, but
there are a few exceptions:

  1. The "Offset" control functions as a position adjustment only in the
"Volts" display mode.  Click the data format button to the right of the
single value readout in either of the "Channel" groups to alternate between
"Volts" and "Code" formats.

  2. In Volts mode, the channel sensitivities will track each other in order
to use the same scaling for the graph.

  3. In Code mode, the PCIP-SCOPE V/Div is based on the gain of the internal
amplifiers and always returns an A/D code range of -128 to 127.  This allows
the graph use the same integer range for plotting while allowing the
individual channel sensitivities to be different.

  4. Use the "Sample" control to scroll through single data values.  PSCOPEX
displays the numeric values in the Code/Volts box. 

Prior to acquiring data, PSCOPEX needs to know the correct PCIP-SCOPE Base
Address.  If you installed and successfully ran VisualSCOPE, or ran PSCOPEX
before, then PSCOPEX will lookup the last address in the "VISSCOPE.INI" file
and automatically initialize.  If the program doesn't find a valid Base
Address, then it will disable the "Action" group of controls on the front
panel.  (Windows displays disabled controls in a dim gray color.) 

If the you need to set the Base Address, then set PSCOPEX's Base Address
using the analogous procedure as the VisualSCOPE Digital Storage Oscilloscope
User Guide documents for setting VisualSCOPE's Base Address.
