• Denies users access to the WaveSurfer’s operating system and hard drive
• Allows for use of peripherals and USB memory devices
• Eliminates the ability to minimize or exit the WaveSurfer application

In some situations, such as a student lab or where an oscilloscope is shared between many users, it may be advantageous to limit user access to the oscilloscope’s operating system and hard drive. In these cases the WaveSurfer 400 series oscilloscope’s WS-LOCKOUT option can be installed. This option prevents users from minimizing or exiting the WaveSurfer application, as well as denying remote control of the WaveSurfer. In addition the WSLOCKOUT option prevents the user from changing any of the operating system settings and from accessing the hard drive. While operating a WaveSurfer with the WS-LOCKOUT option, data such as screen captures and waveforms can be saved to a USB memory device.
