Version 12 includes virtual softkeys for many legacy instruments. If the knob or button on your old scope is broken, the IntuiLink control panel allows you to change vertical scale, horizontal resolution, and trigger levels via mouse clicks.

This is the flagship feature. Once installed, an "Agilent" or "IntuiLink" toolbar appears inside Microsoft Excel.

Before the era of USB thumb drives on every oscilloscope, getting a screen image was painful. IntuiLink 12 solves this by allowing you to capture the instrument's display bitmap and paste it directly into Microsoft Word or PowerPoint. This is invaluable for writing test procedures or compliance reports.

: Allows users to save and restore instrument configurations directly from the PC, enabling consistent measurement setups.
