Does the DSA71254C and Windows 7 allow a 3rd application to be added called Powerlight . I tried this application and now it's reading Error and the DSA is turning on and off.
I added the 3rd party application to the DSA because of not turning off because of a poweroutage. I also added a UPS Powersupply so if a poweroutage were to happen it wouldn't be a problem for the DSA71254C.

Thanks for contacting us.

The scope does have an open operating system (Windows) that broadly supports the installation of third party applications.

Connecting the scope to a UPS is a good idea, but I'm a bit skeptical of software that sounds like it may be interacting with startup/shutdown functionality of the scope as that may introduce unexpected behavior.
