Welcome to the Future... |

Systems Associates is proud to announce the most revolutionary new capability
in oscilloscope measurement and usefulness software since ASA invented the
category more than a decade ago. Click

HIDDEN ANOMALY LOCATOR™ (HAL)
|
Imagine
having your own personal Signal Integrity consultant looking over your shoulder
at every acquisition you take, looking for issues in your signal that you may
have missed or not even thought to look for, or even just finding those issues
much faster than you could have on your own.
Would that be useful to you? |
|
Imagine
an intelligent software SI
consultant that can automatically uncover a single metastable edge across
hundreds of acquisitions (or any of a dozen other types of signal anomalies,
like ringing or frequency drift or PLL divider issues or…) and immediately
bring it to your attention. That would
certainly be less expensive than bringing in a consultant, wouldn't it?
|
|
 |
Imagine
then, with one click, being taken to an online resource where you can find
information on the causes, impact, and possible solutions to the particular
type of problem found. Do you think you
might be able to do your job faster/better as a result?
Say
hello to HAL, the Hidden Anomaly Locater in M1 Oscilloscope Tools v5. HAL can do the hard work of finding those
elusive signal problems for you, but go ahead and take the credit yourself. HAL won't mind.

USER INTERFACE UPDATES
|
|
ASA
has made a number of changes to the UI for M1 v5, designed to make the
interface even easier to use. The active
view is now more obviously highlighted in color. Color is also used to visually tie the active
view to the controls that will affect that view. We've added the ability to minimize the
thumbnail views even more, as well as other more subtle changes that maximize
the screen area for the views you're most interested in. Some controls have been repositioned and
grouped for easier access as well. |
Scope
Animation
| M1
v5's new Scope Animation feature gives the user the feel of a rapidly-updating
oscilloscope front-panel from within M1's ScopeView™ display. It even includes variable persistence to help
you spot those visual clues pointing to possible problems with your
waveform. There's also none of the dead
time between triggers where something can slip through like there is when
looking at the scope's display, since Scope Animation is generated from a
single continuous acquisition record. |
|
Zoom
Position Indicator
|
The
new Zoom Position Indicator improves on M1's award-winning waveform exploration
capabilities by providing an at-a-glance indication of what portion of the
entire acquisition record is in the current view window in a ScopeView or
TimeView™. Waveform navigation is also
made simpler by the ability to rapidly move the current view window by dragging
the Indicator and paging left or right by clicking within the Indicator. |
