M1 Oscilloscope Tools™

Analysis

M1 Oscilloscope Tools™ puts more, and more powerful, measurements at your finger tips than you can ever get directly from the scope manufacturer.

With over 250 built-in time-tested and lab-validated measurements, what you need is probably already in there. If not, M1 OT™ includes a simple yet sophisticated framework for adding your own measurements either via Matlab or directly in M1.

M1 OT also includes the most powerful RjDj decomposition tool in the industry... SEEj™ is calibrated, validated, and specified over an enormous range of 'jitter space'. And since M1 OT comes from ASA (the inventor of time-interval analysis using a scope), you can be sure that your analysis is backed by rigorous science and testing.

Enterprise Level Impact

Specifying M1 Oscilloscope Tools™ as a standard in your lab, department, or company can bring numerous important benefits. Because it works on all of your real-time scopes, regardless of manufacturer, you achieve true correlation. In addition, M1 OT™ provides a common format for waveform data and with M1 Reader™ the ability to inexpensively analyze data away from the scope.This creates an easy path to collaboration among the various groups involved in acquiring, analyzing, and consuming oscilloscope data - regardless of where your engineers are located. Even if they can't each have their own scope, every engineer can now have their own scope capability with M1 OT and Reader.

In addition, M1 OT's many productivity-enhancing capabilities will save you money by allowing you to do more work with the engineers and scopes you already have. M1 OT will also bring the scopes you already own up to the software state-of-the-art line for a fraction of the cost of buying a new scope.

Embedded Intelligence

A major consideration in the design of M1™ Oscilloscope Tools™ is to make the most powerful features of the product easily accessible and useful to the new or casual user.  By embedding intelligence directly into the product, M1 OT™ can automatically perform many tasks, from setup of signals and measurements at startup to finding elusive signal integrity issues.

The heart of M1 Oscilloscope Tools v5 is Hidden Anomaly Location™, or HAL™. Think of HAL as your own private signal integrity expert, searching your data and automatically alerting you to potential issues in your signal that you may not have even known to look for. But HAL doesn't just find problems, it can even tell you what might be causing the problems, and suggest how to fix them. If there are no problems, you probably won't even know that HAL is around. But if a measurement seems to be having a problem, HAL will let you know.

Productivity Amplification

Speeding up your measurement workflow has been a central design objective of M1™ Oscilloscope Tools™ from the start. You can significantly increase both your individual and team productivity with M1 OT. The built-in graphical scripting capability allows you to easily automate repetitive tasks, and even create (or use from ASA's online library at no charge) your own compliance tests. Built-in reporting makes documenting your results as easy as pushing a button. M1 OT™ and Reader™ push the boundary of where your scopes can be used from the bench to anywhere your team needs to analyze waveforms.

Any scope, any place, any time.

Waveform Exploration and Debug

M1 Oscilloscope Tools™ makes exploring your waveform easier then ever, using an interface that was designed for maximum ease of use and efficiency while still allowing the power user access to its most powerful features. You can intuitively Pan and Zoom across multiple synchronized domains while focusing on your measurements, not figuring out how to use the tool.

M1 Oscilloscope Tools' debug capabilities provide all the tools you need to easily home in on even the most difficult-to-find problems. M1 OT™ allows you to view the modulation and time domains simultaneously, and provides ways to easily correlate behavior in one domain with behavior in the other. M1 OT's Virtual Deep Memory™ Toolkit will help you make the most of whatever memory your scope has, without having to resort to expensive memory upgrades or even a new scope. Other capabilities allow you to easily analyze 100's or even 1000's of acquisitions and find the one instance of undesired behavior, or analyze how certain parameters vary over very long time scales.

Other Benefits

M1 Oscilloscope Tools™ gives you the ability to break free from the confines of the current oscilloscope software business model. M1 OT™ does more and costs less than any competitive option, and works with all of your real-time scopes regardless of manufacturer. Over the past 10 years, ASA has consistently introduced significant new functionality into M1 OT every 6-10 weeks. With a Software Subscription , you can guarantee yourself access to this unrivaled stream of legendary innovation and rigor.
