M1™ Waveform Tools™ vs Previous M1™ Products
|
One thing you can do with the charts is illustrate the huge leap in
usefulness we have made from version 2 and version 3 of M1 (just a
jitter tool). These are shows in the charts below. In fact, if you
compare the M1 v2 product chart
to the product charts of its "current version" competitors, you will
quickly decide that M1 v2 (released in the late 90's) did more than
most of M1 Waveform Tools' current competitors!

M1 v2 was really just a first foray into basic serial data measurement in the late 90s. It was the first application for a real-time scope that
measured jitter in serial-data streams (i.e. could interpret data as
data). It was light on debug, and had no automation, Rj/Dj or mask test
features. It was very complete for signal-to-signal timing, as well as
repetition-interval analysis (powerful PLL analysis method) and a wide
range of supported marker-based analysis. It supported all the
important scopes of the day but won't work with many modern ones.

M1 v3 had as its most notable features most of the Rj/Dj methods sanctioned by the MJSQ
and several important compliance test capabilities (then called ASMs,
or application-specific measurements). Subscription capability was an
important addition to the portfolio as was a capability to work within LabView.
