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.
