Seeking
Experienced Oscilloscope Sales Engineers
ASA is
seeking talented T&M sales engineers with experience in selling
mid to high-end scopes for Tek, Agilent or LeCroy for both
direct employment and in an
innovative Virtual Field
Organization (VFO). The VFO is a tool for these times. We
can't directly hire everyone, but VFO is intended to create
significant income opportunity for those who can impact our sales.
And it gives ASA the opportunity to help out some of the real
high-performers we have worked with over the years, while
providing a qualified scope sales engineer the ability to build
his own job at ASA (the company that invented the scope software
market in the 90's).
Given
the devastating conditions of this economy, we are limiting this
strictly to sales engineers that have been laid off. To learn
more about the openings and the program, please visit
www.m1ot.com/field-program-2009.htm .
ASA Customer
Skills Training
ASA
will be launching a range of new training programs starting
September 1, 2009. The ASA Customer Skills Training programs are a
comprehensive, progressive (i.e. one program builds on others) set
of modules that employ multiple learning modes (classroom,
hands-on lab, and when certification is being made available,
testing.) Modules are available or are being developed, that
cover Product Operation, Applications Knowledge, and select
Advanced Topics. Examples include:
-
M1 Basic
Flight School where
new-users are shown how to use the vast range of capabilities
built into M1
- Debugging techniques
- Automation - Architecting a
scalable M1-based automation system, authoring TestScripts and
compliance tests, etc.
- Topics in Measurement
Workflow
- Migrating from a
multi-vendor, multi-title software environment to M1OT.
- Deploying/managing Site and
Enterprise Installations
- And many more..

.
Laid off, or
know an engineer who is?
Based
on the current state of the electronics industry, ASA has
developed our
M1 Recommender Program (MRP) to provide a bit of relief by
recognizing the value of what you know. Under the MRP,
ASA shares a piece of the revenue
with YOU on M1 sales that you help us to discover.
More
details about the M1 Recommender Program
can be found on ASA's website at
www.m1ot.com/MRP.htm
.
Upcoming
Features
The next minor release will include the following additions to functionality:
DDR2/3 Read/Write separation in an EyeView - When analyzing DDR2/3 traffic that includes both Reads and Writes, the difference in the timing relationship between strobe and data creates significant problems for a standard eye diagram or eye mask. This new feature will allow the user to have the option to select in the EyeView to display only those bits associated with Reads or only those bits associated with Writes.
FFT of a
Multi-Signal measurement - This feature will allow you to
examine the spectral content of the Delay behavior between two
signals, rather than just the spectral content of each signal
separately. With this feature,
you'll now see FFTView as an additional display choice in the last
step of the New Measurement wizard when a Multi-Signal measurement
has been selected.
M1 Rental
Benefits
If your organization frequently uses rental
scopes for an extended period, take a look at the opportunity to
save thousands of dollars per month by using M1OT instead of ScopeCo's software with these rental oscilloscopes. The additional
charges for software can easily exceed $1,500 per scope per month
if your requirements include compliance testing such as DDR2, DDR3
or PCIe. With M1OT now available from several rental partners, you
will be able to both increase your productivity and lower your
monthly expenses.
Organizations relying heavily on rented scopes
should also consider that ASA Volume Licensing might be
immediately self-funding for their company. If 10 to 15 rental
scopes can be identified with software, the M1 Site License will
immediately save you money - and that is before taking advantage
of the organization-wide impacts that can be realized by having a
common tool architecture with advanced debug, team collaboration,
off-line processing and able to be deployed anywhere within an
entire campus for a low monthly fee.
For more information on the M1 Rental program or
our Volume licensing program, contact ASA at
info@amherst-systems.com.
