ASA Corp. Adds Powerful, Unique New Waveform
Decode Functionality to M1 OT
ASA today announced the release of unique new serial decode tools for
their M1 Oscilloscope Tools software family that enables faster and easier
decode and debug on Tektronix, Agilent, LeCroy or Yokogawa
oscilloscopes.
Amherst, MA USA…. July 1, 2008
Amherst Systems Associates Inc (ASA Corp.) today announced the release of
M1-OT v5.02, which includes powerful new waveform decode functionality and
multi-margin capability for Eye Masks, among other changes. This is a free
upgrade for any M1 user with an active Software Subscription.
When you're trying to get to the bottom of a problem in your encoded
waveform, being able to see when things happen... what values are present or not
present... how often certain values or groups of values come up, can provide
important insights into rapidly drilling down to the source of the problem.
M1-OT v5.02 has several unique new views to do this, which include viewing
your encoded waveform fields (address, data, control when appropriate) versus
time (i.e. see when that value/values occur) as well as viewing how the range of
values distribute in a histogram.
Another useful new exploratory mode occurs when searching
for values of a field (e.g. frame starts, data values, addresses, R/W, etc.).
Decode Search in M1 allows you to search on individual or multiple values, for
example, multiple address values for I2C or multiple PID valus in a LIN
waveform... you can move from one specific event to another and M1 will keep the
decode-timing view synched with the M1 ScopeView as well as any other vs-time
views. This will allow you to rapidly associate potentially pathological
waveform features by their proximity to the event. These unique insights can be
the difference in rapidly finding the root cause of a problem vs lingering on it
for days.
M1’s new Decode functionality provides customers a common Decode and
Debug process independent from specific manufacturer oscilloscope software from
Tektronix, Agilent, and LeCroy. ASA’s M1 Oscilloscope Tools can deliver a more
cost-effective option to all scope users, as well as the only product in the
marketplace that can provide correlated results because engineers can now use an
analysis engine that is identical no matter whose scope they are using. Further
organizational efficiencies are contributed by other commonalities such as a
common data format, a common interface, and a common automation standard.
U.S. Availability and Pricing
M1-OT v5.02 will be available on July 7, 2008. M1-OT employs
"scalable pricing", where the actual price level is determined by the scope with
which you will use it. Pricing ranges from $995US to $7995US in five steps. For
more information, please see the product web site.
