Reasons to Buy/Upgrade to M1™

Benefits in the Lab

• The Best Correlation Story in the Industry -- M1 is the only family of Oscilloscope Tools that provide measurement correlation regardless whether you are using Agilent, LeCroy or Tektronix scopes.
• TestScript™ -- Only M1 provides TestScript, so that users can easily automate repetitive sequences of measurements and develop and share their compliance tests at NO COST. M1 TestScripts are available for download from our Forum at no cost, including the compliance test tools. M1 TestScripts work regardless of which real-time scope vendor that you are using. You don't have to accept non-standard, proprietary and costly compliance test methods any more. M1 lets you take a collaborative approach to application authoring of applications development. This greatly increases the variety and breadth of applications that are available.
• Unmatched Precision -- M1 delivers the most precise timing/jitter analysis available in the industry.
• Consistency & Productivity -- With M1, the user interface is consistent regardless of the oscilloscope manufacturer - there is no need to re-learn or adjust to a different interface when you switch scopes.
• Expert Insight -- M1 gives you access to the most insightful debug and characterization capabilities in the industry, including: vastly superior Multi-Acquisition Analysis including Record/Playback, Event Triggering/RunUntil Conditions, LogicView with parallel/serial triggering, integrated ScopeView, Jitter Spectrum analysis, margin testing on Eye Pattern Masks, unique differential measurements (including thresholding and crossover voltage), and many more.
• Ease-of-Use with Built-In Intelligence -- M1 is the only tool that was designed for the beginner, but without sacrificing either functionality or usability for the advanced user. AutoMeasure™ is unlike any other solution in the number of measurements it makes with ZERO button pushes. Bailout Bag gives you a way to easily and quickly save your data, setups and environment when you find your problem and create your own personal measurement environment. M1 Reader™ lets you (or a partner) use the full M1 analysis capability from a remote location via a very inexpensive analysis-only version of M1 Advanced™.
• FULLY Validated and Calibrated Rj/Dj Decomposition -- M1 is the only tool to offer Rj/Dj decomposition that is in the process of being validated on 9.5 million jitter cases, including repetitive data, random data and live traffic.
• Applications -- M1’s test authoring capabilities are vastly superior from any other solution available today.

Benefits Enterprise-wide

• Return on Investment -- M1 is the only solution that minimizes your long-term financial investment in scope applications software .
• Value -- Your initial purchase of M1 will cost you less than every “want-to-be” equivalent tool. Factor in the cost of all of the proprietary compliance tests that you won’t have to buy if you use M1, and you will quickly realize how your ROI (see above) in M1 will start to add up. No one innovates as much or as quickly as ASA Corp. The software subscription service will save you thousands over the next year, while keeping your analysis capabilities up-to-the-minute.
• Economy - M1 extends the service life of your existing fleet of scopes. It pays for itself on what you save versus buying new scopes.
• A Consistent User Interface – The same AutoMeasure and GUI on all M1 products regardless of scope. No more relearning time every time any team member has to switch scopes. Less switching costs when you have to share scopes. No scope offers a consistent user interface; even within the same manufacturer.
• A Versatile Portfolio -- Only M1 offers a scalable family of tools for addressing diverse user needs with the right product. "One product fits all" is not what you will hear at ASA Corp. M1 is designed for a variety of customer use models.
• The Benefit of Experience -- Only M1 offers its user a 25-year "total" focus on clock/timing engineering/analysis.
• Platform-Sensitive Pricing – M1 Advanced™ is now a family of M1 Advanced Oscilloscope Tools™ that are priced based on the scope on which they operate. M1 Advanced™ has always been ASA Corp’s advanced, innovative and premier product. That does not change. Now, you can get M1 Advanced at price points that are better aligned with the type of scope on which you want to use M1™. This platform-sensitive pricing is a pro-customer, pro-collaboration model -- and is yet another innovation by ASA Corp.
• Collaboration – M1 offers a number of ways for engineers to collaborate more effectively, e.g. M1 Reader™, TestScript, our Forum , etc.
• Training – For 3 unit trade-ins, special group training programs are also available.
• Standards Body Program -- And only ASA Corp offers a Standards Body Program to help standards bodies obtain M1™ at no cost.
