2011-12-01 BitScope Model 10 BS10U | BitScope Pocket AnalyzerBitScope Pocket Analyzer is a unique new test instrument combining a powerful Mixed Signal Oscilloscope, Protocol Analyzer, Waveform and Clock Generator, Spectrum Analyzer and Data Recorder in one tiny USB powered device. It offers 10 capture channels (2 analog + 8 digital) with 100 MHz analog bandwidth, 40 MSps logic speed and up to 12 bits analog resolution as well several output channels for its signal generators, triggers and external control signals. Pocket Analyzer is fast with a frame rate up to 100 Hz driving a digital phosphor display. It works just like a quality stand-alone scope. View waveforms, plots, spectra and more on its smooth flowing real-time screen. Even live capture logic data can be viewed this way. Alternatively large buffers support high speed one-shot capture with post-capture zoom, scrolling and measurement, or it can stream direct to disk for off-line replay and analysis. Software is included for Windows, Mac OS X or Linux. Features include mixed signal, storage and sampling oscilloscopes, logic timing, SPI, CAN, I2C and UART packet decoders, a spectrum analyzer, X-Y phase plotter and data recorder. BS10U may be purchased online here. 2011-10-31 Perseus BitScope DSO Version 2.5 DSO 2.5 | Mac, Windows or Linux | Halloween ReleaseBitScope DSO now has support for Intel Macs running the latest version of OS X (10.7, Lion). It's the full DSO application targeted for Macintosh as a native app and it brings the latest features to the Windows and Linux platforms as well. DSO now supports real-time parameter updates, high speed live digital phosphor displays, cursor bands and highlights and a new macro mode for high resolution capture on supported devices. It also adds quick display export, colour coded logic the same as BitScope Logic and many bug fixes and improvements. DSO 2.5 is currently in beta release but it's compatible with all new BitScopes and should also work with older models including BS50, BS300, and BS310. Download the latest version here and email us at dso@bitscope.com any time with questions, bug reports or comments. More big releases in November, stay tuned! 2011-07-05 Mixed Signal Logic Protocol Analyzer BitScope Logic 1.0 | Mixed Signal Logic AnalyzerBitScope Logic is a brand new mixed signal logic and serial protocol analyzer for BitScope. It uses BitScope's built in logic analyzer and performs multi-channel protocol analysis of SPI, I2C, CAN & UART encoded signals. High speed logic analysis across all channels is supported and because it's a BitScope app, it can capture up to 4 analog channels as well. Logic decodes eight channels in two protocol groups simultaneously and shows them next to the waveforms for easy timing analysis. The sequence of decoded data packets on selected channels are shown via a packet inspector for comprehensive data analysis. The auto-ranging analog channels are shown time aligned with logic waveforms & packets allowing sophisticated mixed signal diagnostic work to assist debugging complex systems. BitScope Logic is fast and easy to use, simply point, click, zoom and drag. Check it out here. 2011-06-01 12 Channel Mixed Signal Acquisition System Network BitScope 445 | 12 Channel Mixed Signal Data AcquisitionNetwork BitScope 445 is a rack mountable 4 + 8 channel mixed signal data acquisition system. Also available in a robust stand-alone desktop case this new BitScope offers the same comprehensive set of test & measurement functions as all our other BitScope models. However, we've optimized this one specifically for remote data acquisition and process monitoring applications with a focus on high speed mixed signal data acquisition and IP network connected access. With 4 analog channel and 8 logic timing channels, all of which may be used to capture data concurrently, it provides the ideal basis for industrial monitoring systems. BS445 can acquire buffered framed captured data at a combined data rate of up to 200MB/s or it can stream data at lower rates continuosly. It uses standard IP networking for universal connectivity and is compatible with all BitScope test, measurement data acquisition software. BS445 is available for order online or email us at sales@bitscope.com for a quote for larger systems. 2011-01-31 BitScope Chart Recorder BitScope Chart 1.0 | Data Logging Waveform Analysis SystemBitScope Chart is a new waveform data logger and chart recorder application for BitScope. Chart calculates waveform statistics including DC and AC voltages, frequencies and periods from the signals appearing on the BitScope's inputs and plots them in real-time. It can also save to disk these statistics and samples of the waveforms for later analysis. Chart leverages the very high bandwidth of BitScope so it can work with RF signals just as easily as slow changing DC trends. Whether monitoring the output power of a radio transmitter or the temperature cycle of a multi-circuit airconditioner, Chart is ideal. Chart is highly automated and easy to use and like BitScope Meter it has advanced manual controls for those applications where fine tuning the way in which the data is captured, analyzed and recorded may be required. Chart is compatible with most BitScopes and may be downloaded for Windows, Debian/Ubuntu or RedHat/Novell PCs. An online user guide is included in the package. |
