USB adapter turns PC into oscilloscope
A new USB2.0-connected PC-based mixed-signal oscilloscope adapter has 14bit dual-channel A/D conversion and advanced maths functions.
Cleverscope CS328A-8101401 is a new USB2.0-connected all-in-one PC-based mixed-signal oscilloscope adapter which brings benefits unavailable from traditional stand-alone oscilloscopes, and is more sophisticated than other PC scope-adapters with its 14bit dual- channel A/D Cleverscope CS328A-8101401 has two 14bit self-calibrating A/D channels, sampling at 100Msample/s simultaneously

Dual-core MCU is made for industrial control
A novel industrial SoC microcontroller contains two ARM 946E cores, two CAN channels, two 10/100Mbit/s Ethernet MACs and a versatile motion control logic capability.
Eight digital inputs are provided too, allowing digital sampling at 100Msample/s simultaneously with analogue capture - useful for thorough equipment debug and evaluation.
CS328A-8101401 is an innovative test tool which delivers a combination of affordability, precision, ease of use and documentation of test results with "Copy and Paste" simplicity.
You can display real-time analogue, maths-modified waveforms as well as digital signals simultaneously - using the optional internal signal generator as your swept-frequency source if needed - and easily transfer results into other applications such as Word, Excel, etc.
CS328A- 8101401 can also be used as a sophisticated, automated production-line test tool.
Cleverscope CS328A-8101401 offers flexible mixed-signal triggering, scope and spectrum display comparable to high-end bench equipment - you can trigger from either analogue channel or a combination of digital inputs.
Useful offset capabilities allow you to see small AC signals on a large AC or DC offset.
The software's built-in maths capability - accessed by just typing in an equation - allows CS328A-8101401 users to display multiple modified waveforms: add or subtract channels, square root, integral, differential, filtering, digital signature triggering, etc.
Users find that the easy-to-use software interface is "light- years in front of other offerings" and maths functions like these are only available on expensive standalone scopes.
An optional plug-in signal/sweep generator CS700 provides useful test signals: sine, square: 0.2Hz - 10MHz; triangle: 0.2Hz - 1MHz; with frequency, DC offset and sweep capabilities.
These are suitable for measuring filter responses or audio amplifier testing.
Cleverscope CS328-8000 PC scope adapter is available now from stock from Saelig at US $1642.
Optional internal CS700 signal/sweep generator is $249.
Also available are versions with slightly less capability (10/12bit; 4Mbyte buffer; 4/8Msample/s) from $999.
