Nuts & Volts - January 2006

• Scaling and offsetting to view 50mV full scale offset to any value between – 8 and + 8 V.

• Gain automatically set from 20mV to 800V full scale.

• Offset automatically set from 0 to ± 4 or 40V in 10/100 mV increments (e.g. 20 mV superimposed on 3V DC).

• Analog triggering to 1% of display ht, with LP, HP or noise filter.

• Ext. trigger, adjustable from 0 to ±20V in 40 mV increments.

• Simultaneous 8 x digital inputs sampling at 100 MSa/s (threshold 0 to 8 V;

10 mV increments)

• Hardware trigger on rising or falling edge on any input signal, digital input combination and a min or max duration.

• A rear panel I/O connector with a 100 Mbit/s bi-directional LVDS/RS422 link, and three RS422 outputs defaulting to sampling started, trigger received and sampling stopped.

• Each channel (two analog, trigger and 8 digital) includes 4M samples of storage, providing up to 40 ms of simultaneous storage for all channels, with 10 ns resolution.

• The sample storage may be allocated as between 2 to 1000 frames varying in size from 2M to 4000 samples. These may be used as a history store for reviewing previously captured signals, or to capture up to 1000 trigger events with a minimal 2 µs inter-frame delay, while maintaining time relative to the first trigger for all succeeding frames.

• 25 MHz 5th order Anti-alias filter for improved Spectrum Analysis performance.

• Triggered LED and Power LED on the front panel.

• Input power range from 6 ~ 12V, 5W provided by a universal mains adaptor.

• Low jitter (1 ps rms) sampling clock for 70 dB spurious free dynamic range.

• Self calibration to ensure DC performance specifications is met.

• An optional plug-in signal generator, 0-10MHz, sine, square or triangle; sweep.

Cleverscope software resources include:

• Separate, freely moveable and resizable windows to display the signal, a zoomed signal view, and the frequency spectrum of the signal, and control panel.

• Spectrum analysis with conditioning windows - log or linear.

• Signal averaging (exponential, block and peak hold) and LPF.

• Math calc including + - / * sqrt, integral, differential, and filtering.

• Signal msmt, including Pk-Pk, RMS, DC, pulse width, T and F.

• Copy and Paste graphic or data to other applications.

• Save and Open from disk.

• User defined units, signal names and scaling (offset and gain).

• Text annotation of each graph.

• Web server for remote viewing of LAN connected unit.

leverscope CS328

PC oscilloscope and logic analyzer

Cleverscope CS328 is a new USB- connected PC based mixed signal oscilloscope which brings benefits to the user that are unavailable from traditional stand-alone oscilloscopes and most scope-adapters. This innovative approach delivers an unbeatable combination of affordability, ease of use and documentation of test results with the simple "Copy and Paste" simplicity. Display analog, real-time math-modified, and digital signals together!

• 2 x 10-bit, self-calibrating A/D channels - 100 MSa/s simultaneously!

• 8 digital inputs - 100 MSa/s simultaneously!

• Huge 4M Samples storage per channel – drill deep!

• Simple "Copy and Paste" into other applications such as Word, Excel

• Highly flexible mixed-signal triggering, scope and spectrum display.

• View small ac signals on large ac or dc offset

• Built-in math capability - multiple display: A-B, invert, differential, integrals, etc.

• Includes all probes cables power supply, s/w, manuals.

• Optional Signal/sweep generator CS700 Sine, Square: 0.2Hz–10MHz

Triangle: 0.2Hz – 1MHz -

Frequency Shift, Phase Shift - great for filter, amplifier testing! +$199.00

“CS328 is absolutely wonderful, I’m thrilled to bits with it. The software is light-years in front of that (other PC scope). The Math function makes me almost believe I’m using a LxCxxx.”
