CWAV Introduces the USBee SX Digital Test Pod
Affordable Logic Analyzer and Signal Generator with Hundreds of Millions of Samples Uses PC Memory
TEMECULA, CA – September 2, 2004 — CWAV announces the addition of the USBee SX Digital Test Pod to the USBee product family. The USBee SX Digital Test Pod is an affordable high performance USB High-Speed based pod that functions as a deep sample buffer Logic Analyzer with I2C, SPI and Async bus decoding and Digital Signal Generator all in one compact and easy to use unit.
The USBee SX Digital Test Pod utilizes the USB High-Speed bus to turn an existing PC into a high powered digital logic analyzer or signal generator that can store enough samples to fill available PC memory. “The USBee SX was designed specifically for students and home hobbyists, and incorporates our deep sample buffer streaming technology,” states Tim Harvey, CWAV’s Director of Marketing, “which enables hundred-million-sample traces. Since the USBee SX pod can capture or generate hundred-million-sample waveforms, it opens the door to a type of control and analysis that was not cost feasible before for many embedded developers.”
CWAV has designed the USBee SX system to take advantage of already existing PC resources. The USBee SX pod streams data over the High-Speed USB bus to and from the PC, allowing the PC to perform all of the triggering and data storing. This makes possible an affordable USBee SX, while pushing the sample storage capabilities orders of magnitudes beyond that of traditional dedicated logic analyzers or signal generators. The USBee SX Digital Test Pod can utilize available PC memory as the sample buffer, allowing selectable sample depths from one to many hundreds of millions of samples.
Included in the Logic Analyzer module that runs on the USBee SX is an I2C, SPI and Async serial bus decoder that can extract the data from these busses from your captured traces. The USBee SX Digital Test Pod can capture and generate samples up to a maximum of 24 million samples per second depending on the PC configuration. The USBee SX Auto-Calibration feature automatically reduces the sample rate to ensure accurate and reliable timing, even on systems with slower processor and USB bus speeds.
The USBee SX Digital Test Pod provides each of the different test and control capabilities depending on the software that is run on the PC. The software for the USBee SX is provided for free at www.usbee.com and will run in demonstration mode with no USBee SX Pod attached to the PC. The USBee SX is priced at $295 USD and can be purchased directly from www.usbee.com or from one of our international distributors.
