Oscilloscope software adds debugging power to test pods

Virtual Instrumentation developer CWAV Inc has announced the release of the USBee Suite, an enhanced Logic Analyzer and Oscilloscope software application that runs on the complete line of USBee Test Pods, the hardware part of this PC based oscilloscope system.

The USBee Suite is oscilloscope application software specifically designed for USBee Test Pods. It includes in-line graphical bus decoding, automatic measurements of waveform data, graphical bus setup and importing and exporting capability.

USBee Suite measures electronic signal timing using the edge snapping timing cursors or the Insta-Measure feature to instantly calculates the width, period, frequency and duty cycle of the waveform under the cursor. This tool also allows users to add, delete, resize and reorder waves on the screen.

The USBee Suite has decoding support for serial busses such as I2C, SPI, Async, 1-Wire, CAN and USB. Bus traffic is decoded in-line with the waveforms and can be displayed on top of, underneath, or instead of the voltage versus time waveform. Placing the cursor over the decoded traffic gives a see-through image that shows the voltage transitions that made that byte. Available busses depends on the model of USBee used.

Free download of the USBee Suite is available at www.USBee.com and runs in demo mode without a USBee attached to the computer.

The hardware measurement modules i.e. USBee Test Pods are available in the price range starting from $139 up to $1495 depending on the features (US prices).
