Cleverscope CS328A 4MB 2-ch 100 MSa/sec + 8-ch Logic Analyzer

Cleverscope Model CS328A is a USB connected, PC hosted oscilloscope and spectrum analyzer with PC based application software

CS328A Acquisition Unit

• Two 10 bit analog channels sampling simultaneously at 100 MSa/sec. AC or DC coupled.
• USB 2.0 Interface to the PC or 10/100Mbit ethernet, depending on option
• Gain automatically set from 20mV full scale to 800V full scale by choosing graph view and probe switch setting.
• Offset automatically set from 0 to ±4 or 40V in 10/100 mV increments by choosing graph view. As an example 20 mV signals may be viewed superimposed on a 3V DC level.
• Analog triggering of the waveform in view with a resolution of 1% of the display height. The analog trigger may optionally be conditioned with a low pass, high pass or noise filter.
• One external trigger, threshold adjustable from 0 to ±20V in 40 mV increments.
• Eight digital inputs sampling at 100 MSa/sec, threshold adjustable from 0 to 8 V in 10 mV increments.
• A hardware trigger system based on a rising or falling edge on any input signal, optionally qualified by a user determined digital input combination and a minimum or maximum trigger duration.
• A rear panel I/O connector with a 100 Mbit/sec 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 are met.
• Enclosure size: 153 x 195 x 35 mm.

CS300 Application Software

• Separate, freely moveable and resizable windows to display the signal, a zoomed signal view, and the frequency spectrum of the signal, and control panel.
• The zoomed signal view optionally tracks the signal view cursor.
• Spectrum analysis with a variety of conditioning windows and display in log or linear format.
• Each signal window includes a time/amplitude tracer, and two markers for comparison purposes. Colours are user definable.
• Signal averaging (exponential, block and peak hold) and low pass filtering.
• Signal measurement, including Peak to Peak, RMS, DC, pulse width, period and frequency.
• 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.
