ETC M595 Overview
M595 is a dual channel USB oscilloscope compatible with the USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 interfaces. The ease of installation and connection to a computer makes the M595 extremely portable. The device is connected to a computer using standard USB 2.0 cable. It is powered from a power adaptor compatible with European, UK, USA and Australian power systems (part of the standard package).
The device inputs are accessible via BNC connectors and are compatible with standard probes (with minimum of 30 pF compensation range). Internal storage (32k per channel) is used as a fast data buffer to store a measured waveform.
The software is the part of the M595 package. The latest version of the software is made available on our website. All standard features of modern DSOs such as, hold acquisition process, hold-off, zoom, saving/loading the waveforms for future use, export to clipboard, printing the results together with scope settings, are available.
The fast data transfer offers extremely rapid display refresh (creating the impression of an analog instrument).
Four standard acquisition modes are available: AUTO, NORMAL, SINGLE, MANUAL. The trigger event is created by a dual level triggering system equipped with a digital pulse length filter and an event counter on each level. The channel A, channel B and the external trigger input can be activated as a triggering system source. The threshold of the channel A and channel B triggers are settable in the whole range of the scope screen. The threshold of the external trigger is fixed to about 1.5V and is TTL and CMOS compatible. This sophisticated triggering system permits the display of waveforms with very complicated trigger events.
The time base in 1:1 display mode (no zoom) is settable from 1ns/div to 100ms/div in sequence of 1-2-5. It is possible to set the time base from 125ps/div to 6.54s/div using different zoom settings. The oscilloscope screen can be resized according to your monitor resolution (minimum 800x600).
Two optional software packages will be available (at the beginning of 2009): the M595 Development kit, which will allow you to write your own application using the device, and the M595 Roll mode, which will convert the oscilloscope into a data logger. The amount of acquired data depends on the size of the computer hard drive.
