USBscope50 Pocket sized USB Scope

USBscope50 is a new concept in USB DSO (Digital Storage Oscilloscope) products.
PC based oscilloscopes deliver many user benefits including flexibility, ease of use and economy.

The USB interface has developed into probably the best and most widely implemented PC peripheral connection method and is a natural choice for the DSO (Digital Storage Oscilloscope).

USBscope50 combines very small form factor with high performance normally associated with much larger bench type products.
Power for the DSO (Digital Storage Oscilloscope) is provided via the USB interface connector, further simplifying the user experience.

Most USB DSO (Digital Storage Oscilloscopes) implement 2 channels but the USBscope50’s modular design allows the user to choose to configure a single channel or up to 4 channels.
Elan’s proprietary synchronisation system ensures tight Oscilloscope channel to channel matching and concurrent triggering.

USBscope50 is small enough to be carried in a shirt pocket or laptop bag but uses standard BNC oscilloscope probes.

USBwave12  Function Generator
                     12.5MHz USB pen-style

USBwave12 is a new concept in USB function generator products.
PC based function generators offer many user benefits including flexibility, ease of use and economy.

The USB interface has developed into probably the best and most widely implemented PC peripheral connection method and is a natural choice for the function generator.

USBwave12 combines very small form factor with high performance normally associated with much larger bench type products. Power for the function generator is provided via the USB interface connector, further simplifying the user experience.

USBwave12 is small enough to be carried in a shirt pocket or laptop bag but uses a standard BNC connector.

• USB Interface
• Comes with Windows USBwave12 software for 98SE/2K/XP
• Sine, square and triangle wave output
• 0 to 12.5MHz frequcy range with a 0.2Hz resolution
• 0 to +/-10V amplitude range with a 20mV resolution
• 0 to +/-10V offset range with a 20mV resolution
• 50 Ohm output impedance
• Output can also be tri-stated to protect sensitive circuitry whilst the function generator is set up
• Uses Direct Digital Synthesis (DDS) for excellent stability
• User programmable frequency and phase
• Output is galvanically isolated from USB port to 300V Cat II
• Up to 4 units can be snapped together. The outputs will be synchronised and phase shiftable
• Same form-factor as the Elan USBscope50 Digital Oscilloscope (see above)
• Can be snapped together with a USBscope50 to form part of a suite of instruments
• Body is approx. 75mm x 31mm x 17.5mm

USBpulse100  Digital Pulse/Clock Generator
                       100MHz USB pen-style

USBpulse100 is a new concept in USB Digital Pulse/Clock Generator products.
PC based pulse generators deliver many user benefits including flexibility, ease of use and economy.
They are an invaluable tool during design and debug of digital circuits and can be used to quickly test the behaviour of a circuit under different input frequency and duty cycle conditions.

The USB interface has developed into probably the best and most widely implemented PC peripheral connection method and is a natural choice for the Pulse Generator.

USBpulse100 combines very small form factor with high performance normally associated with much larger bench type products. Power for the Pulse Generator is provided via the USB interface connector, further simplifying the user experience.
The output is galvanically isolated from the USB bus / PC ground meaning that pulse / clock signals can be injected differentially from the USBpulse100 into the circuit under test.

USBpulse100 is small enough to be carried in a shirt pocket or laptop bag but uses a standard BNC connector.

The USBpulse100 is a new product available from June 2006

• USB Interface
• Comes with Windows USBpulse100 software for 98SE/2K/XP
• Square wave 50% duty output or variable duty cycle using combination of PLL and 28-bit programmable divider
• 11.6mHz to 100MHz frequency range
• 128 bit pseudo random bit stream generator mode clocked from programmable source
• Output drive level programmable in 256 steps
  from 1.5V to 5.0V which supports most popular
  logic interface standards
• 3ns rise and fall times typical
• 50 Ohm series output impedance typical

• Output can be tri-stated and inverted
• Continuous run or single shot capability with pulse widths from 10ns to over 80s, clock bursts from 1 pulse to millions of pulses or pseudo random bursts from one bit to millions of bits
• Output is galvanically isolated from USB port to 300V Cat II
• Up to 4 units can be snapped together. The outputs can be synchronised and phase shifted
• Can be snapped together with a USBscope50 to form part of a suite of instruments
• Body is approx. 75mm x 31mm x 17.5mm

USBcount50  Frequency/Period Counter 
                      50MHz USB pen-style

USBcount50 is a new concept in USB Frequency counter products. PC based frequency counters deliver many user benefits including flexibility, ease of use and economy. They are an invaluable tool during design and debug of digital circuits and can be used to quickly to verify generated frequencies, pulse widths and duty cycles.

The USB interface has developed into probably the best and most widely implemented PC peripheral connection method and is a natural choice for the Frequency Counter.

USBcount50 combines very small form factor with high performance normally associated with much larger bench type products. Power for the Frequency Counter is provided via the USB interface connector, further simplifying the user experience. The input is galvanically isolated from the USB bus / PC ground meaning that signals from unit under test do not need to be referenced to the ground of the PC.

USBcount50 is small enough to be carried in a shirt pocket or laptop bag but uses a standard BNC connector.

• USB Interface
• Comes with Windows USBcount50 software for 98SE/2K/XP
• Measures frequencies up to 50MHz using internal reference periods of 0.1s, 1s or 10s. 100MHz count rates also possible if input signal amplitude is sufficient to trigger input threshold
• Measures periods from 10ns to over 268s using internal reference clocks of 100MHz, 10MHz or 1MHz. Using period mode allows reciprocal measurements for frequencies down to 4mHz.
• 28-Bit internal counter gives huge 268 million : 1 dynamic range...almost no need to ever change range !
• Input supply programmable to from 1.5 to 5.0V in 256 steps supporting most popular logic interface standards. Input is over-voltage protected to 30V
• 1Meg // 20pF input impedance
• Input is galvanically isolated from USB port to 300V Cat II
