TEMECULA, CA - OCTOBER 30, 2006 - CWAV, a Southern
California-based electronics company, announced today the
addition of the USBee DX Test Pod (DX) to its product family of
PC based test pods that verify analog voltage levels and digital
logic used in electronics. The DX builds on CWAV's award-winning
USBee AX Pro Test Pod and offers 2 analog and 16 digital
channels, click and drag instant decode of embedded bus
transactions (including I2C, SPI, ASYNC, CAN, USB low and full
speed, I2S, SM-Bus, PS/2 and 1-Wire), digital voltmeter, data
logger, digital signal generator, pulse width modulator,
frequency counter, frequency generator, I2C Controller, and pulse
counter. In addition, users are able to create applications to
control the DX with the USBee Toolbuilder source code and
library.
The DX offers engineers, students and home hobbyists a powerful
and portable way to test and debug electronic products and
designs. "The DX builds upon the AX Pro's success and offers
additional features to help engineers test and control electronic
circuit designs quicker." says Tim Harvey, principal of CWAV.
"Decoding the data from many of the common embedded busses
eliminates the time consuming task of counting bits and lets
users debug their designs instead of reverse engineering bus
protocols."
The DX is a compact device (exact size: 2.25" x 1.5" x .75") that
attaches to a PC using a USB cable. Depending on the PC
application used, the DX becomes a collection of various
electronics test tools. The Oscilloscope/Logic Analyzer has 2
analog and 16 digital signals sampling 100+ million samples at up
to 24Msps and dual 8-bit ADCs for the +/-10v inputs. Users can
also Click-and-Drag to instantly decode embedded bus transactions
(I2C, SPI, ASYNC, CAN, USB low and full speed, I2S, SM Bus,
1-Wire and PS/2).
Additionally, the DX includes a 2 channel, +/-10V digital
voltmeter, 16 digital and 2 analog channel data logger, 16
channel digital signal generator, 16 channel pulse width
modulator, 16 channel frequency counter, frequency generator that
generates sets of common frequencies, I2C Controller to control
I2C devices using simple text scripts, remote controller to
easily control your hardware using a PC, 16 channel pulse counter
with gating control, and USBee Toolbuilder source code and
library to create your own test tools.
The USBee DX Test Pod is priced at ,495.00 and comes standard
with all necessary cables, clips, leads, software, and
accessories. The DX is compatible with USBee Data Extractor,
CWAV's new software bundle for streaming and unlimited capture of
USB, CAN, SYNC, SPI, I2C, I2S, SM Bus, 1-Wire, Parallel, Serial,
and PS/2 bus traffic. The Data Extractor bundle is ,995.00.
About CWAV
CWAV was honored with the 2006 EE Times Annual
Creativity in Electronics (ACE) Award for Ultimate Product of the
Year in Test & Measurement for their USBee AX Test Pod. ACE
Awards recognize electronics engineering's most innovative
companies and technologies as determined by large-scale peer
review. EE Times publisher and editor in chief Brian Fuller
commented, "CWAV's USBee AX Test Pod won 2006's Ultimate Product
award in Test & Measurement category because of its ability to be
used as an I2C decoder just as easily as a digital voltmeter. As
one reader explained, 'It's great that we are now seeing less
expensive options that allow a computer to take the place of an
oscilloscope, function generator and logic analyzer.'"
CWAV's mission is to be the leader for compact and affordable
electronic test tools. Designed with personal computer resources
in mind, students, engineers, technicians, and hobbyists
currently use CWAV's products in a variety of industries
throughout the world.
Software for the DX is provided online at www.usbee.com and runs
in demonstration mode without a test pod attached to a PC. CWAV's
products are available for purchase at www.usbee.com or from
CWAV's international distributors. Detailed product
specifications are available online or by request. Contact CWAV
