Keithley Instrument's New 32-Bit Digital Storage Oscilloscope Application Requires No Programming.Business Editors CLEVELAND--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 7, 2000 Keithley Instruments Keithley Instruments (NYSE: KEI) is a measurement and instrument company headquartered in Solon, Ohio. Keithley develops, manufactures, markets and sells highly accurate instruments and data acquisition products, as well as complete system solutions for high-volume production , Inc. (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :KEI) announces a new version of its VisualSCOPE(TM) product, an intuitive Windows(R) application that captures and analyzes waveforms and transfers data and graphic images to other Windows applications with as few as three mouse clicks and no programming. Used with a Keithley data acquisition board and DriverLINX driver software, VisualSCOPE produces displays that are the same as those of a standard benchtop oscilloscope oscilloscope (əsĭl`əskōp'), electronic device used to produce visual displays corresponding to electrical signals. Displays of such nonelectrical phenomena as the variations of a sound's intensity can be made if the phenomena are . This allows operators to take advantage of previous experience and minimizes training time. Within minutes of installation, VisualSCOPE will be &uot;Up &Running&uot;, allowing users to acquire, analyze and archive analog data Data that is recorded in a form that is similar to its original structure. Contrast with digital data. See analog. on their Windows 95/98/NT Refers to all 32-bit versions of Windows prior to Windows 2000. It implies Windows ME and Windows 2000. It specifically excludes Windows 3.x. See Windows. operating systems Operating systems can be categorized by technology, ownership, licensing, working state, usage, and by many other characteristics. In practice, many of these groupings may overlap. . This new 32-bit Windows software provides more information from available data than ever before by displaying one or two live channels, plus up to two previously saved or calculated channels. Analysis is facilitated with cursors that allow the user to directly measure the time, amplitude and frequency values of acquired signals. VisualSCOPE supports 14 automatic, real-time waveform measurements and comes with a signal calculator for waveform math. Global settings, such as threshold references for pulse duration In radar, measurement of pulse transmission time in microseconds; that is, the time the radar's transmitter is energized during each cycle. Also called pulse length and pulse width. and time base, provide the flexibility to easily tailor measurements to individual needs. A wide range of automatic features allows VisualSCOPE to be used as a primary signal acquisition system, or to complement other data acquisition programs. Automated data presentations in the list below can be combined with built-in statistics and math functions, or combined with user-defined functions. Presentation formats include: - Most prevalent high voltage The term high voltage characterizes electrical circuits, in which the voltage used is the cause of particular safety concerns and insulation requirements. High voltage is used in electrical power distribution, in cathode ray tubes, to generate X-rays and particle beams, to , except transients - Most prevalent low voltage Low voltage is an electrical engineering term that broadly identifies safety considerations of an electricity supply system based on the voltage used. While different definitions exist for the exact voltage range covered by "low voltage", the most commonly used ones include "mains , except transients - Maximum voltage, including transients - Minimum voltage, including transients - Root mean square (RMS (1) (Record Management Services) A file management system used in VAXs. (2) (Root Mean Square) A method used to measure electrical output in volts and watts. 1. RMS - Record Management Services. 2. ) voltage - Peak-to-peak voltage - Average voltage - Period - Frequency - Width of positive pulse - Width of negative pulse - Rise time of edge - Fall time of edge - Duty cycle VisualSCOPE includes several productivity enhancers that save time by recalling configuration settings and accelerating report generation. Its SAVE/RECALL capability retains all display and measurement settings and allows waveforms to be saved to disk, along with test comments, for later display with live waveforms. Report writing is accelerated by directly sending signal data and graphic images to a favorite word processor or spreadsheet, or by using standard cut/copy/paste functions. A report can be on a supervisor's desk within minutes of observing the test data. Pricing and Availability. VisualSCOPE is a $149.00 value, but in accordance with Keithley's practice of bundling software with its data acquisition boards, VisualSCOPE is available as a free download from Keithley's web site at www.keithley.com/daqsoftware.
