Oscilloscope Review

Performance and User Interface review of Cleverscope and some common oscilloscopes. Reviews the CS328A, Tek TDS2012B, Agilent MSO6012A, Pico 3206/5204, Link Instruments DSO-8502, Bitscope USB310 and TiePie HS3-100.

Screen Shots

Contains a collection of typical screen shots of Cleverscope in action. We have an SPI DAC, E1 telecom data stream, and a video signal.

Digitize Performance

Describes the performance of the 10, 12 and 14 bit digitizers used in the CS328A. Discusses dynamic range, cross talk and noise sources. Displays graphs of typical performance.

Guided Tour

Provides an illustrated guided tour of the Cleverscope application including screen shots and applications.

Triggering Tour

This tour shows you how to use the Cleverscope triggering capabilities, with a particular focus on navigating a composite PAL video signal.

Capabilities Tour

This resource discusses Cleverscope capabilities using common applications such as stepper motor control, CCD camera reading and filter transfer response measurement to illustrate each capability.

Application examples

This short brief discusses using Cleverscope in ATE and Power supply applications. It also covers Cleverscope self-calibration.

Integration and filtering

We have had a few question about using the maths function of cleverscope to do time integrals so here is a step by step guide showing you how to calculate the power consumption of an electronic circuit that draws a variable current.

Sample Signals

This file contains sample full buffer signals for you to look at. Current signals are an SPI DAC being loaded with a new value.

Cscope 4 Channel

The Cleverscope 4 channel application is used to link two CS328/CS328A cleverscopes together to act as a 4 channel scope, with 16 digital inputs. The Four channel application pdf tells you what you need to know.

This is an update, and you need to unzip into the Program Files/Cleverscope directory.

Win98 PI+II Install

Download this .zip file to install Cleverscope v3.309 on Win98 SE - WinXP systems for Pentium I and II processors. NOTE: These platforms are no longer supported, and this is the last version for Pentium I and II processors. This version is identical to version 3512, with the exception of digital graphs. Digital graphs can be displayed in either normal, or large formats, but the plots do not resize to suit the number of digital inputs selected.

Cscope Control LV7.1

Cscope Control VI for Labview 7.1 users to programmatically initialize, acquire and replay signals using the Cleverscope Acquisition Unit. Includes a top most applications 'Simple Scope Example' and 'Bandpass Response' to show you how to use the driver, and an executable version of it, with the Labview build to make it. Includes a pdf describing the vi. Now works with the CS328 and CS328A over USB1.1 or USB2.0.

We have also updated the driver to do stepping of the signal generator in the acquisition unit on a trigger, and automatic playback of a sequential frame capture (with up to 2999 frames) to the calling application. We include a simple application Bandpass Response that shows how this can be used to plot the bandpass response of a network much faster than the standard Cleverscope approach. You will need v6431 or V5331 firmware loaded into your CS328A or CS328.

Now includes external clock support. Includes support for multiple units. Requires firmware v6431 to take full advantage.

Cscope Control 8.2

Control VI for Labview 8.2 users to programmatically initialize, acquire and replay signals using the Cleverscope Acquisition Unit. Includes a top most application 'Simple Scope Example' to get you started.

Control Driver 8.5

Control VI for Labview 8.5 users to programmatically initialize, acquire and replay signals using the Cleverscope Acquisition Unit. Includes a top most application 'Simple Scope Example' to get you started.

Cscope Control DLL

The Cleverscope Control DLL is used by text based languages (C, C++, Delphi etc) to control the CS328 or CS328A acquisition system. To use the DLL you must have Cleverscope installed (as the DLL shares the same run-time library). Follow the instructions in the pdf. See the application example below. Supports the VISA USB interface, and legacy USB drivers.

Simple Scope CVI

This is the Labwindows CVI project version of the Simple Scope application. Load the SimpleScope project to build the project. Simplescope implements a simple graph based oscilloscope with A/B channel gain, Timebase, Trigger voltage and channel, and control of the signal generator frequency and amplitude. It's a useful base for you to begin controlling the cleverscope control driver dll. The zip contains all the files you need (though the cleverscope application will have need to be installed to supply the runtime library). Works with all cleverscopes.

Simple Scope C++

This is a Borland C++ Builder 6 project version of the Simple Scope application. Load the SimpleScope.bpr project to build the project. Simplescope implements a simple graph based oscilloscope with A/B channel gain, Timebase, Trigger voltage and channel, and control of the signal generator frequency and amplitude. It's a useful base for you to begin controlling the cleverscope control driver dll. The zip contains all the files you need (though the cleverscope application will have need to be installed to supply the runtime library).

Simple Scope Delphi

This is a Borland Delphi 5 project version of the Simple Scope application. Load the SimpleScope.dpr project to build the project. Simplescope implements a simple graph based oscilloscope with A/B channel gain, Timebase, Trigger voltage and channel, and control of the signal generator frequency and amplitude. It's a useful base for you to begin controlling the cleverscope control driver dll. The zip contains all the files you need (though the cleverscope application will have need to be installed to supply the runtime library).

Simple Scope VS C++

This is a Microsoft Visual Studios 2005 C++ project version of the Simple Scope application. Load the SimpleScope project to build the project. Simplescope implements a simple graph based oscilloscope with A/B channel gain, Timebase, Trigger voltage and channel, and control of the signal generator frequency and amplitude. It's a useful base for you to begin controlling the cleverscope control driver dll. The zip contains all the files you need (though the cleverscope application will have need to be installed to supply the runtime library).

Simple Scope VS C#

This is a Microsoft Visual Studios 2005 C# project version of the Simple Scope application. Load the SimpleScope project to build the project.
