SISAM Protocol

Friday, July 14, 2006

SISAM uses RTS/CTS flow control for reading command and DTR flow control for sending acquired data. This means that PC should set RTS before sending commands and watch for CTS (e.g. use CTS sensitivity option). When PIC goes into data acquisition mode, it sends an ASCII string starting with Y4-MODE: followed with new mode description. […]

Simplescope

Wednesday, July 12, 2006

Simplescope is a simple solution for data acquiring, signal visualizing and analysis. It is build up from three components: SISAM – PIC-based dual channel sampler SISAM1 a COM interface to SISAM SISAN – Windows application that controls sampler, acquires and visualizes logical signals Please follow respective link to read more about components and their capabilities. To […]

SISAN Overview

Tuesday, July 11, 2006

SISAN – SImlpe Signal Analyser – is a Win32 application capable to control Simple Sampler hardware, acquire sampling data, store sampling data to a file, and visualize logical signals reading data either from a file or directly from the sampler. SISAN provides basic facilities for timeline navigation, beam and surface look customization.

SISAM Overview

Friday, July 7, 2006

SISAM – SImple SAMpler – is a simple PIC-based hardware for precision dual channel data acquiring with moderate resolution (up to 500 ksps in continous mode and up to 5 Msps for very short sequence). It uses USART and SSP for sampling signals and software routines for RS232 communication. USART is configured for synchronous master […]
