What's new in Cleverscope 4.6999 Update

May 2, 2018
  • Fixed up issues with sequence display, saving and loading for .apc, binary and text files.

New in Cleverscope 4.6997 (Oct 17, 2016)

  • Minor Update to fix Circuit Configuration not active if CS1070 being used in 1R mode. Made LC tracer display in Ohms only. Requires firmware 6469 to control the CS1070. Fixed Amplitude being set to 10mV if in PSU Gain/Phase, and amplitude sweep not Auto.

New in Cleverscope 4.6996 (Jul 6, 2016)

  • added FRA LC cursor which displays L or C value on an impedance plot.

New in Cleverscope 4.6995 (Jul 6, 2016)

  • improved the a FRA interpolate array A/B to fill more correctly, and also to take into account repeated capture, and not clear the array at the start of every capture. Fixed up a problem with unwrap phase that meant you couldn't see the phase of a single capture after running the scan

New in Cleverscope 4.6994 (Jul 6, 2016)

  • added ability to route the digital inputs to either or both Chan A and Chan B for spectrum display. Added FRA signal information. Added Signal Information for FRA, DDE and logging to text or excel file.

New in Cleverscope 4.6992 (Jul 6, 2016)

  • big overhaul of FRA state system to make acquisition faster and more reliable. Dealt with errors at the start of the scan, and now choose bandwidths so we handle 1 and 2 starting numbers properly. Fixed up FRA Unwrap Phase so it works properly. Tried to make a better estimator for the Auto Amplitude. Made a method to convert the auto amplitude into a table. Changed the FRA control panel to make it clearer.

New in Cleverscope 4.699 (Jan 13, 2016)

  • Fixed up double save when Auto Save is ON and Auto Get is ON. Also stopped Sig Gen Display from opening during Auto Open.

New in Cleverscope 4.698 (Nov 11, 2015)

  • Improved the Frequency sweep list so that frequencies are on BW boundaries. Updated BW to allow for 10, 20, 50 and 100 steps per decade. Fixed up Inductance and Capacitance values so they are not scaled by the phase angle. Fixed up a permanent offset in the Frequency graph.

New in Cleverscope 4.696 (Jan 13, 2015)

  • Minor Update to fix probe and Rcal compensation not being used during repeated sweep. This version includes Power Specific FRA analysis - Gain/Phase, PSRR, Output and Input Impedance. See explanatory Videos. Controls the CS1070. Now saves FRA response to a text file. Requires and includes firmware 6469.Use Rom Loader to load it.

New in Cleverscope 4.695 (Dec 22, 2014)

  • 4.695 Major Update includes Power Specific FRA analysis - Gain/Phase, PSRR, Output and Input Impedance.
  • Controls the CS1070.
  • Now saves FRA response to a text file.
  • Requires and includes firmware 6469. Use Rom Loader to load it.

New in Cleverscope 4.694 (Dec 12, 2014)

  • Major Update includes new FRA control pages specific to Power Supply use - PSU Gain/Phase, PSU PSRR, PSU Output Impedance and PSU Input Impedance. Integrates the CS1070 power amp. Improves help and user control. See the FRA page. Requires firmware 6469 to control the CS1070.

New in Cleverscope 4.692 (Oct 7, 2014)

  • Minor Update allows two linked Cleverscopes to be used with two instances of the Cleverscope App (rename one of them) and set one to Master, and other to Slave via Settings/Acquisition Settings/Link Output.

New in Cleverscope 4.691 (Jul 17, 2014)

  • Update to Automatic Capture performance. Improves the update rate for 1-20 second capture periods. Allows Auto capture of 10+ seconds. Requires new firmware 6467 to be installed. Improves the FRA BW estimation when using

New in Cleverscope 4.690 (Jul 1, 2014)

  • Update to FRA capability - added low impedance shunt measurement capability for measuring impedance down to 1 mOhm - useful for PCB ground and power plane measurement. Improved the auto amplitude estimation method to reduce phase noise.

New in Cleverscope 4.689 (Jul 1, 2014)

  • Update to FRA capability - added probe and jig compensation storage. Added Persistence to Spectrum. Can now select which plot to trace. Fixed loading and saving of FRA plot to disk. Includes ability to stop scroll wheel use when PicKit used. Fixed NaN freq display which stops cursor from working. Added FRA Open Circuit capacitance compensation.

New in Cleverscope 4.688 (Jul 1, 2014)

  • Update to FRA capability - added jig compensation storage.

New in Cleverscope 4.686 (Jul 1, 2014)

  • Stream update - includes selection of stream to export. Includes Sampling Clock stability selection.

New in Cleverscope 4.685 (Jul 1, 2014)

  • Updated the Cleverscope Application to improve auto ranging for FRA amplitude.

New in Cleverscope 4.684 (Jul 1, 2014)

  • Updated the Cleverscope Application so it controls Excel 2013 correctly when logging signal information.

New in Cleverscope 4.683 (Jul 1, 2014)

  • New:
  • Includes FRA control panel for plotting Amplitude, Gain/Phase, Impedance, Capacitance and Inductance Plots. Useful for testing Power Supplies, amplifiers, and characterizing components. Uses full 65Mhz range of CS701 sig gen. Requires firmware update to 6466 for CS701 control.

New in Cleverscope 4.682 (Jul 1, 2014)

  • New:
  • Includes Streaming capture of up to 300 G samples to disk. Set Sample Rate in Settings/Acquisition Settings. Set storage location in File Options. Includes control and calibration for CS701 Sig Gen. Requires firmware update to 6466 for CS701 control. 4682 fixes a fault in 4681 while loading pre 4681 .apc files. Go to the video page to see how Streaming to disk works. Streaming supports sample rates of 250 sps to 1.5 Msps.

New in Cleverscope 4.681 (Jul 1, 2014)

  • New:
  • Includes Streaming capture of up to 300 G samples to disk. Set Sample Rate in Settings/Acquisition Settings. Set storage location in File Options. Includes control and calibration for CS701 Sig Gen. Requires firmware update to 6466 for CS701 control. Go to the video page to see how Streaming to disk works. Streaming supports sample rates of 250 sps to 1.5 Msps.

New in Cleverscope 4.674 (Jul 1, 2014)

  • New 'View/Displays are Docked' command. Check this option, and all windows will move together relative to the Cleverscope Control Panel. Minimize the Control Panel, and all windows will close. Restore Control Panel, and all previously open windows will restore. Also improved Get Frame number of samples to be exact when dt>10ns. Improved some displays so we display greater than the requested number of samples to fill the display. Needs firmware 6465 for the Get Frame improvement only.
