For all that effort I could make a PCI > wireless USB bridge and develop drivers for them. Add an external antenna attachment, an optional signal amplifier and voilá, a $5000 "speciallized field test equipment". --- End quote --- there you go, and that's 5% of every sale commision to me for the idea 8) |

soon Cypress will have FX3 chips available. The FX3 GPIF bus (32bit) is running with 100MHz, that's enough for real time 400MSs usb dataloger/scope or 32port 100mhz logic analyzer, that's should be enough for most ppl. Of course it is BGA chip, so i'm not expecting so many cheap china/whatever scopes/logic analysers. |

It is hard for Chinese cloners to make cheap clones with poor performance out of these parts. |

I warned him off but I don't know whether he listened. I hope he did but don't I know because he left shortly. I didn't know him much but he did come across as the arrogant type. Are there any decent USB 'scopes? --- End quote --- Yes, but they are usually quite pricey. Even Agilent makes them. Picoscope make some good ones, and CleverScope come to mind. Dave. |
