CWAV Enters Domestic Distribution Agreement With TestEquity

CWAV initiates market expansion to promote industry’s only four functions in one test instrument; combining protocol analyzer, logic analyzer, oscilloscope and signal generator.

TEMECULA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CWAV, an award-winning provider of easy-to-use, cost-effective integrated electronic test instruments, has completed a distribution agreement with TestEquity LLC, a leader in test and measurement distribution. TestEquity will carry the USBee RX and DX products, the only test instruments that combine four functions; protocol analyzer, logic analyzer, oscilloscope and signal generator, into a single test system.

“TestEquity performed a thorough analysis of the USBee RX product line and found it to be a compelling solution as a serial bus protocol analyzer”

CWAV’s most popular test instrument, USBee RX, has the unique ability for firmware, test and application engineers to see serial protocol data in human readable format, rather than in HEX format as other mixed signal oscilloscopes (MSO). By eliminating the tedious tasks of constantly converting HEX data to meaningful interpretations, developers and verification engineers can be more productive in their debug procedures, eliminating man-days or man-weeks of effort. Being extremely small, portable, and affordable, every firmware and electronic hardware engineer can have a debug system at their desk, eliminating wasted time for scheduling lab time or accessing shared test instruments.

“Expanding our sales channel footprint domestically is an important strategy for CWAV for 2013,” said Tim Harvey Founder and President, CWAV. “We are extremely excited to have TestEquity as one of our early distribution partners, particularly with their stellar leadership in providing exceptional service and leading-edge solutions to their customers.”

“TestEquity performed a thorough analysis of the USBee RX product line and found it to be a compelling solution as a serial bus protocol analyzer,” said Peter Kesselman, VP Product Marketing of TestEquity. “The advanced protocol display capabilities of the USBee RX, in addition to the integration of a logic analyzer and oscilloscope, should save our customers a significant amount of time and effort.”

The USBee RX Platform is the ideal platform for sophisticated high level debug and product development. Unlike competitive offerings, serial protocols such as I2C, SPI, Async, SDIO, 1-Wire, I2S, and CAN are included with the USBee RX, as well as support for any custom protocols. With protocol to wire behavior on a single time correlated screen; external triggering with multiple test equipment is no longer needed, enabling the capture of symptoms and root cause in a single trace. With support up to 600 MHz bandwidth, 18 digital channels, 2 analog channels, 16 million samples per channel, and 128 trillion samples per channel compressed, the USBee RX exceeds capabilities of rival standalone MSOs while being 85% less in cost.
