Copyright ©2005-2009 ASA Corp 8 SEEj™ Circumvents Other’s Vulnerabilities Slow sample rate Aliasing Sub-sampling Throughput on long patterns Can’t do “live traffic” (i.e. random data) signals Can’t see “time-variant” signals –Under-estimates jitter in presence of time variant jitter Rare event capture Limited debug capabilities

Copyright ©2005-2009 ASA Corp 9 Live Traffic No limitation in M1 SEEj™ on live traffic Recommend using either convergence indicators or a Plot MAQ column of your RjDj statistics –Ensures that enough statistics are taken to get the precision that you specify to M1™ –Allows you to watch the convergence process, which can be insightful

20. A MHERST S YSTEMS A SSOCIATES, INC. Copyright ©2005-2009 ASA Corp 20 ASA Corp’s Rj/Dj Recommendations The idea of a ‘Best Method’ is invalid under MJSQ… To reiterate, under MJSQ, they are all acceptable. However, From the perspective of which method is “philosophically aligned” with what the spec actually wishes it could measure (edge jitter distribution)… »ASA recommends SEEj™ SEEj™ is the default, as well as the method selected when you press the “Best” button in M1™

Copyright ©2005-2009 ASA Corp 22 Conclusion "I am comfortable saying that ASA has done more work and has provided more innovation in this space than every other competitor combined. We don't just look at a small handful of cases and then decide we're done. It's an ongoing quest for the very best possible solution. Calibration.. neural nets.. visualization tools.. wide-area validation.. NOBODY but ASA is giving you this kind of science or innovation. And NOBODY but ASA is giving you a way to get THE SAME method on all your scopes, no matter who made them. THAT is a genuine correlation strategy and it's only available from one place." - Mike Williams, President ASA Corp
