The AX relies on the USB 2.0 bus to turn an existing personal computer into a high powered oscilloscope, logic analyser and digital signal generator.
CWAV designed the AX system with personal computer resources in mind.
Able to stream data to and from a personal computer, the USBee AX test pod performs all triggering and data storing.
'This is essential and makes this product affordable', added Harvey.

Offered at three price points, the AX comes in 'Standard', 'Plus' and 'Pro' packages.
The AX-Plus builds on the Standard's strengths and adds a signal generator and USB, 12C, SPI and Async decoder modules.
The AX-Pro contains all pieces included in the Plus package with the addition of a data logger, frequency counter, remote controller, PWM controller, frequency generator, pulse counter and the USBee AX ToolBuilder source code library.
The source code library allows programming in Visual Basic of Visual C.
