What people are saying about M1
"ASA
has brought the highest standards of applied engineering to clock
issues. Their hands-on expertise is unparalleled and results in
measurements you can trust and actually use. There has been a steady
commitment to improving their tools; the results have been excellent.
Almost as important is the personal integrity ASA brings to
interactions with a wide range of very serious, often competing,
customers. ASA scrupulously observes confidentiality of sensitive data
while having access to a wide range of leading edge designs. ASA has
also supplied an important link from clock chip designers to users,
serving both as an unbiased technical resource." - Pete Rawson, MTL Engineer, Hewlett-Packard
"As
we see it, the M1™ System has been established as a standard for jitter
testing at our customers over the past couple of years. [In regard to
ASA vs. WaveCrest], as jitter testing is one of the non-trivial tasks
of bench characterization, correlation between customers and
semiconductor vendors it is much easier if you work with a common
setup." - Hans M. Hilbig, Engineer, Texas Instruments, Freising, Germany
"Based
upon my personal experience, and representing myself, not Intel, the
calibration of the HP oscilloscope and setup of the M1™ System had the
lowest jitter level of any system that I have ever used. I was able to
resolve the jitter measurement to hundredths of femto seconds." - Dennis C. Newmeyer, FA/FI Development Engineer, Intel Corporation, Chandler, AZ
"I've
been involved with the subject for many years, and I can honestly say
that no other competitor understands the subtleties and complexities of
jitter better than ASA. Just look at ASA's long list of customers. ASA
has worked with the best clock designers in the business and taught
them a lot." - Errol Shanklin, TIA Product Marketing Manager, HP
"In
summary, M1 v4 pretty much sets itself apart as the industry's first
universal scope application that will work on oscilloscopes from all
four major scope makers. Moreover, because it can be transferred from
realtime scope to realtime scope, running the same algorithms across
all, it's inherently cost effective." - Alex Mendelsohn, eeProductCenter
Regarding the offer of a free Waveform Viewer:
“With
many vendors engaging in difficult and user-hostile licensing it is
most refreshing to see an honest offer such as yours. You should have
GREAT in your experience rating list.” - Gary Schneider, Hi-Techniques, Inc.

An open letter to customers and partners of Amherst Systems Associates.
As
an Agilent District Sales Manager, and previously as a Field Engineer
for over 10 years in Silicon Valley, it has been a major source of
pride to represent products and services from a company with high
quality and integrity. Over the years, an extension of that pride has
been working with Amherst Systems Associates.
Amherst Systems (aka ASA) has complemented our products and delivered excellent value with their M1™
product. This product has commanded a market leadership position by
virtue of its superior performance in the area of clock distribution
and jitter analysis. Additionally, the expertise that ASA delivers in
their installation and training makes their consulting in design and
test methodology as valuable as their products. This combination of
products and services keeps ASA on the leading edge with respect to
design starts in the ever-evolving microprocessor business.
ASA
aligns well with Agilent's style of offering and delivering solutions
since their organization very much mirrors our own. With personnel in
the areas of sales, applications and system solution implementation, we
can work in synch with ASA at each step along the way.
I highly recommend your working with Amherst Systems Associates.
