Propeller Based 5 Channel Clock Generator CG5
We (Esterline Research and Design) are getting close to releasing our latest product. It is a propeller based 5 channel clock generator.
Here is what it does:
Generates 5 independent square wave (3.3V) frequencies from 0.02Hz to 128MHz.
BNC connectors for the 5 outputs and 1 reference input. (SMA also available).
For each channel you can specify the frequency, duty cycle(<4MHz), and phase offset.
Has 10MHz reference input so the frequencies generated are not affected by the xtal offset.
Shows a graphic representation of the wave forms produced.
USB powered with a fully interactive GUI for windows.
Internal command structure is documented allowing you to write custom software to control it.
At this point are looking for comments and suggestions.
The GUI software can be used without the hardware if anyone is interested in giving it a try. You do need to install a couple Microsoft libraries though.
We would like to have a couple beta testers from the Parallax forum.
If you have the test equipment (multi-channel scope and/or logic analyzer) to assess the CG5, and are interested please send me a PM.
If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions please post them here.

This looks great! Good to see the new company is moving forward.
I don't have any projects in line to properly shake down your new equipment, but I can see how the software installs on a variety of platforms. Windows XP 64 Bit, Windows 7 Prop 64 Bit, Windows 8.1 32 Bit.
Hopefully you will get to the point where you could fund the MI-100 for sale. That would be sweet.
Regards,
Jim
