New 200-500 MHZ digital storage oscilloscope series

5 May 2004 Test & Measurement Security Services & Risk Management

So much of the value of an oscilloscope lies in what the user can see, which is why LeCroy's new line of WaveSurfer digital storage oscilloscopes have a touch screen display that is 250% larger than other oscilloscopes in the same class, according to the company. The WaveSurfer series has a bright 26 cm SVGA touch screen display, is only 15 cm deep and has a small footprint, so location on a bench is easy. It also provides long record capture and superior documentation and connectivity capability.

The oscilloscopes offer both two- and four-channel instruments with bandwidths of 200, 350 and 500 MHz. All six models offer a 2 GSa/s maximum sample rate with a long 250 µs capture time at full sample rate (250 kpts/channel). Industry-leading features in this class of oscilloscopes include a 10/100 Base-T network port, three USB 2.0 ports and one 500 MHz passive probe per channel. If AC mains power is not always available, a battery pack is optional, allowing operation of the oscilloscope without the need for mains power for use outside a lab and service centre, eg, for automotive testing.

The footprint of the WaveSurfer is the same size as other oscilloscopes in this class, yet the company says display area is 2,5 times larger. The result is far superior signal viewing capability that lets the user see signal details in ways that are not possible with small screen oscilloscopes. WaveSurfer also includes connectivity and documentation features that have not been previously available. These allow users to document their work quickly and easily by connecting directly to the office network and e-mailing files from the oscilloscope, or saving files directly to a network drive, USB memory stick or other USB device.

For engineers who want more than the standard oscilloscope capability, LeCroy also offers memory options, an advanced math package (including additional math functions, chaining of math functions, and parameter math) and an application specific package for mask testing of electrical telecom signals.
