High-definition oscilloscopes

28 November 2012 Test & Measurement

Teledyne LeCroy introduced two series of high-definition oscilloscopes with HD4096 high definition technology. The HDO4000 and HDO6000 acquire waveforms with high resolution, high sample rate and low noise, and produce waveform displays that are cleaner and crisper with 16 times more vertical resolution than traditional 8-bit instruments.

The instruments are available in bandwidths from 200 MHz to 1 GHz. All HDO models sport a large 12,1” touch-screen display and intuitive interface to enhance operation, and also provide powerful debug tools, plus a full complement of automatic measurements and waveform math capabilities.

These tools include WaveScan search and find, history mode waveform playback, sequence acquisition mode and LabNotebook report generation. Spectrum analysis and power measurement software packages extend the oscilloscopes’ capabilities while leveraging their 12-bit architecture with its wider dynamic range and improved measurement precision.

HD4096 high-definition technology is rooted in high-sample-rate 12-bit ADCs; amplifiers with high signal-to-noise ratios; and a low-noise system architecture. This technology enables high-definition oscilloscopes to capture and display signals of up to 1 GHz with high sample rate and 16 times more resolution than other oscilloscopes.

In addition to HD4096 technology, the HDO features Teledyne LeCroy’s ERES (Enhanced Resolution) filtering, which enables users to gain up to three additional bits of resolution for 15-bit vertical resolution.

HDO4000 oscilloscopes feature a sample rate of 2,5 GSps with up to 25 Mpts/ channel of memory (up to 50 Mpts/channel when interleaved) in two- and four-channel models from 200 MHz to 1 GHz.

The HDO6000 oscilloscopes available in four-channel models deliver sample rates of 2,5 GSps; a maximum 250 Mpts/channel memory, and bandwidths of 350 MHz, 500 MHz and 1 GHz.

All HDO models have a 12,1” touch display that gives users an easy means of controlling channels, trigger settings, and math and measurement functions.
