A multitude of powerful and flexible triggers are provided to meet any need. Use an advanced SMART Trigger™ to isolate a specific event of interest, and narrow the long capture around that event. Trigger on what you expect (widths, glitches, video, logic patterns, etc.) and also trigger on unusual signals (dropouts, intervals, runts, slew rates). LeCroy's exclusion triggering can exclude normal signals and capture only the abnormal ones, speeding up the debug of your circuits and systems. Trigger on signals down to 1 ns in width (500 ps for width and glitch trigger). Use an "A" condition to qualify a "B" trigger. Digital triggering is provided with the MS Series Mixed Signal Oscilloscope option. (Some advanced triggering capability is optional).
Keep your testing efficient with a thoughtfully designed user interface that provides the busy engineer with a GUI that is smooth, transparent, and easy to use.
2.5 Mpts/Ch of fast acquisition memory standard (10 Mpts/Ch optional) provides long capture time-up to 400 ms at full sample rate, and longer times at lower sample rates. This greatly assists in debugging common circuit problems such as clock/data issues and timing errors. Use the touch screen to quickly "draw a box" around the area of interest and zoom all channels to the desired area. Then, adjust zoom position and ratio from the front panel or the graphical touch screen UI. WaveSurfer Xs long memory is also thoughtfully designed to respond quickly, even when measurements, math, or serial decoders are being used.
WaveStream provides a vibrant, intensity graded (256 levels) display with a fast update to closely simulate the look and feel of an analog oscilloscope. Turn WaveStream ON or OFF, and adjust intensity, using the front panel knob. Use it only when you want to.
Searching for data is very helpful, but wouldn't it be better to Search for something you can't trigger on? WaveScan allows searching in a single acquisition using more than 20 different modes. Or, set up a Scan condition and scan for an event over hours or days, and perform some action when it is found. For further information you can view a PDF on the WaveScan features or a video demo of what WaveScan can do to help you increase your analysis capabilities.
Add high-performance mixed signal capability to a WaveSurfer Xs. Capture digital signals up to 500 MHz with up to 50 Mpts/Ch memory, 2 GS/s and 18 or 36 channels.
Quickly and easily isolate specific serial data events on your embedded controller for better understanding and faster debug. Set up trigger conditions in binary, or hexadecimal formats. Use the EXT input for the clock signal and keep an additional analog oscilloscope channel open for other uses. Trigger on DATA in specific locations of long I2C EEPROM reads. Get complete control of your debug process and finish faster.
LeCroy's new ZS Series of high impedance active probes provide full bandwidth at the probe tip, and the high impedance (1 MΩ || 0.9 pF) you want. A variety of standard and available probe tip and grounding accessories are offered to meet any requirement. What's more, ZS Series probes are available for a very affordable price. Use the ZS1000 with 200 to 600 MHz WaveSurfers and the ZS1500 with 1 GHz WaveSurfers to give full system bandwidth at the probe tip.
