Entry-level DSO series

LeCroy Corporation has launched a family of digital oscilloscopes for entry level to mid-range users. The WaveJet series of eight models has 2- and 4-channel DSOs with bandwidths of 100, 200, 350 and 500 MHz.

It has a maximum sample rate of 2 GS/s combined with the 500 K channel memory. The memory provides a capture time of 250 µs at maximum sample rate. The units feature a 19 cm colour display and USB connectivity.

The front panel provides one-touch access to the horizontal, vertical and, trigger menus and push-button knobs automatically set delay, offset and trigger level.

Colour matched channel LEDs indicate which channel is active and whether they are controlling maths or zoom traces.

The peak-detect feature can capture 1 ns glitches and provide resolution to an equivalent 100 GS/s with equivalent sampling mode. Roll mode can watch variations in low-speed signals. Page mode provides deeper insight into captured waveforms and the ability to scroll through a history of captured waveforms to isolate glitches, runts or other signal abnormalities.
