Simple and efficient debug scopes cost from only £600

WaveAce series now include 4 Channel models;
range from 40 to 300MHz

LeCroy Corporation’s popular WaveAceTM oscilloscope line now includes 4 channel models from 60 to 300MHz and adds a new 2 channel, 40MHz unit. The 4 channel scope provides 10kpts/ch memory and up to 2GS/s sample rate; the 40 MHz version provides 4kpts/ch and a sample rate of up to 500MS/s. All models offer long memory, colour displays, extensive measurement capabilities, and advanced triggering to improve troubleshooting and shorten debug time. With USB host and device ports, plus a LAN connection, the WaveAce oscilloscopes easily connect to a memory stick, PC or printer for saving data or remote control. Combined with the streamlined, time-saving user interface, these features make the WaveAce oscilloscopes the ideal tools for affordable design, debug and troubleshooting from 40 to 300MHz.

Deep Feature Set for Better Debug

Available in bandwidths of 60, 100, 200 and 300MHz, the new 4 channel oscilloscopes provide a maximum sample rate of 2GS/s and up to 10kpts/ch memory or 20kpts when interleaved. The long memory allows users to capture full sample rate acquisitions that are two to three times longer than the competition. With 32 built-in automated parameters, including advanced timing parameters for skew, phase and edge-to-edge measurements between channels, WaveAce broadens the ways a user can understand and analyze waveforms. Additional features such as Pass/Fail testing, user definable digital filters and a waveform sequence recorder simplify and shorten debug time.

Remote Control via USB and LAN Ports

A new remote control command set has been implemented in the 4 channel units to make WaveAce more useful and versatile. This modern remote control command set provides access to all of the WaveAce controls, functions and measurements from a remote PC via the rear panel USB or LAN ports. These connections also allow the user to remotely view the waveform display and access a virtual front panel.
Saving and Documenting Results

Documenting results and saving screenshots, waveforms and setups is simple with WaveAce. Internal storage can hold up to 20 waveforms and 20 setups. Mass storage can be achieved by connecting a USB memory device directly to the front panel of the oscilloscope. The rear panel USB port allows for direct printer connection to quickly generate hard copies of the screen image.

Easy to Use for Faster Debug

The high performance and large feature set of the WaveAce is controlled by an intuitive user interface with 11 different languages and streamlined front panel. All important controls and menus are accessed from the front panel with a single button press. All position and offsets can be reset by simply pressing the knob, pressing the V/Div knob will switch between fixed and variable gain and pressing the T/div knob will toggle between zoom modes. Buttons on the front panel that open and close menus or switch modes are backlit to let the user know exactly what mode the WaveAce is operating in.
