LeCroy WaveRunner 6 Zi oscilloscope

The LeCroy WaveRunner 6 Zi oscilloscope is said to be the most versatile scope in the 400 MHz to 4 GHz class. It has deep memory, 40 GS/s sample rate, low noise and fast operation and has a 12-bit analog to digital convertor, deep memory of 256 Mpts/ch and good DC accuracy specifications.

The instrument has a wide range of application packages, advanced triggering to isolate events, a user interface developed for quick and easy navigation, a wide range of probing options and fast performance.

It offers the most tools for serial data analysis. With over 17 trigger, decode and compliance solutions, it can address problems with powerful views and automated tools. Measurement toolset ProtoSync combines the oscilloscope view with a simultaneous view of data link layer decodes on the same instrument.

The family features a signal path that offers unmatched signal fidelity with low noise. This performance is augmented by an offset and timebase delay adjustment to allow signal and amplifier performance assessment and zooming on vertical and horizontal signal characteristics.

Designed for the medical, motor vehicle, power and electromechanical markets, the device has higher resolution and measurement precision compared with 8-bit alternatives.

A combination of high bandwidth edge and 10 different SMART triggers, four-stage cascade triggering, measurement trigger and triggerscan are all standard. The trigger offers an option to qualify a trigger event based on a qualified measurement with great resolution.

A high-speed serial trigger enables triggering on up to 3 Gbps serial patterns of up to 80 bits in length. A full range of serial triggers (I²C, SPI, UART, RS232, Audio (I²S, LT, RJ, TDM), CAN, LIN, FlexRay, MIL-STD-1553, SATA, PCIe, 8b/10b, USB2 and many others) is also available.

The 12.1″ high-resolution WXGA wide screen can be rotated 90° to optimise the display for viewing digital signals, jitter tracks, eye diagrams and frequency plots.
