WaveRunner 8000 oscilloscopes feature OneTouch gesture control
Chestnut Ridge, NY. Teledyne LeCroy has introduced the WaveRunner 8000 oscilloscopes with bandwidths from 500 MHz to 4 GHz. WaveRunner 8000 marks the debut of the next-generation MAUI, the company’s “most advanced user interface.” The addition of OneTouch to MAUI makes measurement setup easy, providing users faster time to insight into complex signal abnormalities.
The scopes include the standard collection of math, measurement, debug, and documentation tools. Application-specific packages enable streamlined debugging for common design/validation scenarios. Options include digital filtering, spectrum analysis, and device and switching-power-supply analysis. The advanced customization option enables user-defined parameters and math functions, providing unique and limitless analysis capability.
The WaveRunner 8000 and MAUI with OneTouch extends Teledyne LeCroy’s tradition of user-interface innovation. MAUI with OneTouch optimizes convenience and efficiency by enabling all common operations with a single touch of the display. MAUI with OneTouch has drag-and-drop actions to copy and set up channels, math functions, and measurement parameters without lifting a finger. Common gestures such as drag, drop, pinch, and flick facilitate instinctive interaction with the oscilloscope. The “Add New” button quickly enables a new channel, math, or measurement while traces and parameters turn off with a flick of a finger. MAUI with OneTouch delivers a unique set of touchscreen gestures that simplifies measurement setup and brings unsurpassed efficiency and intuitiveness to oscilloscope operation.
Teledyne LeCroy offers a variety of optional software packages to equip WaveRunner 8000 for all serial data test requirements ranging from automated standards compliance packages to flexible debugging toolkits. A suite of protocol-specific measurement and eye diagram packages provides insight into serial data anomalies. These unique packages complement the powerful trigger/decode software, providing the ability to extract decoded data and plot over time, perform bus timing measurements, and create eye diagrams for testing against standard or custom masks. The -MS models have 16 digital lines, which can be used for trigger, decode, and measurements for analyzing timing irregularities or for general-purpose debug of digital designs. This allows analog channels to be reserved for observing physical layer defects.
With a sample rate of 40 GS/s, WaveRunner 8000M models enable detailed edge reconstruction, even for signals with the fastest rise times. Additionally, long memory allows maintenance of the maximum sample rate in longer timebases. The “M” models’ 128-Mpt memory is suitable for debugging long-term behavior on high-speed serial data buses.
Available immediately, the WaveRunner 8000 is available in six different models with U.S. list prices ranging from $14,000 to $29,900. Additionally, -MS versions of each model are available with 16 digital channel sampling at 1.25 GS/s for an additional $3,000.
