LeCroy Debuts WaveRunner Xi Series Oscilloscopes

LeCroy has brought its big display/small footprint form factor to its WaveRunner line of digital oscilloscopes. These have bright, 10.4” displays only 6” deep, good for a crowded bench and engineers who need a big display to better understand their circuit. Footprint is 1/3 to ½ the size of other units in its class.
Boast sample rates up to 10 GS/s (interleaved) on the 600 MHz unit, and standard 2 Mpt/Ch memory (with optional memory up to 24 Mpt/Ch interleaved). These sample rates (at least 10X oversampling) result in better signal fidelity for fast edges or high frequency signals, and ensure accurate timing measurements when using all channels.
Mixed-signal option (MS-32) allows engineers to add 32 digital channels, each with 1 Mpt/Ch (32 Mpts total), to a four-channel WaveRunner Xi, which enhances mixed signal and embedded controller debug capability.
Available in 400 and 600 MHz bandwidths. 400 MHz unit is available in four channels only; 600 MHz is available in two- and four-channel units. All models sample at 5 GS/s on all channels simultaneously, and the 600 MHz model interleaves to 10 GS/s. All models provide 2 Mpts/Ch of memory (4 Mpts/Ch interleaved), which equates to 400 ms capture time (at full sample rate). Up to 12 Mpts/Ch (24 Mpts/Ch interleaved) of memory is available.
Feature powerful analysis capability, fast viewing mode, local language UI, touch-screen inteface and built-in pointer, enhanced trigger capability and one PP008 probe per channel.
