Description
Many oscilloscopes promise high-performance, great banner specs, ease-of-use and a rich feature set to shorten debug and validation time but the WaveSurfer Xs-A and MXs-A oscilloscopes truly deliver on these promises.
Its small form factor packs a powerful processor that can handle long memory captures faster than any of the competition. The touch screen interface is the ultimate in ease-of use. With features like WaveStream fast viewing mode and WaveScan Search and Find, you can be confident that every problem can quickly be detected and analyzed.
Beyond these great features, the WaveSurfer offers a wide range of serial data trigger and decode tools for SPI, I2C UART, RS-232, LIN, or CAN as well as industry leading mixed signal capabilities to quickly troubleshoot embedded system designs. With bandwidths from 200 MHz to 1 GHz the WaveSurfer is the ideal oscilloscope for everyday design and debug.
Speed and Responsiveness
The WaveSurfer was designed to shorten debug time through faster hardware and more sophisticated software. The hardware allows for fast processing of long memory even when using math and measurement functions. The software is designed to respond immediately to the user’s input even while processing data, eliminating any lag or delay.
WaveScan Advanced Search
Searching for data is very helpful, but wouldn’t it be better to Search for something you can't trigger on? WaveScan allows searching in a single acquisition using more than 20 different modes. Or, set up a Scan condition and scan for an event over hours or days, and perform some action when it is found.
Long Capture Time
With 5 Mpts/Ch (10 Mpts/Ch with MXs-A) of fast acquisition memory standard the WaveSurfer provides long capture time at full sample rate, and longer times at lower sample rates. WaveSurfer long memory is also thoughtfully designed to respond quickly, even when measurements, math, or serial decoders are being used.
WaveStream Fast Viewing Mode
WaveStream provides a vibrant, intensity graded (256 levels) display with a fast update to closely simulate the look and feel of an analog oscilloscope. Turn WaveStream ON or OFF, and adjust intensity, using the front panel knob. Use it only when you want to.
Touch Screen Simplicity
Keep your testing efficient with a thoughtfully designed user interface that provides the busy engineer with a GUI that is smooth, transparent, and easy to use. Use the touch screen to quickly access all triggers, math functions and measurement parameters or to “draw a box” around the area of interest and zoom all channels to the desired area.
Embedded Controller Design and Debug
Save time when working with embedded controllers by adding high-performance mixed signal capability to the WaveSurfer. Capture digital signals up to 500 MHz with up to 50 Mpts/Ch memory, 2 GS/s and 18 or 36 channels. Quickly and easily isolate specific serial data events with optional I2C, SPI, UART, CAN and LIN trigger and decode capabilities.
ZS Series High Impedance Active Probes
The ZS Series of high impedance active probes provide full bandwidth at the probe tip, and the high impedance (1 MO || 0.9 pF) you want. A variety of standard and available probe tip and grounding accessories are offered to meet any requirement. What’s more, ZS Series probes are available for a very affordable price. Use the ZS1000 with 200 to 600 MHz WaveSurfers and the ZS1500 with 1 GHz WaveSurfers to give full system bandwidth at the probe tip.
WaveSurfer M-Type Oscillocopes
Compared to the non M-Types, the M Series have higher sample rates, 10 Mpts/Ch memory, advanced math and triggering, enhanced FFT capabilities and LabNotebook make the WaveSurfer M-Type a truly unique oscilloscope.
No other product in this class offers such a powerful combination of features and banner specs making the WaveSurfer M-Type the ideal oscilloscope for fast and efficient debug from 200 MHz to 1 GHz.
High Sample Rate 5 GS/s max sample rate at 600 MHz and 5 GS/s per channel at 1 GHz to capture the fastest signals.
Long Capture Maintain the high sample rate with 10 Mpts/Ch on all models.
Advanced Math and Triggering Many oscilloscopes offer a small set of basic trigger modes, math functions and limited FFT. The M-Type offers 10 trigger modes, 1 Mpts FFT and 17 math functions.
LabNotebook A Unique Tool for Documentation and Report Generation
Use LabNotebook to quickly save and document all your work. With a single button press all displayed waveforms, relevant settings, and screen images can be stored. Easy report generation allows you to annotate screen images, share your findings and communicate important results; reports can even be emailed directly from the oscilloscope. The Flashback function lets you recall your settings from any report and use them to reproduce previous measurements.
Intuitive User Interface
The new WaveSurfer Xs-A oscilloscope makes everyday testing simpler and easier. The intuitive user interface and streamlined front panel make it easy to turn on the oscilloscope and start making measurements. The interface is designed so that all the common measurements and functions are just one touch away.
Only 15 cm (6") Deep - The most space-efficient oscilloscope for your bench from 200 MHz to 1 GHz.
Local Language User Interface - Select from 10 language preferences. Add a front panel overlay with your local language.
Bright 10.4" Display - You’ll never use a small display oscilloscope again. A fantastic viewing angle makes it easy to view.
"Push" Knobs - Trigger level, delay, and offset knobs all provide shortcuts to common actions when pushed.
Zoom Control Knobs - Navigate zoom or math traces with the multiplexed horizontal knobs.
LeCroy WaveStream Fast Viewing Mode - Provides a lively, analog-like feel similar to a phosphor trace. Adjust “trace” intensity with the front panel control, or toggle between LeCroy WaveStream and real-time modes.
Dedicated Cursor Knobs - Select type of cursor, position them on your signal, and read values without ever opening a menu.
Touch Screen with Built-in Stylus - The most time-efficient user interface is even easier to use with a built-in stylus.
