HD4096 HIGH DEFINITION TECHNOLOGY

The HD4096 high definition technology consists of high sample rate 12-bit ADCs, low-noise system architecture, and a high signal-to-noise ratio amplifier.  HD4096 enables higher sample rates, and up to 16 times more resolution than competing brands.   This technology even makes it possible to capture and display signals up to 1 GHz, with unprecedented speed and accuracy.

Oscilloscopes equipped with HD4096 technology have higher resolution and measurement precision than 8-bit alternatives.  12 bit analog to digital converters provide high resolution sampling, at speeds up to 2.5 GS/s. The high performance input amplifiers deliver phenomenal signal fidelity with a 55 dB signal-to-noise ratio and provide a pristine signal to the ADC to be digitized. The low-noise signal architecture ensures that nothing interferes with the captured signal and the oscilloscope displays a waveform that accurately represents the signals from the device under test.
 

 

16x Closer to Perfect

16x More Resolution
12 bit technology provides sixteen times more resolution than 8 bits.
 
Lecroy’s HD4096 technology reduces quantization error, as a signal is converted from analog to digital.  Signals captured with lower resolution oscilloscopes have a much higher level of quantization error, producing less accurate waveforms, and higher margins of error.  If a device provides inaccurate information, then what are you really measuring?
 

DEBUG IN HIGH DEFINITION WITH HD4096

Lecroy oscilloscopes with HD4096 offer many benefits, allowing users to debug in high definition.  Waveforms displayed by HD oscilloscopes are more accurate representations, allowing more signal details to be measured.  These measurements are made with unmatched precision, resulting in better test results and shorter debug time.




Clean, Crisp Waveforms
When compared to waveforms captured and displayed by 8-bit oscilloscopes, waveforms captured with HD4096 technology are dramatically crisper and cleaner. Oscilloscopes with HD4096 acquire waveforms at high resolution, high sample rate and low noise to display the most accurate waveforms.

More Signal Details
Signal details often lost in the noise are clearly visible and easy to distinguish when captured on oscilloscopes with HD4096. Details which were previously difficult to even see can now be easily seen and measured. Using the oscilloscope zoom capabilities gives an even closer look at the details for unparalleled insight to the signals on screen.

SERIAL TRIGGER AND DECODE OPTIONS

Trigger and Decode
The serial data trigger will quickly isolate events on a bus eliminating the need to set manual triggers and hoping to catch the right information. Trigger conditions can be entered in binary or hexadecimal formats and conditional trigger capabilities even allow triggering on a range of different events.

Protocol decoding is shown directly on the waveform with an intuitive, color-coded overlay and presented in binary, hex or ASCII. Decoding on the HDO4000 is fast even with long memory and zooming in to the waveform shows precise byte by byte decoding.

Table and Search
To further simplify the debug process all decoded data can be displayed in a table below the waveform grid. Selecting an entry in the table with the touch screen will display just that event. Additionally, built-in search functionality will find specific decoded values.

Serial data messages can be quickly located by searching on address, data and other attributes specific to a particular protocol. Once found, the specific location containing the specified search criteria can be automatically zoomed to.
