LeCroy (www.lecroy.com) has unveiled a 500 MHz oscilloscope from its 300A Oscilloscopes portfolio, the WaveJet 354A oscilloscope.

This four channel oscilloscope allows users to view rapidly updating waveforms to locate rare events or signal anomalies. With the oscilloscope’s replay mode and fast acquisition, users can determine if a runt has occurred and allow them to measure and isolate it. It also enables users to understand and solve the anomaly.

Featuring a sampling rate of up to one GS/s, the WaveJet 354A also comes with a large 7.5-inch VGA display that allows users to easily view signal details, providing adequate room to display menus and measurements without cluttering the waveform grid.

The oscilloscope’s peak detect feature allows users to capture glitches as small as 1 ns, while its equivalent time sampling feature enables it to achieve a maximum sampling rate of 100 GS/s.

The light weight oscilloscope is specifically designed with a compact 4-inch footprint, making it ideal for engineers and users that work in an environment where bench space is a premium.

With a single press of a button, users can conveniently configure horizontal, vertical and trigger settings.

The WaveJet 354A also features active channel indicators that are color matched with each waveform showed on the display, with the vertical control’s active channel always lit to simplify operation.

The WaveJet 354A is compatible with LeCroy’s LogicStudio 16, which instantly turns the PC into a mixed signal oscilloscope complete with tools for viewing, capturing and measuring digital, analog and serial signals in one place.
