LeCroy Introduces the M-Type - 1 GHz Oscilloscopes Equipped for Validation Success



Chestnut Ridge, NY, October 16, 2007: LeCroy Corporation introduces two new M-Type 1 GHz Oscilloscopes that provide the highest signal fidelity, the most complete measurement capability, and the best raw performance in the 1 GHz bandwidth segment. Available in the popular WaveRunner® and WaveSurfer® product series, the M-Type products bring LeCroy's award-winning big display/small footprint, 5 GS/s sampling rate and form factor to 1 GHz Oscilloscopes. Each oscilloscope comes standard with a full set of analysis tools including WaveScan(TM), an advanced search & analysis feature, WaveStream(TM), a fast viewing mode, and LabNotebook(TM), a unique tool for documentation and report generation. Whether looking at the frequency spectrum, analyzing jitter, or performing mixed signal measurements, the M-Type products combine high performance and ease of use with the best tools for understanding and validating a design.

M-Type Oscilloscopes are available in two models. The LeCroy WaveRunner MXi is the most capable scope available in its class. With a maximum sample rate of 10 Gigasamples/second and with a standard 12.5 Mpts/Ch of memory (interleaving to 25 Mpts/Ch), the WaveRunner MXi, can really be put to work using a variety of analysis tools and application programs, such as Tracks, Histograms, long memory FFTs, user-defined functions, mixed signal options, power device analysis, jitter and timing analysis, and a host of other applications that ship standard in this oscilloscope. The X-Stream architecture ensures that memory processing is performed effortlessly, without interfering with the scope's operation.

The WaveSurfer MXs offers 5 Gigasamples per second on each channel with 10 Mpts/Ch memory. It is the oscilloscope that emphasizes strong fundamentals for lab and bench scope use. Its advanced triggering helps an engineer find rare events and glitches, while the built in HDTV trigger speeds the design of new products. It comes complete with an advanced math package, including one million point FFTs.

"The M-Type Oscilloscopes bring the advanced problem-solving abilities of the latest LeCroy oscilloscopes to engineers performing tasks ranging from everyday needs to advanced debug and analysis," says Dan Monopoli, Product Marketing Manager. "The collection of tools, features and functions packed into this small 6" deep instrument with large 10.4" touch screen make these truly unique oscilloscopes."

In addition, all M-Type Oscilloscopes are compatible with optional low-speed serial triggering and decode packages to help engineers quickly analyze I2C, SPI, UART, RS-232, CAN, LIN and FlexRay protocols through the use of easy to read transparent overlays, search/zoom capabilities, and tabular displays. M-Type Oscilloscopes are also hot-plug ready for LeCroy's 36 channel Mixed Signal Oscilloscope.

Find it, Understand it - WaveScan Locates Problems Faster The best trigger won't find all unusual events - a more powerful capability is needed. WaveScan provides the ability to locate unusual events in a single capture, or scan for an event in many acquisitions over a long period of time. Select from nearly 20 search modes (pulse width, frequency, rise time, runt, duty cycle, etc.), apply a search condition (>, <, in a range, or outside of a range, set a value with limits, etc.), and begin scanning and inspecting unusual events. In a single acquisition, WaveScan will identify the failure with a red box, and list the values in a table. From there, a user can zoom to view, or apply additional analysis tools for complete debugging. LabNotebook - Instant Report Generation After tests are performed, LeCroy's M-Type oscilloscopes simply and easily document the results. Saving all displayed waveforms, relevant settings, and screen images is all done with a single button press, eliminating the need to navigate multiple menus to save all these files independently. LabNotebook also permits customizing reports to fit into any design verification dataset. Once a measurement is made, it's easy to document and share the information.
