Zooming
Use front panel QuickZoom button, or use touch screen or mouse to draw a box around the zoom area.
Standard Math
Operators include Sum, Difference, Product, Ratio, and FFT (up to 25 kpts with power spectrum output and rectangular, Von Hann, and
FlatTop windows). 1 math function may be defined at a time.
Extended Math (WS-MATHSURF)
Adds the following additional math functions: Absolute Value, Averaging (summed and continuous), Derivative, Envelope, Enhanced
Resolution (to 11 bits), Floor, Integral, Invert, Reciprocal, Roof, Square, and Square Root. Also adds chaining of two math functions,
rescaling to different units, and 1 Mpt FFTs.
From its large 10.4" LCD touch screen to its space-saving small footprint,
the new WaveSurfer DSO is a radical rethinking of the basic bench scope.
It breaks the rules of conventional scope design to deliver dramatically
improved signal viewing, 100X the capture time, and up-to-the-minute
connectivity capabilities. But more importantly, it’
s designed for the way
you like to work — big, sharp images of your signal, a simple, easy-to-use
interface and a strong tool set for testing and debugging. Bottom line? It’s
not only a great fit for your bench, it’s a perfect match for your budget.
So Much to See
T
he WaveSurfer 1
0.4" display is 2-1/2 times
the size of the 6.4" screens found on competitive
oscilloscopes. And its 6" deep footprint eliminates the
space penalty that comes with conventional oscilloscopes.
Just looking at the screen you can see the improvement —
the 800 x 600 SVGA display boasts exceptional brightness
and a wide viewing angle. Signal details are clearer than
ever. And you know that when you can see the signal, you
can come up with the solution. That’s what the new
WaveSurfer DSO is all about.

1 ms long acquisition
Zoom for detail — sample rate r
emains high
Large screens show the detail — if you can capture it.
The WaveSurfer oscilloscope provides all the detail you
need by delivering more than 100X the capture time at
full sample rate compared to other oscilloscopes in its
class. It effectively eliminates the trade-off between high
sample rate and long capture time. This high sample rate
is especially important when capturing a mix of signals
that are spaced widely apart in time, or when you
require a long pre-trigger time. This means that the
WaveSurfer oscilloscope beats short-memory scopes
when it comes to the debugging of common circuit
problems like clock/data issues and timing errors.
