Wavescan advanced search
Wavescan provides powerful isolation capabilities that hard-
ware triggers can’t provide. Wavescan provides the ability
to locate unusual events in a single capture (i.e., capture and
search), or “scan” for an event in many acquisitions over a
long period of time. select from more than 20 search modes
to find events on any analog or digital channel or search for
a pattern across multiple digital channels.
Since the scanning “modes” are not
simply copies of the hardware trig gers,
the utility and capa bility is much higher.
For instance, there is no “frequency”
trigger in any oscilloscope, yet
WaveScan allows for “frequency”
to be quickly “scanned.” This allows the
user to accumulate a data set of
unusual events that are separated by hours or days, enabling faster debug-
ging. When used in multiple acquisi-
tions, WaveScan builds on the
traditional LeCroy strength of fast
processing of data. A LeCroy X-Stream
oscilloscope will quickly scan millions of
events looking for unusual occurrences,
and do it much faster and more effi-
ciently than other oscilloscopes can.
advanced Waveform Capture
with sequence Mode
Use Sequence mode to store up to
5,000 triggered events as “segments”
into memory. This can be ideal when
capturing many fast pulses in quick
succession or when capturing events
separated by long time periods.
Sequence mode provides timestamps
for each acquisition and minimizes
dead-time between triggers to less
than 1 μ s. Combine Sequence mode
with advanced triggers to isolate rare
events over time and analyze afterwards.
Wavestream fast
Viewing Mode
WaveStream provides a vibrant,
intensity graded (256 levels) display
with fast update rate to simulate the
look and feel of an analog oscilloscope.
WaveStream is helpful for seeing
jitter or identifying unusual events.
With sampling rate as high as 10 GS/s
WaveStream is an excellent runt
or glitch finder.
