LeCroy WAVESURFER 64MXS-B 600 MHz Oscilloscope

System debug often requires more than analog channels. The MSO MXs-B delivers 18 digital channels which can capture digital signals of up to 250 MHz. The MSO MXs-B offer analog and digital cross-triggering plus measurement tools to help debug digital busses. Teledyne LeCroy’s WaveScan™ search and find tool will scan both analog and digital channels for anamolies plus scan multiple digital lines for a parallel bus pattern.
 

Don’t waste time searching through a complex menu structure to find the proper setting. Configuring the WaveSurfer is simple thanks to the intuitive touch screen user interface. Everything on the screen is interactive. To adjust channel, timebase, or trigger settings, simply touch the associated descriptor box and the appropriate menu is opened. Measurements can be touched to adjust their settings and cursors can be positioned precisely by touching and dragging them to the proper location. A box can be drawn around a portion of a waveform to create a zoom of that waveform. Even waveform offset and delay can be adjusted simply by touching and dragging the waveform.

The WaveSurfer MXs-B and MSO MXs-B oscilloscopes makes everyday testing simpler and easier. The intuitive user interface and streamlined front panel make it easy to turn on the oscilloscope and start making measurements. The interface is designed so that all the common measurements and functions are just one touch away.

WaveScan provides powerful isolation capabilities that hardware 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 debugging. When used in multiple acquisitions, WaveScan builds on the traditional Teledyne LeCroy strength of fast processing of data. A Teledyne LeCroy X-Stream oscilloscope will quickly scan millions of events looking for unusual occurrences, and do it much faster and more efficiently than other oscilloscopes can.

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.

The LabNotebook feature of WaveSurfer MXs-B and MSO MXs-B provides a report generation tool to save and document all your work. Saving all displayed waveforms, relevant settings, and screen images is all done through LabNotebook, eliminating the need to navigate multiple menus to save all these files independently.

• Easy report generation helps you share your findings and communicate important results.
• LabNotebook adds a simple way to report your work and save all essential waveforms, settings, and screen images.
• Quickly save all the necessary files with LabNotebook in a single button press.
• Recall your settings from any report by using the Flashback capability.

Teledyne LeCroy’s versatile MSO MXs-B mixed signal oscilloscope combines the powerful WaveSurfer MXs-B with the flexibility of digital inputs using the MS-250. In addition, the many triggering and decoding options turn the MSO MXs-B into an all-in-one analog, digital, and serial data trigger, acquisition, and debug machine.

Embedded controller design and debug involves capturing and viewing a number of different types of signals. These signals are typically a mix of analog, digital, and serial data wave- forms from a combination of analog sensors, microcontrollers and peripheral devices. With the ability to capture digital signals with speeds up to 250 MHz and long memory of 10 Mpts/Ch the MSO MXs-B provides unmatched mixed signal performance. The MSO MXs-B is the ideal tool for testing embedded systems with 8-bit micro- controllers or slower digital signals. With 18 digital inputs each with 250 MHz max. input frequency and 10 Mpts/Ch memory, the MSO MXs-B is an outstanding value and provides a complete set of tools for embedded system testing.

Unlike a traditional Logic Analyzer, the MSO MXs-B is easy to use. A simple connection links the oscilloscope with the digital inputs so users can start viewing signals and begin debugging quickly. In addition, all standard oscilloscope tools are readily accessible. Signal debug is simple, using standard oscilloscope tools, such as cursors, measurement parameters, and zooming.

Debugging serial data busses can be confusing and time consuming. The serial data and decode options for MSO MXs-B provide time saving tools for serial bus debug and validation.

Quickly measure and analyze the operating characteristics of power conversion devices and circuits with the Power Analyzer option. Critical power switching device measurements, control loop modulation analysis, and line power harmonic testing are all simplified with a dedicated user interface and automatic measurements. Areas of turn-on, turn-off, and conduction loss are all identified with color-coded waveform overlays for faster analysis.

Power Analyzer provides quick and easy setup of voltage and current inputs and makes measurements as simple as the push of a button. Tools are provided to help reduce sources of measurement errors and the measurement parameters provide details of single cycle or average device power losses. Beyond the advanced power loss measurement capabilities, the Power Analyzer modulation analysis capabilities provide insight to understand control loop response to critical events such as a power supply’s soft start performance or step response to line and load changes. The Line Power Analysis tool allows simple and quick pre-compliance testing to EN 61000-3-2.
