LeCroy Introduces New WaveAce Oscilloscopes for
Simple, Fast and Efficient Debug
Chestnut Ridge, NY, September 15, 2008 – LeCroy ® Corporation introduces the WaveAce series of
digital oscilloscopes that expands its line of portable, affordable and easy to use oscilloscopes in the 60 MHz to
300 MHz range. The WaveAce improves troubleshooting and shortens debug time by providing unique features
such as long memory, a color display, extensive measurement capabilities, and advanced triggering. A
streamlined, time-saving user interface provides quick access to all important controls. With its USB host and
device ports the WaveAce easily connects to a memory stick, PC or printer. The variety of standard acquisition
modes and advanced triggers simplifies capturing even the most complex waveforms making the WaveAce a
valuable tool for design, debug and troubleshooting.
The new WaveAce is available in 2 channel models with bandwidths of 60 MHz, 100 MHz, 200 MHz and 300
MHz, all models have color displays. With a maximum sample rate of 2 GS/s and up to 8 kpts/ch memory the
WaveAce is a performance leader in this class of portable oscilloscopes. The long memory allows users to
capture full sample rate acquisitions that are 2 to 3 times longer than the competition. Improving how a user can
understand and analyze waveforms the WaveAce has 32 built-in automated parameters including advanced
timing parameters for skew, phase and edge to edge measurements between channels. Additional features such
as Pass/Fail testing, user definable digital filters and a waveform sequence recorder all simplify and shorten
debug time.
The high performance and large feature set of the WaveAce is controlled by an intuitive user interface with 11
different languages and streamlined front panel. All important controls and menus are accessed from the front
panel with a single button press. All position and offsets can be reset by simply pressing the knob, pressing the
V/Div knob will switch between fixed and variable gain and pressing the T/div knob will toggle between zoom
modes. Buttons on the front panel that open and close menus or switch modes are backlit to let the user know
exactly what mode the WaveAce is operating in.
Documenting results and saving screenshots, waveforms and setups is easy with the WaveAce. Internal storage
can hold up to 20 waveforms and 20 setups. Mass storage can be done by connecting a USB memory device
directly to the front panel of the oscilloscope. The rear panel USB port allows for direct printer connection or
connection to a PC for control with a software utility called EasyScope. EasyScope enables remote control
through a virtual front panel and also provides an easy method for saving waveforms and screenshots directly to a
PC.
