Teledyne LeCroy triples waveform generator bandwidth
The WaveStation 3000 models are available with bandwidths of 80 MHz, 120 MHz and 160 MHz, each with 500 MS/s sampling rate, 14-bit resolution and 16 kpts memory per channel. Applications with greater memory needs may access 512 kpts of memory on channel 2, a feature that is standard on all new models.
The new front panel design provides easy access to basic waveforms and various operating modes. Users can create basic sine, square, ramp, pulse, and noise waveforms. The large display shows all relevant waveform parameters and waveform shapes.
Accompanying the WaveStation hardware is a PC software utility which simplifies waveform creation and editing. The WaveStation software runs on an external PC and provides additional waveform creation capabilities. Waveforms can be created, shaped and edited with the software using mathematical operators, digital filters, or by placing individual sample points. The software also provides a waveform drawing tool allowing the user to create a freeform waveform sketch on the PC and output it from the WaveStation. In addition, the WaveStation waveform editing software provides the capability of importing waveforms captured on a WaveAce oscilloscope via USB and recreating them on the WaveStation.
With standard USB and GPIB connectivity it is possible to control WaveStation remotely or integrate it into a test system. All necessary I/O for synchronization can be accessed on the rear panel. A front panel USB port provides an easy way to save waveforms.
