The LeCroy 9450A Dual-channel Digital Oscilloscope is a powerful high— resolution instrument for waveform recording and sophisticated analysis. The LeCroy 9450A provides a bandwidth of 300 MHz, and sampling rates of up to 400 megasamples/sec for transients and 10 gigasamples/sec for repetitive waveforms. The instrument features high-fidelity 8-bit ADCs, 50K of non-volatile acquisition memory per channel, 200K of additional waveform storage memory, extensive pulse parameter analysis, and a highly sophisticated trigger system to capture the most complex signals, including spikes and glitches. It is fully programmable over GPIB or RS-232-C interfaces. Hard copies are made at the touch of a button on a wide range of digital plotters and printers. High bandwidth - The 9450A portable digital oscilloscope provides 300 MHz bandwidth on two channels. Combined with many other features, this enables you to keep pace with current and future test and measurement requirements. Automatic PASS/FAIL testing - With this new feature, the oscilloscope can automatically compare a source trace with a tolerance mask, while simultaneously testing a set of parameters against reference values. If the test fails, the oscilloscope can perform up to six actions (hardcopy, storage to memory card, TTL pulse, etc...). PC Standard Memory Card - A memory card reader can be added to the 9450A for applications requiring high-speed data logging and non-volatile waveform storage. Waveforms and setups can be stored at rates unmatched in the industry onto 128- or 512-Kbyte cards. High sampling rates - High-resolution 8-bit Flash ADCs provide sampling rates up to 400 megasamples/ sec simultaneously over two channels. Repetitive signals are digitized at equivalent rates up to 10 giga-samples/sec in random interleaved sampling mode. Long non-volatile memories-Two non-volatile 50K acquisition memories, one per channel, store signals. By segmenting the two acquisition memories, nonvolatile waveform storage of 1 to 200 waveforms is available. An additional 200K of RAM is available for waveform processing, storage and display. Comprehensive triggering - Capabilities include pre- and post-triggering, trigger hold-off by time or number of events, delay by time or number of events,TV trigger, logic trigger, state qualified trigger, time/events qualified trigger and width-based triggers including FASTGLITCH and interval width trigger. FASTGLITCH triggering - The 9450A features LeCroy’s innovative FASTGLITCH trigger method which enables it to trigger even on non-recurrent glitches less than 2.5 nsec wide, independently of the time-base speed. Signal processing - The 9450A’s built-in waveform processing includes mathematics (add, subtract and invert) and summation averaging (up to 1000 sweeps). Modular architecture allows easy installation of extended signal processing packages such as Fast Fourier Analysis. Pulse parameters - Up to twenty signal characteristics (risetime, falltime, RMS voltage, etc.) can be automatically calculated on displayed, stored, expanded and processed waveforms. Exceptional processing power means these values are instantaneously updated with each acquisition. Waveform expansion - Fine signal details are revealed using LeCroy’s exclusive DUAL-ZOOM expansion which can magnify waveforms by as much as 1000 times. Expanded waveforms have improved timing resolution (up to ± 0.001 % of full scale) and can be analyzed further using the 9450A's signal processing and pulse parameters. Ease of use, auto-setup - Extensive processing power and familiar analog controls make the 9450A exceptionally responsive and easy to use. Repetitive waveforms are acquired in approximately two seconds with the convenient auto-setup facility. Recurring front-panel setups can be stored and recalled via simple pushbutton controls.
