Measure and Debug Tools

With 32 automatic measurements

standard, the WaveAce simpliﬁes how

measurements are made. The large

7” widescreen display can show up

to ﬁve measurements without crowd-

ing the waveform display or show all

32 at once with the measurement

dashboard. A wide range of advanced

timing parameters provide insight to

the relationship between signals on

two different channels. WaveAce oscil-

loscopes provide ﬁve math functions

for additional analysis including Add,

Subtract, Multiply, Divide and FFT. The

FFT can be viewed using four differ-

ent windows and two different vertical

scales for an insightful view of the fre-

quency domain. Built-in Pass/Fail Mask

testing allows for quick identiﬁcation

of problems and highlights when they

have occurred.

Easy to Use for Faster Debug

The high performance and large feature

set of the WaveAce is controlled by an

intuitive user interface with 11 differ-

ent languages and a 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 so that the

mode of operation is easily visible to

the user.

A good oscilloscope should simplify how you work and shorten the time it

takes to ﬁnd and debug problems. The WaveAce™ combines long memory,

a color display, extensive measurement capabilities, advanced triggering

and excellent connectivity to improve troubleshooting and shorten debug

time. With bandwidths from 40 MHz to 300 MHz, sample rates up to 2 GS/s

and waveform memory up to 1 Mpts/Ch (2 Mpts interleaved) the WaveAce

exceeds all expectations of a small affordable oscilloscope.

40 MHz–300 MHz

Automatic Measurements

The WaveAce provides two display

modes for viewing any of the 32

automatic mesurements. Five

measurements can be displayed at

the same time without crowding the

waveform, or all 32 measurements

can be displayed using the dashboard.

Waveform Math

The WaveAce provides ﬁve math

functions including Add, Subtract,

Multiply, Divide and FFT. The FFT

capability includes the choices of four

windows and two different vertical

scales.

Pass/Fail Test

With built-in Pass/Fail Mask testing

the WaveAce can quickly identify

problems and let you know when they

occur. A history of the P/F results can

be displayed on the screen.

THE TOOLS AND FEATURES FOR ALL YOUR DEBUG NEEDS

Long Capture and Zoom

Small, portable oscilloscopes often

suffer from short capture time due to

the small waveform memory. The

WaveAce has up to 1 Mpts/ch of

memory which is two to three times

larger than competitive products. More

memory results in longer capture times

showing more waveform detail with

each trigger. Activate the built-in zoom

function to take a closer look at the

details.

Digital Filter

Digital ﬁltering is available on each

channel of the WaveAce. The Low-

Pass, High-Pass, Band-Pass and

Band-Stop ﬁlters allow you to isolate

only the frequencies you want to see.

Waveform Sequence

Recorder

Capture and replay a sequence of up

to 2,500 waveforms to isolate that

runt or glitch which is causing

problems in your system.

Advanced Triggering

Edge triggering is not always the best

choice for every signal. Beyond the

basic edge trigger is a set of trigger

capabilities which include Pulse Width,

Video and Slope (Rise Time) triggers.

Connectivity

The WaveAce provides a USB host port

on the front panel for saving screen

images, waveforms and setups to a

memory stick. A rear panel USB device

port allows for connection to a PC or

printer. Connecting and communicating

with a PC is simpliﬁed with WaveStudio

software providing full access to the

oscilloscope’s display, measurements,

and waveform data.

Large Internal Storage

Saving and recalling waveforms and

setups from internal memory can save

a lot of time during test and debug. The

WaveAce can save up to 20 waveforms,

20 setups and two reference waveforms

to the internal memory.

Acquisition Modes

Different applications call for different

acquisition modes. The WaveAce

offers Real Time, Equivalent Time, Peak

Detect and Averaging modes to ensure

that any waveform can be captured and

displayed.

WaveStation Integration

With 5 basic signal types, and over 40 built-in arbitrary waveforms

LeCroy's WaveStation is a versatile waveform generator. A variety of

modulation schemes, intuitive waveform editing software and remote

control capabilities, enable versatile waveform generation of waveforms

up to 50 MHz. The 3.5” display and simple user interface make it easy

to generate a wide range of waveforms. Additionally, connecting a

WaveAce oscilloscope to the same PC enables transferring real world

signals from the WaveAce to the WaveStation.

LogicStudio 16 Integration

The WaveAce can be paired with LeCroy’s LogicStudio 16 to turn your

PC into a mixed signal oscilloscope with tools for capturing, viewing

and measuring analog, digital and serial signals in one place.

LogicStudio offers 16 channels, 100 MHz and up to 1 GS/s logic

analysis with I2C, SPI and UART triggering and decoding which can all

be displayed alongside the analog waveforms captured on WaveAce.

When only digital debug is needed disconnect the WaveAce and use

LogicStudio as a standalone logic analyzer.

SMART, SIMPLE, EFFICIENT

1. Fast Power Up

The WaveAce turns on and is ready

for use in under 10 seconds.

2. Display

All WaveAce models have a

7" widescreen color display.

3. Connectivity

Saving waveforms, screenshots and

setups is easy with the front panel

USB port for use with a memory stick.

4. Portability

The small compact form factor is

lightweight and only 5" deep.

5. Communication

Rear panel USB port enables direct

remote control from a PC. The USB

port also allows for connecting

to a printer.

6. Intensity

Waveform intensity can be quickly

adjusted by rotating this knob, a

meter on the display will appear

and show the current setting.

7. Individual Vertical Controls

Quickly change the vertical scale

of any channel.

8. Push Knobs

All WaveAce knobs can be pushed

for additional capabilities. Push the

V/div knobs to toggle between ﬁxed

and variable gain. Push the T/div

knob to enter zoom mode and push

the position knobs to center the

waveform on screen.

9. Local Language User

Interface

The intuitive user interface is available

in several different languages.

10. Front Panel Print Button

Saving or Printing screenshots requires

only a single button press.

11. Backlit Menu Buttons

When using certain features like

Cursors or Measurements the button

remains lit for easy menu navigation.

12. Context Sensitive Help

Press any button or turn any knob

while in help mode and a pop-up

window displays the functionality

of that control.

13. Auto Setup
