WaveSurfer 3000 Oscilloscopes
Analysis
Most Teledyne LeCroy oscilloscopes calculate measurements for all instances in the acquisition, enabling
you to rapidly and thoroughly analyze a long memory acquisition of thousands or millions of parameter
values, or to apply a variety of mathematical functions to the waveform trace.
WaveScan searches a single acquisition for events that meet specific criteria, enabling you to zoom in on
anomalies in the waveform, or scans multiple acquisitions with allowable trigger actions when conditions
are met. It can also be used to filter measurements. A variety of views help you understand the behavior of
waveforms.
Optional software packages may be purchased that simplify specialized analysis, such as various Serial
Data Decode options. These add new functionality to the oscilloscope Analysis menu.
WaveScan
The WaveScan
®
Search and Find tool enables you to search for unusual events in a single capture, or to
scan for a particular event in many acquisitions over a long period of time. Each Scan Mode is optimized to
find a different type of event. Results are time stamped, tabulated, and can be selected individually.
WaveScan window with different scan "views" turned on.
Customize the presentation by choosing different WaveScan display features, or Scan Views. Optionally, set
Actions to occur automatically when unusual events are found, such as stopping the acquisition or sounding
an alarm.
NOTE: Whenever WaveScan is enabled, the instrument reverts to Real-time sampling mode.
