Teledyne LeCroy WavePro 7100A – 4 Channel, 1GHz, 10 GS/s Oscilloscope

The Teledyne LeCroy WavePro 7100A is a 4-channel oscilloscope delivering 1 GHz bandwidth and 10 GS/s sampling per channel with selectable 1 MΩ or 50 Ω input impedance. Built on X-Stream Technology, this instrument maintains high data throughput across complex measurements by optimizing the balance between deep memory and processing speed. The 10.4-inch color touchscreen display presents waveforms at 800 x 600 pixel resolution, while advanced triggering—including SMART Trigger, glitch, pattern, and interval modes—captures elusive signal events. With over 80 jitter and timing measurements, math functions, histograms, and statistics, the WavePro 7100A handles serial data bus analysis, digital design validation, and clock characterization. Record length reaches 10 M words per channel or 20 M words maximum across channels. Vertical sensitivity spans 2 mV/div to 1 V/div with 400 ps rise time and ±(0.01% + 500 ps) horizontal accuracy. Time-base triggering sensitivity is 2 div peak-to-peak across the full 1 GHz band. Optional application packages extend capability into optical/electrical mask testing, disk drive measurements, and timing applications. Ethernet, USB, SVGA video output, and internal storage enable seamless data acquisition and instrument control.
