Teledyne LeCroy WaveSurfer 3024Z 200 MHz Oscilloscope

The Teledyne LeCroy WaveSurfer 3024Z is a 200 MHz, 4-channel digital storage oscilloscope built around the MAUI touch-driven user interface and a 10.1-inch capacitive touchscreen. It delivers high-speed acquisition at 2 GS/s per channel (4 GS/s interleaved, up to 50 GS/s repetitive) with 10 Mpts standard memory per channel, supporting real-time, roll, RIS, and segmented acquisition modes. The instrument combines fast waveform capture—up to 130,000 waveforms/second—with extensive triggering, measurement, and analysis capabilities designed to accelerate debug cycles and signal characterization.
