LeCroy Corporation's new line of WavePro digital oscilloscopes, Serial Data Analyzers, and Disk Drive Analyzers--the 7 Zi Series--integrates performance, speed, and a user interface optimized for analysis to enhance the design, debug and validation process beyond any other instrument in the 1.5 GHz to 6 GHz bandwidth range. A superior feature finder, a new rare event capture technology, and the deepest toolbox with the greatest horsepower combine for powerful debug capability. Exceptional responsiveness and 10¨C20 times faster processing throughput lead to more efficient validation. A new form-factor and the largest display available on any oscilloscope make finding root cause easier. The breakthrough performance of the WavePro 7 Zi Series provides engineers with deeper insight into electronic design problems than possible before.
The WavePro 7 Zi's industrial design incorporates an industry-first 15.3 inch, 16:9 high-definition display equipped with a touch screen. Equipped with the industry's most extensive toolbox, the new scope solves electronic design problems for serial data, embedded, automotive and general-purpose applications within minutes instead of hours. In addition, TriggerScan and WaveScan, special modes for finding rare events and correlating what caused the problem, shorten the time to debug a new design. The toolbox can be extended to an integrated second display in order to expand the oscilloscope's workspace. The WavePro 7 Zi's removable front panel allows engineers to place the controls next to the circuit under test. LeCroy's new serial interface bus, LSIB, enables data transfer to a computer at rates up to 500 Mpts/s, which is 25 to 100 times faster than any other method.
Fast Throughput with X-Stream II Streaming Architecture
Designed for long memory operation and responsiveness X-Stream II technology enables high throughput of data--even when the oscilloscope is analyzing eight 128 Mpt waveforms. This architecture uses variable waveform segment lengths to improve CPU cache memory efficiency resulting in 10 to 20 times faster processing compared to other oscilloscopes. This eliminates the trade-offs between long memory length and quick processing. WavePro 7 Zi's proprietary architecture design is augmented with an Intel®Core™2 Quad processor, high-speed serial databuses, a 64-bit OS and up to 8 GB of RAM.
