THE COMPLETE MIXED SIGNAL TOOLSET
Analog, Digital and
Cross-pattern Triggering
The MSO Xs-A has an extensive
set of triggering capabilities aimed
at capturing a wide range of analog
and digital signals. These triggers
can be as simple as an edge trigger
on an analog or digital channel or
as complicated as a cross-pattern
Set up a simple or complex cross-pattern
trigger with any combination of up to
4 analog and 18 digital channels. Set the
pattern with a choice of 1, 0, Rising Edge,
Falling Edge, Either Edge or Don’t Care.
trigger which incorporates up to
4 analog and 18 digital channels.
Powerful Qualified AB event
triggering allows the trigger to
be armed on one event and
triggered on another.
The advanced triggering of the
MSO Xs-A goes well beyond
the basic edge trigger and digital
pattern trigger that many MSOs
offer. Advanced triggers like runt
and dropout and slew rate help
find abnormal signals. The Qualified
AB trigger can be used to connect
multiple trigger events together.
Easy-to-use Measurement Tools
Cursor and measurement parameters
are important for measuring and
understanding both analog and digital
waveforms. The MSO Xs-A cursors
will read out hexadecimal bus values and
analog channel voltages simultaneously.
Cursor measurements are displayed directly in the channel and group descriptor boxes
which are always visible on screen.
Automated measurement parameters
will make measurements on both analog
and digital channels with statistics to
help you understand how they change
over time.
Use up to 6 measurements simultaneously and make measurements on analog, digital or
a combination of both. Measurements are quickly set up using the touch screen menus.

LECROY WAVESCAN ADVANCED SEARCH
WaveScan provides powerful isolation capabilities that hardware triggers can’t provide. WaveScan provides the ability to
locate unusual events in a single capture (i.e., capture and
search), or “scan” for an event in many acquisitions over a
long period of time. Select from more than 20 search modes
to find events on any analog or digital channel or search for
a pattern across multiple digital channels.
WaveStream Fast
Viewing Mode
WaveStream provides a vibrant, intensity
graded (256 levels) display with a fast
update rate to closely simulate the
look and feel of an analog oscilloscope.
WaveStream is most helpful in viewing
signals that have signal jitter or signal
anomalies, or for applying a visual
check before creating an advanced
trigger or WaveScan setup to locate
an unusual event.
Since the sampling rate in WaveStream
mode can be as high as 5 GS/s (up
to 2.5x that of other oscilloscopes),
it is an excellent runt or glitch finder.
