•Capture fast signals with high
resolution for longer time intervals
•View data like never before, giving
you more information more quickly,
with a large CRT and advanced
zooming techniques
•Analyze your signal to get answers
quickly and more accurately with a
powerful processing system and math

BANDWIDTH
ADVANCED PEAK DETECT
AP015 Current
Probe, 50 MHz
bandwidth
The LeCroy DSOs open up new
horizons for engineers and scientists at
the leading edge of technological
developments. With 500 MHz (935xC)
and 1 GHz (937xC, 9384C) bandwidth,
long acquisition memories and a
powerful trigger system, it is now
possible to reveal previously hidden
waveform details. Narrow glitches are
more accurately defined; risetime
measurements below 1 ns are more
precise; and high frequency content,
filtered out in lower bandwidth systems,
is retained, thereby preserving signal
amplitudes and overall signal integrity.
SAMPLE RATE
These LeCroy DSO’s sample simultaneously on all channels at 500 MS/s
(935xC, 937xC) and 1 GS/s (9384C).
Thus, they are ideal for demanding
high-speed applications. In addition,
two channels can be combined to
provide a sample rate of 1 GS/s (935xC,
937xC) and 2 GS/s (9384C), or 2GS/s
(9354C, 9374C) and 4 GS/s (9384C) in
single channel mode. Finer horizontal
resolution and accuracy are assured by
higher sample rates. This is especially
critical in digital design where
unpredictable circuit behavior needs to
be identified and analyzed in detail to
be fully understood. Together with this
excellent single-shot performance the
LeCroy oscilloscopes also provide a
sample rate equivalent to 10 GS/s for
repetitive signals. The innovative peakdetect mode enables glitch capture even
at the slowest time settings without loss
of precision.
ACQUISITION MEMORY
Channel record lengths of 50k, 100k,
500k, 1M and 2M are available on the
LeCroy oscilloscopes. The memory
power is revealed when the user seeks
to sample at the highest speed over
many timebase settings. DSOs with less
memory may boast a high sample rate
for short waveforms, but only LeCroy’s
long memory oscilloscopes deliver high
sample rates for long waveforms. To
exploit this capability to its fullest, the
long memory version combines its
channel acquisition memories to give
the user up to 8 million sample points,
thereby providing the waveform detail
required on long and complex signals.
SYSTEM
The 93xxC series offers an innovative
peak detect capture mode. This
captures fast glitches by running the
ADCs at a high sampling rate even at
slow time base settings thereby
capturing signal details that might have
been missed due to under-sampling.
SMART TRIGGERTMSYSTEM
SMART Trigger functions including
Glitch, Pattern, Interval, Exclusion, TV,
Dropout, and State-or-Edge Qualified
triggers are available. Pre- and Posttrigger delay are fully variable, Time and
Events Holdoff are also included.

option (WP01) provides Summed and
Continuous Averaging, Waveform Math
Functions, Extrema and Enhanced

programmable over GPIB or RS-232-C.
Advanced Math extends the processing
capabilities of the oscilloscope and
eliminates the need for external
computers and controllers for
processing.
SPECTRAL ANALYSIS
PACKAGE
The Parameter Analysis option (WP03)
provides extensive analysis capabilities
including trending and histogramming
of key parameters. Detailed characteri-
zation can easily be performed on
difficult-to-measure waveform
phenomena such as amplitude
fluctuation and timing jitter. Live
displays include a line graph
representing the trend of a parameter or
bar chart showing the statistical distri-
bution of selected waveform parameter
measurements. Statistical information
can be extracted directly from the
histograms using automatic statistical
measurements including max, min,
average, median, std. deviation, etc.
CURSOR MEASUREMENTS
Relative Time: Two cursors provide
time measurements with resolution of
±0.05% full-scale for unexpanded
traces; up to 10% of the sampling
interval for expanded traces. The
corresponding frequency value is
displayed.
Relative Voltage: Two horizontal bars
measure voltage differences up to
±0.2% of full-scale in single-grid mode.
Absolute Time: A cross-hair marker
measures time relative to the trigger and
voltage with respect to ground.
Absolute Voltage: A reference bar
measures voltage with respect to
ground.
PACKAGE
The Spectral Analysis Package option
(WP02) provides comprehensive
frequency analysis capabilities,
permitting the system designer to
identify characteristics that may not be
apparent in the time domain. The
Spectral Analysis Package provides a
wide selection of windowing functions,
as well as averaging in the frequency
domain.
Spectrum analysis can be performed on
repetitive and single events. Users can
obtain time and frequency values
simultaneously and compare phases of
the various frequency components with
each other.

Math Package up to four processing
functions may be performed simulta-
neously. Functions available are: Add,
Subtract, Multiply, Divide, Negate,
