Returning a Product for Service or Repair
If you need to return a LeCroy product, identify it by its model and serial numbers. Describe the
defect or failure, and give us your name and telephone number.
For factory returns, use a Return Authorization Number (RAN), which you can get from customer
service. Write the number clearly on the outside of the shipping carton.
Return products requiring only maintenance to your local customer service center.
If you need to return your scope for any reason, use the original shipping carton. If this is not
possible, be sure to use a rigid carton. The scope should be packed so that it is surrounded by a
minimum of four inches (10 cm) of shock absorbent material.
Within the warranty period, transportation charges to the factory will be your responsibility.
Products under warranty will be returned to you with transport prepaid by LeCroy. Outside the
warranty period, you will have to provide us with a purchase order number before the work can be
done. You will be billed for parts and labor related to the repair work, as well as for shipping.
You should prepay return shipments. LeCroy cannot accept COD (Cash On Delivery) or Collect
Return shipments. We recommend using air freight.

with other products or services (other than Instruments and Your Software) without the express
prior written consent of LeCroy. The Software Product is licensed as a single product. Its
component parts may not be separated for use by more than one user. This EULA does not grant
you any rights in connection with any trademarks or service marks of LeCroy. The Software
Product is protected by copyright laws and international copyright treaties, as well as other
intellectual property laws and treaties. The Software Product is licensed, not sold. The terms of this
printed, paper EULA supersede the terms of any on-screen license agreement found within the

3.3 Confidentiality. Except for the specific rights granted by this EULA, neither party shall use or
disclose any Confidential Information (as defined below) of the other party without the written
consent of the disclosing party. A party receiving Confidential Information from the other shall use
the highest commercially reasonable degree of care to protect the Confidential Information,
including ensuring that its employees and consultants with access to such Confidential Information
have agreed in writing not to disclose the Confidential Information. You shall bear the responsibility
for any breaches of confidentiality by your employees and consultants. Within ten (10) days after
request of the disclosing party, and in the disclosing party's sole discretion, the receiving party shall
either return to the disclosing party originals and copies of any Confidential Information and all
information, records and materials developed therefrom by the receiving party, or destroy the same,
other than such Confidential Information as to which this EULA expressly provides a continuing
right to the receiving party to retain at the time of the request. Either party may only disclose the
general nature, but not the specific financial terms, of this EULA without the prior consent of the
other party; provided either party may provide a copy of this EULA to any finance provider in

Nothing herein shall prevent a receiving party from disclosing all or part of the Confidential
Information as necessary pursuant to the lawful requirement of a governmental agency or when
disclosure is required by operation of law; provided that prior to any such disclosure, the receiving
party shall use reasonable efforts to (a) promptly notify the disclosing party in writing of such
requirement to disclose, and (b) cooperate fully with the disclosing party in protecting against any
such disclosure or obtaining a protective order. Money damages will not be an adequate remedy if
this Section 4.3 is breached and, therefore, either party shall, in addition to any other legal or

or threatened breach without the necessity of posting any bond. As used herein, “Confidential
Information” means LeCroy pricing or information concerning new LeCroy products, trade secrets
(including without limitation all internal header information contained in or created by the Software
Product, all benchmark and performance test results and all Documentation) and other proprietary
information of LeCroy; and any business, marketing or technical information disclosed by LeCroy,
or its representatives, or you in relation to this EULA, and either (i) disclosed in writing and marked
as confidential at the time of disclosure or (ii) disclosed in any other manner such that a reasonable
person would understand the nature and confidentiality of the information. Confidential Information
does not include information (A) already in the possession of the receiving party without an
obligation of confidentiality to the disclosing party, (B) hereafter rightfully furnished to the receiving
party by a third party without a breach of any separate nondisclosure obligation to the disclosing
party, (C) publicly known without breach of this EULA, (d) furnished by the disclosing party to a third
party without restriction on subsequent disclosure, or (e) independently developed by the receiving
party without reference to or reliance on the Confidential Information.
4. TERMINATION.
This EULA will remain in force until termination pursuant to the terms hereof. You may terminate
this EULA at any time. This EULA will also terminate if you breach any of the terms or conditions of
this EULA. You agree that if this EULA terminates for any reason, the License will immediately
terminate and you will destroy all copies of the Software Product (and all Derivatives), installed or
otherwise, the Documentation, and the Confidential Information (and all derivatives of any of the
foregoing) that are in your possession or under your control. The provisions of Sections 1.3, 4, 6, 7,
8, and 9 will survive any termination or expiration hereof.

Virus Protection
Because your scope runs on a Windows-based PC platform, it must be protected from viruses, as
with any PC on a corporate network. It is crucial that the scope be kept up to date with Windows
Critical Updates, and that anti-virus software be installed and continually updated.
Visit http://www.lecroy.com/dsosecurity for more information regarding Windows Service Pack
compatibility with LeCroy operating software, and related matters.
Warranty
The instrument is warranted for normal use and operation, within specifications, for a period of one
year from shipment. LeCroy will either repair or, at our option, replace any product returned to one
of our authorized service centers within this period. However, in order to do this we must first
examine the product and find that it is defective due to workmanship or materials and not due to
misuse, neglect, accident, or abnormal conditions or operation.
LeCroy shall not be responsible for any defect, damage, or failure caused by any of the following: a)
attempted repairs or installations by personnel other than LeCroy representatives, or b) improper
connection to incompatible equipment or c) for any damage or malfunction caused by the use of
non-LeCroy supplies. Furthermore, LeCroy shall not be obligated to service a product that has
been modified or integrated where the modification or integration increases the task duration or
difficulty of servicing the oscilloscope. Spare and replacement parts, and repairs, all have a 90-day
warranty.
The oscilloscope’s firmware has been thoroughly tested and is presumed to be functional.
Nevertheless, it is supplied without warranty of any kind covering detailed performance. Products
not made by LeCroy are covered solely by the warranty of the original equipment manufacturer.

The power supply of the scope is protected against short
circuit and overload by a 5x20 mm fuse (T10.0 A/250 V).
See “Fuse Replacement” section for replacement
instructions.
Power and Ground Connections
The instrument is provided with a grounded cord set
containing a molded three-terminal polarized plug and a
standard IEC320 (Type C13) connector for making line
voltage and safety ground connection. The AC inlet
ground terminal is connected directly to the frame of the
instrument. For adequate protection against electrical
shock hazard, the power cord plug must be inserted into
a mating AC outlet containing a safety ground contact.
In Standby mode the scope is still connected to the AC
supply. The instrument can only be placed in a complete
Power Off state by physically disconnecting the power
cord from the AC supply.
The scope should be positioned to allow easy access to
the socket-outlet. To disconnect the scope from the AC
supply, unplug the instrument’s power cord from the AC
outlet after the scope is placed in Standby state.
See “Standby (Power) Switch and Scope Operational
States” section for more information.
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard!
Any interruption of the protective
conductor inside or outside of the
scope, or disconnection of the safety
ground terminal creates a hazardous
situation.
Intentional interruption is prohibited.
CAUTION
The outer shells of the front panel
terminals (CH1, CH2, CH3, CH4, AUX
IN, AUX OUT) are connected to the
instrument’s chassis and therefore to
the safety ground.
Standby (Power) Switch and Scope Operational States
The front Standby (Power) switch controls the operational state of the scope. This toggle switch is
activated by momentarily pressing and releasing it. The color of the LED below the switch indicates
the status of the scope as follows:
On (LED Green)* scope is fully powered and operational
Standby (LED Off)* scope is powered off (except for some “housekeeping” circuits)
Standby (LED Red) scope’s computer subsystems (hard drive, etc.) are in Standby (reduced
Power mode). All other scope subsystems are fully powered.
* Factory Settings
48WM-OM-E Rev I
Page 51
X-Stream Operator’s Manual
The scope’s factory settings result in only two basic scope states: On (LED Green) or Standby
(LED Off). In this case of Standby (LED Off), the scope is powered off with the exception of some
“housekeeping” circuitry (approximately 12 watts dissipation). The scope can only be placed in a
complete power off state by unplugging the instrument’s power cord from the primary power source
(AC outlet). It is recommended that the power cord be unplugged from the AC outlet if the scope is
not being used for an extended period of time.
You have the ability to change the scope original factory settings via the “Power Options
Properties” menu in Windows by following the path: Settings Power Options. It is important to note
that the Windows Power Option named “Standby” provides control of only the scope’s computer
subsystems (CPU, hard drive, etc.) and does not affect the other subsystems within the scope. In
general, these other subsystems remain fully powered. For additional information on setting these
Power Options, see the Windows Help menu or other related technical documentation. In terms of
control buttons, this scope uses only a power button/switch and therefore references to a sleep
button are not applicable.
The scope can always be placed in the Standby state (LED Off) Power Off (except for some
“housekeeping” circuits) by pressing and holding in the Standby toggle switch for approximately 5
seconds.
Fuse Replacement
Set the scope’s Standby (power) switch to Standby mode
(LED off) and disconnect the power cord before
inspecting or replacing the fuse. Open the black fuse
holder (located at the rear of the instrument directly to the
right of the AC inlet) using a small, flat-bladed
screwdriver. Remove the old fuse, replace it with a new
5x20 mm “T” rated 10.0 A/250 V fuse, and reinstall the
fuse holder.
For continued fire protection at all
line voltages, replace fuse with the
specified type and rating only.
Disconnect the power cord before
replacing fuse.
WARNING
Calibration
The recommended calibration interval is one year. Calibration should be performed by qualified
personnel only.
Cleaning
Clean only the exterior of the instrument, using a damp,
soft cloth. Do not use chemicals or abrasive elements.
Under no circumstances allow moisture to penetrate the
instrument. To avoid electrical shock, unplug the power
cord from the AC outlet before cleaning.

BASIC CONTROLS
Front Panel Controls
The control buttons of the instrument's front panel are logically grouped into analog and special
functional areas. Analog functions are included in the Horizontal, Trigger, and Vertical groups of
control buttons and knobs.
Sometimes you may want to change a value without using the numeric keypad. In that case, simply
touch once inside the data entry field in the scope dialog area (the field will be highlighted in yellow),
then use the Adjust group of buttons and single knob to dial in values into the selected field.
By default, the control knob makes coarse adjustments (that is, digits to the left of the decimal point).
Press the Fine button to adjust digits to the right of the decimal point. To enter exact values, you
can also display a keypad by touching twice inside the data entry field. Then use the keypad to type
in the value. The Select button steps through a dialog from one control to the next.
Example Data Entry Field
Note: You can set the granularity (delta) of the coarse adjustment in two ways:
• By pressing and holding the Fine front panel button while turning the Adjust knob. In this case you can read the changing
delta in the data entry field that is selected:
• By double-tapping inside the data entry field, then touching the Advanced checkbox in the pop-up numeric keypad. The

Dialog Boxes
The dialog area occupies the bottom one-third of the screen. To expand the signal display area,
you can minimize each dialog box by touching the Close tab at the right of the dialog box.
Alternate Access Methods
The instrument often gives you more than one way to access dialogs and menus.
Mouse and Keyboard Operation
In the procedures we focus on touch-screen operation, but if you have a mouse connected to the
instrument, you can also click on objects. Likewise, if you have a keyboard connected, you can use
it instead of the virtual keyboard provided by the instrument.
If you want to connect a mouse to the instrument, use only a USB mouse.
Tool Bar Buttons
The procedures also focus on the use of the menu bar at the top of the screen to access dialogs
and menus. However, on several dialogs common functions are accessible from a row of buttons
that save you a step or two in accessing their dialogs. For example, at the bottom of the Channel
Setup dialog, these buttons perform the following functions:
Calls up the Measure menu. You can then select a parameter from this menu
without leaving the Channel Setup dialog. The parameter automatically appears
below the grid.
Creates a zoom trace of the channel trace whose dialog is currently displayed.
Calls up the Math menu. You can then select a math function from this menu
without leaving the Channel Setup dialog. A math trace of the channel whose
dialog is currently open is automatically displayed.
Loads the channel trace into the next available memory location (M1 to M4).
Automatically performs a vertical scaling that fits the waveform into the grid.
Automatically moves the channel trace whose dialog is currently open onto the
next grid. If you have only one grid displayed, a new grid will be created
automatically, and the trace moved.
Another example is these buttons that appear at the bottom of the Measure Px dialogs. Each button
opens a menu from which to choose a math trace (F1 to Fx [The number of math traces available

Trace Descriptors
Vertical and horizontal trace descriptors (labels) are displayed below the grid. They provide a
summary of your channel, timebase, and trigger settings. To make adjustments to these settings,
touch the respective label to display the setup dialog for that function.
Channel trace labels show the vertical settings for the trace,
as well as cursor information if cursors are in use. In the title
bar of the label are also included indicators for (SinX)/X
interpolation, waveform inversion (INV), deskew (DSQ),
coupling (DC/GND), bandwidth limiting (BWL), and
averaging (AVG). These indicators have a long and short
form
.
Besides channel traces, math and parameter measurement
labels are also displayed. Labels are displayed only for
traces that are turned on.
The title bar of the TimeBase label shows the trigger delay
setting. Time per division and sampling information is given
below the title bar.
The title bar of the Trigger label shows the trigger mode:
Auto, Normal, or Stopped. Below the title bar is given the
coupling (DC), trigger type (Edge), source (C1), level (0

RESTORING SOFTWARE
Using the Recovery Disk – non-Windows XP Scopes
Your oscilloscope comes with a recovery disk to be used in the event that it becomes necessary to
reload the operating software. Follow the instructions displayed on-screen when loading the
recovery software.
System Recovery – Windows XP Scopes
Your oscilloscope was designed to operate very reliably for many years. However, the application
software that operates the instrument runs on a Windows platform. The loading or incomplete
removal of additional Windows applications may eventually cause problems in the stability of the
operating system. In severe cases, it may be necessary to reload the base operating system and
oscilloscope application. This can be done by using a recovery routine to restore a clean copy of
the image originally installed on the C: drive. Any user data and calibration data located within the
D: partition will not be affected by the recovery process.
LeCroy has provided a recovery application, along with a backup image, in an extra partition on the
instrument’s hard drive. The recovery process is easy to perform, using the instructions provided
below.
After the recovery procedure is done, you must activate Windows, either by internet connection to
Microsoft’s Web site or by telephone. For this you will need to supply the Windows Product Key
number, which is affixed to the rear of the scope.
Note: The recovery process will produce a replica of the operating system and oscilloscope application software to the
revision levels that were current at the time the oscilloscope was manufactured. Any further revisions of the application
software, Windows operating system, and virus scan definition files will not be upgraded automatically. After completion of
the disk image recovery, it is highly recommended that you search the vendors’ Web sites to upgrade the individual
components to their current revision level. The current oscilloscope application software can be downloaded directly from
the LeCroy Web site at www.lecroy.com.
Since the calibration data for the oscilloscope is stored in the D: drive, the current calibration constants will not be
overwritten during the recovery process.
Recovery Procedure
1. Connect an network cable to the LAN port at the rear of the scope if you intend to activate
windows through the internet.
2. Connect a keyboard and a mouse to the scope.
3. Apply power to the scope.

CONNECTING TO A SIGNAL
ProLink Interface
LeCroy's ProLink Adapters (LPA) give you the ability to connect your signal in one of three ways:
Note: When connecting an active probe to the instrument, be sure to use a ProLink BMA-to-BNC adapter (item 3 in the
figure). Do not plug the probe directly into the front panel connector (item 1) without an adapter.
WM-OM-E Rev I 81
Page 84
Connecting the Adapters
The mating end of the ProLink adapter has four fastening clips, as shown here:
When installing an adapter on the instrument's connector panel, align the male 6-pin connector with
the female connector and push the adapter straight in. There will be some resistance and you'll
hear clicks as the four clips slide into place. Then tighten the captive screws.
When removing an adapter, loosen the two captive screws. Push down on the adapter to unseat
the clips. This will require some force and will be initially noisy, but no damage will result to the
connector, the floating female BMA connector, or the pins, which can be 15 degrees off axis when
being mated or unmated.
ProBus Interface
LeCroy's ProBus® probe system provides a complete measurement solution from probe tip to
oscilloscope display. ProBus allows you to control transparent gain and offset directly from your
front panel. It is particularly useful for voltage, differential, and current active probes. It uploads gain
and offset correction factors from the ProBus EPROMs and automatically compensates to achieve
fully calibrated measurements.
This intelligent interconnection between your instrument and a wide range of accessories offers
important advantages over standard BNC and probe ring connections. ProBus ensures correct
input coupling by auto-sensing the probe type, thereby eliminating the guesswork and errors that
occur when attenuation or amplification factors are set manually.
82WM-OM-E Rev I
Page 85
X-Stream Operator’s Manual
AP-1M Hi-Z Adapter
The AP-1M adapter provides a means to connect a high-impedance input to your instrument. In
order to achieve high bandwidth with excellent signal integrity, these instruments have a +/-4 V
dynamic range and 50 termination to ground. However, for applications that combine one or more
high-speed signals with slower, higher-voltage signals, the AP-1M provides a 1 M input impedance
path and a full-scale range of +/-8 V. It is also suitable as an interface for current probes that require
a 1 M input path.
In addition to acting as a ProLink-to-ProBus adapter, the AP-1M also enables a much larger offset
voltage range (up to +/-50 V).
The AP-1M is supplied with a PP005A passive probe.
Auxiliary Output Signals
In addition to a calibration signal, the following signals can be output through the AUX OUTPUT
connector:
Square Wave
Trigger Out -- can be used to trigger another scope
DC level -- a reference level
WM-OM-E Rev I 83
Page 86
Trigger Enabled -- can be used as a gating function to trigger another
instrument when the scope is ready

Single-shot sampling mode
Basic Capture Technique
A single-shot acquisition is a series of digitized voltage values sampled on the input signal at a
uniform rate. It is also a series of measured data values associated with a single trigger event. The
acquisition is typically stopped a defined number of samples after this event occurs: a number
determined by the selected trigger delay and measured by the timebase. The waveform's
horizontal position (and waveform display in general) is determined using the trigger event as the
definition of time zero.
You can choose either a pre- or post-trigger delay. Pre-trigger delay is the time from the left-hand
edge of the display grid forward to the trigger event, while post-trigger delay is the time back to the
event. You can sample the waveform in a range starting well before the trigger event up to the
moment the event occurs. This is 100% pre-trigger, and it allows you to see the waveform leading
up to the point at which the trigger condition was met and the trigger occurred. (The instrument
offers up to the maximum record length of points of pre-trigger information.) Post-trigger delay, on
the other hand, allows you to sample the waveform starting at the equivalent of 10,000 divisions
after the event occurred.
Because each instrument input channel has a dedicated ADC (Analog-to-Digital Converter), the
voltage on each is sampled and measured at the same instant. This allows very reliable time
measurements between the channels.
WM-OM-E Rev I 85
Page 88
On fast timebase settings, the maximum single-shot sampling rate is used. But for slower
timebases, the sampling rate is decreased and the number of data samples maintained.
The relationship between sample rate, memory, and time can be simply defined as:
and
Sequence SAMPLING Mode Working With Segments
In sequence mode, the complete waveform consists of a number of fixed-size segments acquired
in single-shot mode (see the instrument specifications for the limits). Select the number of
segments to be captured, then select each segment individually and use it for processing with math
and measure tools.
Sequence mode offers a number of unique capabilities. With it, you can limit dead time between
trigger events for consecutive segments. The instrument can capture in fine detail complicated
sequences of events over large time intervals, while ignoring the uninteresting periods between the
events. You can also make time measurements between events on selected segments using the
full precision of the acquisition timebase.
Each individual segment can be zoomed or used as input to math functions.
The instrument uses the sequence timebase setting to determine the capture duration of each
segment: 10 x time/div. Along with this setting, the scope uses the desired number of segments,
maximum segment length, and total available memory to determine the actual number of samples
or segments, and time or points. However, the display of the complete waveform with all its
segments may not entirely fill the screen.
You can also use Sequence mode in remote operation to take full advantage of the instrument's
high data-transfer capability.

RIS Sampling Mode -- For Higher Sample Rates
RIS (Random Interleaved Sampling) is an acquisition technique that allows effective sampling rates
higher than the maximum single-shot sampling rate. It is used on repetitive waveforms with a stable
trigger. The maximum effective sampling rate of 50 GS/s can be achieved with RIS by making 100
single-shot acquisitions at 500 MS/s. The bins thus acquired are positioned approximately 20 ps
apart. The process of acquiring these bins and satisfying the time constraint is a random one. The
relative time between ADC sampling instants and the event trigger provides the necessary variation,
measured by the timebase to 5 ps resolution.
The instrument requires multiple triggers to complete an acquisition. The number depends on the
sample rate: the higher the sample rate, the more triggers are required. It then interleaves these
segments (see figure) to provide a waveform covering a time interval that is a multiple of the
maximum single-shot sampling rate. However, the real-time interval over which the instrument
collects the waveform data is much longer, and depends on the trigger rate and the amount of
interleaving required. The oscilloscope is capable of acquiring approximately 40,000 RIS segments
per second.
Note: RIS mode is not available when the scope is operating in Fixed Sample Rate mode.
When the SDA 11000 is operating in 11 GHz mode, RIS mode sampling is not available.

Roll Mode
Roll mode applies only to WavePro 7000A and WaveRunner 6000A series scopes. It is invoked
automatically when the time per division is 500 ms/div or greater. However, you can cancel Roll
Mode and return to Real Time mode at any time.
Roll mode displays, in real time, incoming points in single-shot acquisitions that have a sufficiently
low data rate. The oscilloscope rolls the incoming data continuously across the screen until a
trigger event is detected and the acquisition is complete. The parameters or math functions
connected to each channel are updated every time the roll mode buffer is updated, as if new data is
available. This resets statistics on every step of Roll mode that is valid because of new data.
Note: If the processing time is greater than the acquire time, the data in memory gets overwritten. In this case, the
instrument issues the warning: Channel data is not continuous in ROLL mode!!! and rolling will start over again.

To Enable Variable Gain
1. Touch the descriptor label for the waveform whose gain you want to vary.
2. Touch the Variable Gain check box.
Channel Deskew
Unlike the Deskew math function, channel Deskew does no resampling, but instead adjusts the
horizontal offset by the amount that you enter. The valid range is dependent on the current
timebase +/- 9 divisions.
To Set Up Channel Deskew
1. In the menu bar, touch Vertical; from the drop-down menu, select a channel to set up.
2. Touch inside the Deskew data entry field and enter a value using the pop-up numeric
keypad.

TIMEBASE AND ACQUISITION SYSTEM
Timebase Setup and Control
Set up the timebase by using the front panel Horizontal controls, just as for analog scopes. For
additional timebase setups
1. Touch Timebase in the menu bar, then Horizontal Setup... in the drop-down menu. The
"Horizontal" dialog appears.
2. Touch inside the Time/Division data entry field and enter a value using the pop-up
numeric keypad, or use the up/down arrows to adjust the value.
3. Touch inside the Delay data entry field and type in a value, using the pop-up keypad.
Touch the Set To Zero button to set the delay to zero.
4. Touch the SMART Memory button or tab and adjust the memory as needed.
Autosetup
When channels are turned on, Autosetup operates only on those turned-on channels. If no
channels are turned on, all channels are affected. When more than one channel is turned on, the
first channel in numerical order with a signal applied to it is automatically set up for edge triggering.
You can perform an autosetup of all these functions together by simply pressing
panel, or by touching Autosetup
drop-down menu.

Dual Channel Acquisition
Combining of Channels
Note: Does not apply to SDA 11000.
Channels can be combined to increase sample rate, memory, or both in order to capture and view
a signal in all its detail. When you combine channels, uncombined channels like EXT BNC remain
available for triggering, even though they are not displayed.
In 2-channel operation, channels 2 and 3 are active. In Auto operation, you can use channel 1 or 2,
and channel 3 or 4. On the paired channels the maximum sampling rate is doubled and the record
length is greatly increased:
Ch 1 & Ch 3 20 GS/s
Ch 1 & Ch 4 20 GS/s
Ch 2 & Ch 3 20 GS/s
Ch 2 & Ch 4 20 GS/s
As you can see, sampling can be maximized to 20 GS/s for any combination of two channels,

except a combination of channels 1 and 2, or channels 3 and 4, which yield 10 GS/s. The basic rule
is to choose either channel 1 or 2 for your first input, and either channel 3 or 4 for the second input.
Refer to Acquisition Modes in the specifications for maximum sample rates.
To Combine Channels
1. In the menu bar, touch Timebase; the "Horizontal" setup dialog opens.
2. Under Active Channels, touch 4, 2 or Auto. The maximum sample rate is shown
alongside each button.
SDA 11000 DBI Controls
The SDA 11000 scope’s 11 GHz bandwidth and 40 GS/s sampling rate are achieved by an
innovative LeCroy technology called Digital Bandwidth Interleaving (DBI). This technology allows
resources to be borrowed from unused channels to multiply not only sample rate but also
bandwidth.
When 11 GHz is selected, the active channels are either C2 or C3
or both, providing 40 GS/s sampling on each channel. For 6 GHz
bandwidth, all four channels can be used, providing 20 GS/s
sampling on each channel. Channels can be set to allow 11 GHz
and 6 GHz bandwidths at the same time, as shown at left.

SMART Memory
Note: When the SDA 11000 is in 11 GHz mode, only Fixed Sample Rate sampling is available.
LeCroy's SMART Memory feature ensures the highest time resolution for the time window
displayed, without aliasing. SMART Memory provides these advantages:
• Acquisition memory is automatically allocated as needed.
• Memory size optimization: Set Maximum Memory optimizes memory to obtain highest
sampling rate, reducing the risk of aliasing. You can set a maximum memory up to 48
Mpts.
•Fixed Sample Rate allows setting of a specific sample rate, with the scope calculating
the amount of memory needed for a timebase setting.
• The entire acquisition is displayed on the screen.
• High-speed compaction shows all significant features of your waveform.
You can set a maximum memory up to 48 Mpts.

TRIGGERING
Trigger Setup Considerations
Trigger Modes
Auto mode causes the scope to sweep even without a trigger. An internal timer triggers the sweep
so that the display remains, even when the signal does not cause a trigger.
In Normal mode, the scope sweeps only if the input signal reaches the set trigger point. Otherwise
it continues to display the last acquired waveform.
In Single mode, only one sweep occurs each time you press the button.
Stop mode inhibits all sweeps until you select one of the other three modes.
Trigger Types
The triggers available to you are defined as follows:
simple trigger, Edge trigger is activated by basic waveform features or conditions such
as positive or negative slope, and holdoff.
One of LeCroy's SMART Triggers®, Width trigger allows you to define a positive- or
negative-going pulse width bounded by a voltage level, above or below which a trigger
will occur. Or you can specify a pulse width and voltage range, within or outside of which
a trigger will occur.
Another of the SMART Triggers, Glitch trigger is a simpler form of Width trigger. Use
Glitch trigger when you want to define a fixed pulse-width time or time range only. Glitch
trigger makes no provision for voltage levels or ranges.
While Glitch trigger performs over the width of a pulse, Interval trigger performs over the
width of an interval the signal duration (the period) separating two consecutive edges of
the same polarity: positive to positive or negative to negative. Use interval trigger to
capture intervals that fall short of, or exceed, a given time limit. In addition, you can define
a width range to capture any interval that is itself inside or outside the specified range an
Exclusion trigger by interval.
The Qualify trigger is an edge-qualified SMART Trigger that allows you to use one
signal's positive or negative transition to qualify a second signal, which is the trigger
source. For Qualify trigger, you specify the time or number of events after the transition
when you want the trigger to occur.
The State trigger is a level-qualified SMART Trigger which requires that the qualifying
signal remain above or below a specified voltage level for a trigger to occur. For Sate
trigger, you specify the time or number of events after the signal has gone above or below
the voltage level when you want the trigger to occur.
