Simple, Fast Access to
Powerful Capabilities

Waverunner-2 scopes are the second generation
of the popular Waverunner series.They bring you
the power of LeCroy signal acquisition, viewing
and analysis capabilities with simple one-button
access. Using the new Wavepilot

™

feature, it’s
easier than ever to capture, view and analyze
long time duration, high-speed signals with high
resolution for accurate,precise results.

Easy to Use

Waverunner-2 scopes are designed to get you up
and running quickly.Their color-coded front pan­els and simple menu systems are easy to under­stand, so your focus is on the work and not the
tool. Common tasks are automatic. Navigation is
streamlined and intuitive.You’ll easily master their
powerful operations.

The Right Price

Waverunner-2 oscilloscopes raise the bar for
capability and value — you get more for your
money than with any other scope in this class.
And because Waverunner-2 scopes can be
upgraded, you can extend their life to meet
future needs.

Increase Your
Productivity

The new Wavepilot and QuickZoom buttons make
it simple to magnify,view,inspect or measure sig­nal details, to perform automatic measurements
on signals, and to graph measurements in fre­quency spectra, histogram,or trend format. With
TrackView, you can track problems to the source.
Additional signal analysis capabilities let you data­log, chain math functions and more. LeCroy’s sig­nal diagnostic and troubleshooting tools provide a
complete solution for characterization, debug and
signal analysis.

From Circuit to Scope

A variety of accessories are offered for effectively
connecting the Waverunner-2 to your circuit. The
LeCroy HFP small, lightweight probes assure you
high-bandwidth, low-capacitance connections to
your circuit. In addition, five interchangeable
probe tips are available for probing surface
mount devices, circuit vias, IC leads and other dif­ficult spots — making the HFP probes the best
choice for probing high-frequency circuits.
Current probes, differential probes and amplifiers
are also available.

Cursors

Press Wavepilot and select CURSORS,
then turn the knob for manual adjust­ment and measurement between
sections of your signal.

Measure

Select MEASURE to simultaneously dis­play up to 26 parameters on the signal
of your choice and quickly switch from
trace to trace. The Measure dashboard
is context-sensitive,so when you
display a histogram, you will see
statistical parameters.

Graph

Select GRAPH to automatically display
an FFT,histogram (optional) or
TrackView (optional). Setting up
signal analysis is simple with the
Wavepilot menus.

Application Packages

Select access to choose optional
application-specific solution
packages including Telecommunica­tions Mask Test, Jitter and Timing,
Power Measurements,and Data
Storage solutions.

GRAPH — Histogram

Histograms and Trends (optional) are popular
tools used to summarize measurement results.
LeCroy has made them easier than ever with
Wavepilot.Parameter selection is simple,and
graphs are automatically set up, scaled and dis­played.

From beginner to expert,it is now
easier than ever to apply the power
of the unique analysis tools available
from LeCroy. The Wavepilot function
provides simple access to powerful,
easy-to-use signal analysis for real
insight into problems.

Histogram with Signal Measurements

MEASURE is simple to activate from the Wavepilot
toolbar.The DASHBOARD view displays up to 26
standard signal parameters. You can also select a set
of custom parameters.

trace,the Histogram parameters can be dis­played instead of signal parameters.

One-touch insight into
any signal!

The Wavepilot function
provides fast access to
powerful signal analysis.

When you need to understand the frequency
content of your signal, spectrum analysis is
easily accessed through the Wavepilot button.

UNIQUE

SMART Triggers®

The Waverunner-2 scope’s trigger bar is simple
to operate. Run the scope in normal or auto
trigger modes, or capture one-time events
into scope memory as large as 8 Mpts with a
single-shot trigger. Triggering with
Waverunner-2 is direct, easy to read
and easy to understand.

SMART Trigger provides the flexibility needed
to quickly trigger on the specific signal
characteristic or pattern you are searching for.
All

Waverunner-2 oscilloscopes include SMART
Triggers. Trigger not only on what you expect
but also on unusual signals. Exclusion triggers
can exclude normal signals and capture only
the abnormal ones, speeding up the debug of
your circuits and systems. Trigger on signals
down to 2 ns in width. The optional Advanced
Trigger Package (ATP) extends

Waverunner-2’s
SMART Trigger capability by adding runt and
slew rate trigger for the capture of intermittent
events.

Use HISTORY Views to Find
Intermittents

Pressing the green Analog Persist button and
selecting History converts the scope into a fast
Analog Persistence fault-finder.The lifetime of
your signal is written into the History memory
and mapped on screen.You can measure each
signal, see its trigger time, and identify rare
events. Up to 4,000 events can be acquired for
playback.This is great
when you have inter­mittent problems and
want to know if they
occur at a rate related
to other circuit or sys­tem timing events.

Press “play” to replay
the signal history and
automatically scan
and search from
sweep to sweep.
Stop when you see
something of interest. The display shows the
Analog Persistence view of all acquired sweeps
as well as the individual sweep under inspec­tion. Since the time of each trigger event is dis­played with a resolution of 1 ns, you can easily
determine the rate of occurrence.

Waverunner-2 SMART Triggers

Name Triggers Conditions

Glitch From 2 ns - 20 s and when pulse is >, <, or in or out of a range
Interval Between edges and ranges of 10 ns - 20 s
Qualified By edge or state on a channel or if a pattern is present or absent
Qual First A single pulse qualifies a sequence of triggers.
Dropout If input drops out after a time from 25 ns - 20 s
Runt* Pulse levels, edge, widths from 2 ns - 20 s
Slew Rate* Slope, dV, dT from 1 ns - 20 ns
Pattern (logic) Logical combination of up to 5 inputs (3 on two-channel models).

Can also be used in combination with Qualified.

* Optional Advanced Trigger Package (ATP)

Waverunner-2 Basic Triggers

Name Description

Edge Select + or - slope and holdoff by time or events.
Window Triggers when signal crosses outside the window in either

direction.

Speed Up Debug and Analyze

HISTORY lets you see the intermittent Trigger on the problem,
and find how often it’s disrupting your design.

Runt triggering is great for capturing logic signals that exhibit
inadequate levels or spurious signals that interfere with cir­cuit operation.With the exclusion/inclusion feature,the scope
will only trigger on runt signals that are outside/within a
specified range of pulse width.

Probing Solutions

Active Probes

Convenient,Hands-Free Probing

To access the ever-increasing variety of test
points, today’s probing solutions need to be
versatile, small and lightweight. The new HFP
series of probes meets these needs with high
bandwidth, miniature size and a variety of
tip styles, making probing easier than before.

In combination with these innovative probe
tips, the unique HFP

FreeHand probe holder will
hold the probe on test points to maintain sig­nal fidelity.The end result of HFP “hands-free”
probing is the enhanced ability to analyze
waveforms instead of having to focus energy
on keeping the probe itself in place.

AutoColor ID

When the probe is connected to a
Waverunner-2 scope, our new patent-pending
AutoColor ID feature automatically senses and
illuminates the probe head in that channel’s
trace color.You no longer need to worry about
plastic rings or colored tape to identify which
channel on the scope is connected to a
particular test point.
