Great Tools You’ve Always Wanted
How about a fast viewing analog display mode (WaveStream™)
that can be toggled ON or OFF? How about a capture and
search tool (WaveScan
™
) that lets you search for events you
can’t trigger on? How about an I
2
C serial trigger that lets
you trigger conditionally on data values, or serial decoders
(SPI, I2C UART, RS-232, LIN, or CAN) that are intuitively
overlaid on the waveform and make understanding serial
data easy? How about fast, responsive long memory that
works quickly with measurements, math, and decodes?
Or a mixed signal option? WaveSurfer provides all this
and more.
Perfectly Balanced
The WaveSurfer Xs oscilloscope is designed for fast and
efficient validation and debug. Its simple, uncluttered, touch
screen interface has what you need, where you need it.
It will quickly earn a permanent place on your bench.
A Great Combination
You’ll be hard pressed to find a scope in its class that offers
a better combination of performance, features, and value.
With 2-channel and 4-channel configurations and bandwidths
from 200 MHz to 1 GHz, it’s tough to beat the
value of a WaveSurfer Xs.
The Essential Tools for
Efficient Validation and Debug
Anyone can appreciate a well designed prod -
uct with all the right performance, features,
and design elements. The WaveSurfer Xs
oscilloscope is just such a product.
Validation and debug is fast and simple. The
big display (but small footprint), simplified
front panel, and graphical touch screen user
interface will allow you to be efficient in a
matter of minutes. And you’ll love how it fits
your budget.

What You Need and What You Want
Many oscilloscopes look great on paper—WaveSurfer Xs delivers
in the real world. Its capabilities meet your needs for capturing,
viewing, and measuring waveforms, and also provide unexpected
capabilities for faster debug. WaveSurfer Xs—the new standard
to judge other oscilloscopes by.
Powerful Basic and
Advanced Triggering
A multitude of powerful and flexible
triggers are provided to meet any need.
Use an advanced SMART Trigger™to
isolate a specific event of interest, and
narrow the long capture around that
event. Trigger on what you expect
(widths, glitches, video, logic patterns,
etc.) and also trigger on unusual signals
(dropouts, intervals, runts, slew rates).
LeCroy’s exclusion triggering can
exclude normal signals and capture
only the abnormal ones, speeding up
the debug of your circuits and systems.
Trigger on signals down to 1 ns in
width (500 ps for width and glitch
trigger). Use an “A” condition to qualify
a “B” trigger. Digital triggering is
provided with the MS Series
Mixed Signal Oscilloscope option.
(Some advanced triggering capability
is optional).
Long Capture Time
2.5 Mpts/Ch of fast acquisition memory
standard (10 Mpts/Ch optional) provides
long capture time—up to 400 ms at full
sample rate, and longer times at lower
sample rates. This greatly assists in
debugging common circuit problems
such as clock/data issues and timing
errors. Use the touch screen to
quickly “draw a box” around the area
of interest and zoom all channels to
the desired area. Then, adjust zoom
position and ratio from the front panel
or the graphical touch screen UI.
WaveSurfer Xs long memory is also
thoughtfully designed to respond
quickly even when measurements,
math, or serial decoders are being used.
WaveStream™Fast Viewing Mode
WaveStream provides a vibrant, intensity
graded (256 levels) display with a fast
update to closely simulate the look and
feel of an analog oscilloscope.
Turn WaveStream ON or OFF, and
adjust intensity, using the front panel
knob. Use it only when you want to.

WaveScan™Advanced Search
Searching for data is very helpful, but
wouldn’t it be better to Search for some-
thing you can’t trigger on? WaveScan
allows searching in a single acquisition
using more than 20 different modes.
Or, set up a Scan condition and scan
for an event over hours or days, and
perform some action when it is found.
Mixed Signal Oscilloscope Option
Add high-performance mixed signal
capability to a WaveSurfer Xs. Capture
digital signals up to 500 MHz with up
to 50 Mpts/Ch memory, 2 GS/s, and
18 or 36 channels.
I2C, SPI, UART, RS-232, LIN, and
CAN Trigger & Decode (optional)
Complete I2C, SPI, UART, RS-232, LIN,
and CAN serial triggering, including
powerful conditional data triggering,
allows quick and easy isolation of
specific events on your embedded
controller. Trigger on DATA in specific
locations of long I2C EEPROM reads,
or trigger on sensor values outside of
a certain range. Intuitive, color-coded
decode overlay helps you understand
your serial data signals quickly. Search
for data patterns, or view the protocol
data in a table. Export table data to
Excel. (Capabilities are optional).
ZS Series High Impedance
Active Probes (Accessories)
LeCroy’s new ZS Series of high imped-
ance active probes provide full band-
width at the probe tip, and the high
impedance (0.9 pF, 1 MΩ) you want.
A variety of standard and available
probe tip and grounding accessories
are offered to meet any requirement.
What’s more, ZS Series probes are
available for a very affordable price.
Use the ZS1000 with 200 and
600 MHz WaveSurfers and the
ZS1500 with 1 GHz WaveSurfers
to give full system bandwidth at the
probe tip.

Since the scanning
“modes” are not simply
copies of the hardware
trig gers, the utility and
capa bility is much higher.
For instance, there is no “frequency”
trigger in any oscilloscope, yet
WaveScan allows for “frequency” to be
quickly “scanned.” This allows the user
to accumulate a data set of unusual
events that are separated by hours or
days, enabling faster debugging. When
used in multiple acquisitions, WaveScan
builds on the traditional LeCroy strength
of fast processing of data. A LeCroy
X-Stream oscilloscope will quickly
scan millions of events looking for
unusual occurrences, and do it much
faster and more efficiently than other
oscilloscopes can.
WaveStream Fast Viewing Mode
WaveStream provides a vibrant, inten-
sity 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.
Timing jitter is often visually assessed
to understand approximate behavior.
WaveStream makes it easy to under-
stand jitter on edges or in eye diagrams.
WaveStream also excels in allowing
you to relate composite (WaveStream)
to single-event (real-time sampled)
behaviors. Just capture in WaveStream
mode, toggle to view or zoom a single
trace, then toggle back to WaveStream
mode.
8
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 (frequency, rise time, runt, duty cycle,
etc.), apply a search condition, and begin scanning.

I2C, SPI, UART, RS-232, CAN, and LIN Serial Trigger and Decode
Complete I2C, SPI, UART, RS-232,
CAN, and LIN Serial Triggering
Quickly and easily isolate specific
serial data events on your embedded
controller for better understanding and
faster debug. Set up trigger conditions
in binary, or hexadecimal formats. Use
the EXT input for the clock signal and
keep an additional analog oscilloscope
channel open for other uses. Trigger on
DATA in specific locations of long I2C
EEPROM reads. Get complete control
of your debug process and finish faster.
Powerful Conditional Data
Triggering Isolates Problems
Use a conditional I2C, UART, or LIN
DATA trigger to select a range of DATA
values to trigger on, not just a single
DATA value. Oftentimes, I2C utilizes
DATA bytes to specify sub-addresses
for accessing memory locations in
EEPROMs. Conditional DATA trigger
allows triggering on a range of DATA
bytes that correspond to reads or
writes to specific sub-address memory
blocks in the EEPROM. It can also
aid in monitoring DATA outputs from
sensors, such as analog-to-digital
converters, and triggering when DATA
is outside a safe operating range. In
both cases, verifying proper operation
becomes a simple task.
Intuitive, Color-Coded
Decode Overlay
Advanced software algorithms decon-
struct the waveform into binary, hex, or
ASCII protocol information, then over-
lay the decoded data on the waveform.
Various sections of the protocol are
color-coded to make it easy to under-
stand. The decode operation is fast—
even with long acquisitions.
Table Summary and
Search/Zoom
Turn your oscilloscope into a protocol
analyzer with the Table display of proto-
col information. Customize the table, or
export Table data to an Excel file. Touch
a message in the table and automati-
cally zoom for detail. Search for specific
address or data values in the acquisition.
10
One-touch Access to
23 Measurements

around the area to be zoomed (or use the front panel quick
zoom button). Then, use the horizontal knobs to adjust the
zoom ratio and position.
