The WaveSurfer ®  MXs-B and MSO MXs-B oscilloscopes pack high performance hardware, powerful waveform processing and advanced math, measurement and debug tools into a compact form factor with a large touch screen display and intuitive user interface.

With up to 10 GS/s sample rate and 32 Mpts of memory WaveSurfer can capture large amounts of data at very high sample rates. Other oscilloscopes offer long memory but they bog down trying to process or display it. WaveSurfer handles large amounts of data quickly providing fast processing of long memory even when using math and measurement functions. The software responds immediately to the user inputs even while processing data.

System debug often requires more than analog channels. The MSO MXs-B delivers 18 digital channels which can capture digital signals of up to 250 MHz. The  MSO MXs-B offer analog and digital cross-triggering plus measurement tools to help debug digital busses. Teledyne LeCroy’s WaveScan™ search and find tool will scan both analog and digital channels for anamolies plus scan multiple digital lines for a parallel bus pattern.

TOUCH SCREEN SIMPLICITY

INTUITIVE USER INTERFACE TO FIND PROBLEMS FASTER

The WaveSurfer MXs-B and MSO MXs-B oscilloscopes makes everyday testing simpler and easier. The intuitive user interface and streamlined front panel make it easy to turn on the oscilloscope and start making measurements. The interface is designed so that all the common measurements and functions are just one touch away.

1. Only 15 cm (6”) Deep - The most space-efficient oscilloscope for your bench from 200 MHz to 1 GHz.
2. Local Language User Interface - Select from 10 language  preferences. Add a front panel overlay with your local language.
3. Bright 10.4” Display - You’ll never use a small display oscilloscope again. A fantastic viewing angle makes it easy to view.
4. “Push” Knobs -  Trigger level, delay, and offset knobs all provide shortcuts to common  actions when pushed.
5. Zoom Control Knobs - Navigate zoom or math traces with the multiplexed horizontal knobs.
6. WaveStream Fast Viewing Mode - Provides a lively, analog-like feel similar to a phosphor trace. Adjust “trace” intensity with the front panel control, or toggle between WaveStream and real-time modes.
7. Dedicated Cursor Knobs - Select type of cursor, position them on your signal, and read values without ever opening a menu.
8. Touch Screen with Built-in Stylus - The most time-efficient user interface is even easier to use with a built-in stylus.

IDENTIFY AND ISOLATE PROBLEMS FASTER 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.

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 Teledyne LeCroy strength of fast  processing of data. A Teledyne 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.

Advanced Waveform Capture with Sequence Mode

Use Sequence mode to store up to 5,000 triggered events as “segments” into memory. This can be ideal when capturing many fast pulses in quick succession or when capturing events separated by long time periods. Sequence mode provides timestamps for each acquisition and minimizes dead-time between triggers to less than 1 µ s. Combine Sequence mode with advanced triggers to isolate rare events over time and analyze afterwards.
 

LABNOTEBOOK™ A UniqUe Tool for DocUmenTATion AnD reporT GenerATion

The LabNotebook feature of WaveSurfer MXs-B and MSO MXs-B provides a report generation tool to save and document all your work. Saving all displayed waveforms, relevant settings, and screen images is all done through LabNotebook, eliminating the need to navigate multiple menus to save all these files independently.
 

 

The touch screen and stylus allow for easy annotation  of the screen. LabNotebook allows you to add freehand text and graphics in multiple colors along with printed text and arrows to help identify important parts of your waveforms and measurements. Annotated screen captures can be included in custom reports.

EMBEDDED CONTROLLER DESIGN AND DEBUG

Teledyne LeCroy’s versatile MSO MXs-B mixed signal oscilloscope combines the powerful WaveSurfer MXs-B with the flexibility of digital inputs using the MS-250. In addition, the many triggering and decoding options turn the MSO MXs-B into an all-in-one analog, digital, and serial data trigger, acquisition, and debug machine.

 

High-performance Mixed Signal Capabilities

Embedded controller design and debug involves capturing and viewing a number of different types of signals. These signals are typically a mix of analog, digital, and serial data wave- forms from a combination of analog sensors, microcontrollers and peripheral devices. With the ability to capture digital signals with speeds up to 250 MHz and long memory of 10 Mpts/Ch the MSO MXs-B provides unmatched mixed signal performance. The MSO MXs-B is the ideal tool for testing embedded systems with 8-bit micro- controllers or slower digital signals. With 18 digital inputs each with 250 MHz max. input frequency and 10 Mpts/Ch memory, the MSO MXs-B is an outstanding value and provides a complete set of tools for embedded system testing.

Extensive Triggering

The MSO MXs-B has extensive digital trigger capabilities. Normal oscilloscope triggers will operate on digital inputs. Cross-pattern triggering allows for sim- ple or complex trigger patterns to be setup with any combination of analog and digital channels. Event triggering can be configured to arm on an analog signal and trigger on a digital pattern.

Quick Mixed Signal Setup, Easy-to-use

Unlike a traditional Logic Analyzer, the MSO MXs-B is easy to use. A simple connection links the oscilloscope with the digital inputs so users can start viewing signals and begin debugging quickly. In addition, all standard oscilloscope tools are readily accessible. Signal debug is simple, using standard oscilloscope tools, such as cursors, measurement parameters, and zooming.

SERIAL TRIGGER AND DECODE OPTIONS

 

	Supported Serial Data Protocols I2C, SPI, UART CAN, LIN, FlexRay™, SENT Ethernet 10/100BaseT, USB 1.0/1.1/2.0, USB 2.0-HSIC Audio (I2S, LJ, RJ, TDM) MIL-STD-1553, ARINC 429 MIPI D-PHY, DigRF 3G, DigRF v4 Manchester, NRZ
View decoded protocol information on top of physical layer waveforms and trigger on protocol specific messages.

Debugging serial data busses can be confusing and time consuming. The serial data and decode options for MSO MXs-B provide time saving tools for serial bus debug and validation.

Powerful Serial Data Triggers

The serial data trigger will quickly isolate events on a bus eliminating the need to set manual triggers and hoping to catch the right information. Trigger conditions can be entered in binary or hexadecimal formats and conditional trigger capabilities even allow triggering on a range of differ- ent events.

Intuitive, Color-Coded Decode Overlay

Protocol decoding is shown directly on the waveform with an intuitive, color-coded overlay and presented in binary, hex or ASCII. Decoding on the MSO MXs-B is fast even with long memory and zooming in to the waveform shows precise byte by byte decoding.

Table Summary and Search/Zoom

To further simplify the debug process all decoded data can be displayed in a table below the waveform grid. Selecting an entry in the table with the touch screen will display just that event. Additionally, built-in search functionality will find specific de- coded values.
