A good oscilloscope should simplify how you work and shorten the time it takes to find and debug problems. The WaveAce? combines long memory, a color display, extensive measurement capabilities, advanced triggering and excellent connectivity to improve troubleshooting and shorten debug time. With bandwidths from 60 MHz to 300 MHz, sample rates up to 2 GS/s and waveform memory up to 9 kpts/Ch (18 kpts interleaved) the WaveAce exceeds all expectations of a small affordable oscilloscope.
Long Capture and Zoom
Small, portable oscilloscopes often suffer from short capture time due to the small waveform memory. The WaveAce is available in 4 kpts/Ch and 9 kpts/Ch configurations which is up 2 to 3 times more than competitive products. More memory results in longer capture times showing more waveform detail with each trigger. Activate the built-in zoom function to take a closer look at the details.
Long Capture Time
- Memory is critical for maintaining proper sample rate during long data captures
- WaveAce has up to 10 kpts/ch (20 kpts interleaved) which enables high sample rate capture times 2 to 3 times longer than most competitors
- Most competitive products have only 2.5 kpts/ch or 4 kpts/ch memory
- Pushing the T/div knob on WaveAce enables the built-in zoom capabilities to get a closer look at the waveforms
Automatic Measurements
With 32 standard automatic measurements the WaveAce simplifies how you work. Display up to 4 measurements without crowding the waveform display or show all 32 at once with the measurement dashboard. A wide range of advanced timing parameters provide insight to the relationship between 2 different signals.
Math and Measurements
- WaveAce offers addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and FFT capabilities
- FFT is up to 1 kpts with 4 different windows and 2 vertical scales to choose from
- WaveAce has 32 selectable automated measurement parameters
- Display up to 4 simultaneously without blocking the waveform grid
- Dashboard of up to 32 measurements can be displayed at once on the waveform grid
- All common vertical and horizontal waveform measurements are included
- A large number of advanced timing measurements for phase, delay and time between edges on different waveforms go beyond what competitive products will offer
Waveform Math
The WaveAce provides five math functions including Add, Subtract, Multiply, Divide and FFT. The FFT capability includes the choices of four windows and two different vertical scales.
Connectivity
The WaveAce provides a USB host port on the front panel for saving screen images, waveforms and setups to a memory stick. A rear panel USB device port allows for connection to a PC or PictBridge printer. Connecting and communicating with a PC is simplified with EasyScope software providing full access to the oscilloscope?s display, measurements, waveform data and front panel controls through USB or RS-232.
Documentation and Connectivity
- WaveAce has USB port on the front panel for saving waveforms, setups and screen shots to a memory stick
- Rear panel USB connects to printers for hardcopy screen shots
- Rear panel also provides PC connectivity through EasyScope software for saving waveforms, setups and screenshots via USB and LAN
Pass/Fail Test
With built-in Pass/Fail Mask testing the WaveAce can quickly identify problems and let you know when they occur. A history of the P/F results can be displayed on the screen.
Large Internal Storage
Saving and recalling waveforms and setups from internal memory can save a lot of time during test and debug. The WaveAce can save up to 20 waveforms, 20 setups and 2 reference waveforms to the internal memory.
Acquisition Modes
Different applications call for different acquisitions mode. The WaveAce offers Real Time, Equivalent Time, Peak Detect and Averaging modes to ensure that any waveform can be captured and displayed.
Digital Filter
Digital filtering is available on each channel of the WaveAce. The Low-Pass, High-Pass, Band-Pass and Band-Stop filters allow you to isolate only the frequencies you want to see.
Trigger
Edge triggering is not always the best choice for every signal. Beyond the basic edge trigger is a set of trigger capabilities which include Pulse Width, Video and Slope (Rise Time) triggers
Waveform Sequence Recorder
Capture and replay a sequence of up to 2500 waveforms to isolate that runt or glitch which is causing problems in your system.
