MS-32 Oscilloscope Mixed Signal Option — Add 32 Digital Channels to a 4 Channel Oscilloscope 

Finally, the ultimate solution for mixed signal oscilloscopes — enough channels. LeCroy's MS-32 and a WaveSurfer® or WaveRunner® oscilloscope provide 4 analog and 32 digital channels for powerful measurement capability.

Leading Features
  • 32 digital channels
  • Long capture time (1 Mpts/Ch of digital memory, always available)
  • Ability to capture up to 125 MHz digital clocks
  • Simple oscilloscope setup and user interface
     
4 Analog + 32 Digital Channel Capability
 
LeCroy introduces the first oscilloscope solution to combine 4 analog channels with 32 digital channels. This is ideal for the most efficient testing of 16-bit embedded controllers, where all 16 ADDR and 16 DATA lines can be viewed at one time. Or, a multitude of ADDR and DATA lines can be viewed, in addition to control lines and low-speed serial data lines (SPI, I2C, etc.). Testing and debugging efficiency is greatly enhanced by eliminating the need to continuously disconnect/reconnect signals to observe different behaviors.
 
Enhanced Test and Analysis Capabilities for Mixed Signal Environments
 
LeCroy now offers the perfect solution for embedded controller testing where there are multiple analog signals coincident with digital signals. Analog signals include comparators, voltage sources, sensor/actuator signals, etc.; while digital signals include address or data lines, control signals, or peripheral serial data signals.

Users can capture all their signal information using long memory, or set up digital or analog trigger conditions to capture the event of interest. Signal debug is simple, using standard oscilloscope tools, such as cursors, measurement parameters, and zooming.

 

 
  Mix Signal Testing Features
Long Digital Capture Time
1 Mpts of digital memory/channel ensures that users can capture their area of interest. 1 Mpts is always available on every channel.
Parallel Bus Definition
The digital information obtained by viewing parallel ADDR or DATA bus information can be defined as a bus display. Users can also define a digital trigger for a particular bus value. Up to 4 different buses can be defined.
User Interface
A familiar interface eliminates the need to spend a lot of time learning a new tool.
Resize/Reposition
Digital lines can be resized and repositioned anywhere on the oscilloscope grid by using the front panel controls or software menus.
Flexibly Trigger
Select from a number of different analog triggers; or create a digital trigger by defining a digital trigger pattern, logic bus value, or interval.
Cursors
Cursors will read time or bus information, as appropriate.
Quick Setup
Unlike a traditional Logic Analyzer, the MS-32 is easy to use. A single module consolidates all of the MS-32/oscilloscope interconnections, so users can start viewing signals and debugging quickly. In addition, all standard oscilloscope tools are readily accessible.
