The Teledyne LeCroy WaveRunner 204Xi-A is a highly capable 2 GHz, 4-channel Digital Storage Oscilloscope (DSO) designed for debugging, serial data analysis, and power measurements. Built with a compact footprint of only 15 cm depth and a bright 10.4-inch touch screen display, it delivers an impressive sample rate of up to 10 GS/s (interleaved) and a standard record length of 12.5 Mpts/ch. Standard features include the WaveScan advanced search tool, WaveStream fast viewing mode, and deeply integrated math and analysis capabilities, making it an exceptional troubleshooting tool for both slow-speed analog and high-speed digital designs.
