The Teledyne LeCroy WaveRunner Xi-A is the most powerful and capable scope available in its class. Basic system validation using advanced triggers, fast viewing modes, measurement parameters, or serial decodes is simple and easy. Advanced debug, multi-domain analysis, and waveshape analysis are possible with tools unique to WaveRunner Xi-A. Optional application packages help you make sense of well-defined problems.

Trigger on I²C, SPI, UART, RS-232, AudioBus (I²S, LJ, RJ, TDM), LIN, CAN, or FlexRay or MIL-STD-1553 serial data patterns. Intuitively decode values on the oscilloscope grid.

An extensive collection of SMART, Serial, and Digital (MS Series) triggers enables users to quickly and easily isolate events of interest (some optional).

Use the high sampling rate and WaveStream fast viewing mode to characterize signal shape, rise time, overshoot, etc., and verify the presence or absence of high-speed transients.

Sequence Mode allows you to partition your acquisition memory into segments and capture specific events over long periods of time. Then, view and analyze each segment individually.

Search and Analysis WaveScan provides the ability to locate unusual events in a single capture, or scan for an event in many acquisitions over a long period of time using more than 20 different search/scan modes. Use ScanHisto or ScanOverlay to display intuitive scanned results.

Quickly create your own measurement parameters or math functions using Excel, MATLAB®, or VBScripts (some capability optional).

Use a variety of application packages to provide detailed, fast solutions for specific problems.

WaveRunner Xi-As long memory is optimized for calculation of more information 10–100x faster than other oscilloscopes, while enabling easy access to simple zooming and positioning from the front panel.

More standard and optional measurements and more powerful math capability are provided with results returned faster than in other oscilloscopes.

Amplify your understanding with multidomain analysis of your signals. Convert signal information into Statistical domain (Histogram), Spectral domain (long memory FFTs), Jitter, Modulation, or other Measurement Parameter domains (Tracks of measurement parameters). (Some capability is optional.)

Teledyne LeCroy math, measure, and analysis tools are tightly integrated with basic scope operations. Its easy to link capabilities and expand understanding. Free yourself from constraints!

A wide variety of active FET probes, current probes, differential probes, HV probes, etc. with complete tip and ground accessories make it easy to probe your signals.

The MS Series can capture digital signals with speeds up to 500 MHz. View up to 36 digital channels with up to 50 Mpts/Ch memory and analyze analog and digital events together.

Excellent overdrive recovery and signal integrity make WaveRunner Xi-A ideal for high-voltage switching loss, conduction loss, ripple, switching power supply, and other amplifier measurements. Use with Teledyne LeCroy Differential Amplifiers for highperformance 100,000:1 Common Mode Rejection Ratio.

Extensive triggers allow fast event isolation. Measure timing statistically and view behavior graphically using histograms. Gain real understanding of root cause.

Long memory, HFREJ trigger coupling, built-in noise filtering, etc. enable fast understanding of signal behavior in circuits with a mix of slow-speed (sensor, actuator, power supply, mechanical) and high-speed signals.
