The LeCroy 204 WaveAce is a 60 MHz, 4-channel digital oscilloscope engineered for signal troubleshooting, debugging, and waveform analysis. It delivers real-time acquisition at 1 GS/s per channel, interleaved sampling to 2 GS/s, and RIS (Random Interleaved Sampling) at 50 GS/s for high-frequency signal capture. With 10 kpts memory per channel (20 kpts interleaved), the instrument extends observation windows for detailed signal characterization across multiple acquisition modes including Peak Detect, Averaging, and Equivalent Time sampling.
