The LeCroy 224 WaveAce is a 200 MHz, 4-channel digital oscilloscope engineered for circuit debugging, signal analysis, and electronic test applications. It delivers real-time acquisition at 2 GS/s interleaved (1 GS/s per channel) with 1.75 ns risetime, supported by a 5.7-inch color LCD display and 10 kpts/channel waveform memory. Advanced triggering, 32 automatic measurements, FFT analysis, and built-in Pass/Fail mask testing accelerate fault isolation and validation workflows.
