The LeCroy 9310A is a dual-channel digital oscilloscope delivering 400 MHz bandwidth and 100 MS/s real-time sampling on each channel simultaneously. Built for signal analysis across research, design validation, and system integration, this instrument combines high-resolution acquisition with advanced triggering and waveform processing. Its configurable memory architecture and precision timebase enable both single-shot capture and repetitive signal analysis with equivalent-time sampling reaching 10 GS/s.
