The LeCroy WaveExpert NRO9000 is a 100 GHz near real-time oscilloscope that combines sampling-grade bandwidth with real-time acquisition flexibility. Using Coherent Interleaved Sampling (CIS), the instrument phase-locks its sample clock to input signal bit rates, enabling capture of complex serial data waveforms at approximately 10 MS/s with 14-bit resolution. The four-channel platform integrates advanced analysis tools—FFT, jitter measurement, eye pattern analysis, and comprehensive math functions—alongside a built-in 12.5 Gb/s serial pattern generator and TDR pulse output capability.
