The LeCroy WavePro 960XL is a 2 GHz digital oscilloscope engineered for signal integrity analysis, embedded system design, and high-speed data acquisition. It captures fast transient events with up to 16 GS/s single-shot sampling and 50 GS/s for repetitive signals, supported by four analog channels and selectable acquisition memory from 1 Mpts to 64 Mpts per channel. The instrument delivers 8-bit vertical resolution (11 bits with Enhanced Resolution) across a fully variable sensitivity range of 1 mV to 2 V/div, with input options for both 50 Ω and 1 MΩ impedance. SMART Memory automatically optimizes the relationship between memory depth and sample rate, while advanced triggering capabilities—including Glitch, Interval, Qualified, Dropout, Runt, and Slew Rate triggers—enable detection of complex signal anomalies. The timebase spans 200 ps/div to 1000 s/div with 5 ps interpolator resolution and ≤10 ppm clock accuracy. DC accuracy is ±2.0% full scale plus 1.5% offset value at gains exceeding 10 mV. With rise time under 175 ps and channel-to-channel isolation exceeding 250:1, the instrument suits critical applications demanding precise waveform capture and real-time signal characterization. Bandwidth limiters at 20 MHz and 200 MHz provide noise rejection, while an intuitive interface and high-resolution color display enable efficient operation in demanding engineering environments.
