The LeCroy WaveRunner 8104 is a 1 GHz, 4-channel real-time oscilloscope engineered for high-speed signal capture, analysis, and validation in complex electronic designs. Built on the MAUI™ platform with OneTouch operation, it delivers 10–20 GS/s sampling and up to 32 Mpts/channel memory for detailed waveform investigation. The instrument accommodates signals from DC to 1 GHz with 8-bit resolution (expandable to 11 bits via Enhanced Resolution), making it suitable for debug, characterization, and production testing across analog and mixed-signal applications.
