The LeCroy WaveStation 3082 is a 2-channel arbitrary waveform generator delivering 80 MHz bandwidth with 14-bit vertical resolution and 500 MS/s sample rate. This compact instrument generates five basic waveform types—sine, square, ramp, pulse, and noise—plus over 40 built-in arbitrary waveforms across a 1 μHz to 80 MHz output range. Advanced modulation capabilities include AM, PM, FM, ASK, PSK, and FSK, with linear and logarithmic sweep functions and burst operation for dynamic signal synthesis.
The WaveStation 3082 combines high-resolution waveform memory (512 kpts) with intuitive front-panel controls and a color TFT-LCD display for real-time parameter visualization. PC-based graphical editing software enables point-by-point waveform construction, mathematical operations, and filtering, with direct USB transfer to the instrument. Dual synchronous outputs allow creation of differential signal pairs, ideal for mixed-signal validation and multi-channel test scenarios.
