Teledyne LeCroy SDA-813Zi-B Serial Data Analyzer Oscilloscope

The Teledyne LeCroy SDA-813Zi-B is a four-channel serial data analyzer oscilloscope engineered for high-speed signal characterization and compliance verification. Built on the WaveMaster 8 Zi Series platform, it delivers 13 GHz analog bandwidth and 80 GS/s maximum sample rate to capture and analyze complex serial data patterns. The instrument isolates signal integrity failures, eye pattern degradation, and compliance violations with hardware-level serial triggering up to 14.1 Gb/s and pattern recognition across 80-bit sequences. Engineers rely on it to debug and verify designs in demanding applications where root-cause analysis of digital communication signals is critical.
