The Teledyne LeCroy WaveRunner 9254M is a 2.5 GHz digital storage oscilloscope with mixed-signal capability, delivering 40 GS/s sample rate across two channels and 20 GS/s across all four analog channels. It integrates 16 digital channels at 1.25 GS/s, enabling simultaneous capture and analysis of analog, digital, and serial communication signals. Deep acquisition memory of up to 64 Mpts per channel supports long-duration waveform capture at maximum sample rates. The 15.4″ capacitive touchscreen with MAUI OneTouch interface provides intuitive access to advanced triggering, FFT analysis, and serial data decoding across 29 industry standards. Vertical resolution reaches 11 bits with sensitivity from 1 mV/div to 10 V/div and offset ranges up to ±10 V, making it suitable for precision signal characterization in high-speed digital and mixed-signal design workflows.
