Debug in High Definition

High Definition Oscilloscopes with HD Technology have a variety of benefits that allow the user to debug in high definition. Waveforms displayed by High Definition Oscilloscopes are cleaner and crisper. More signal details can be seen and measured; these measurements are made with unmatched precision resulting in better test results and shorter debug time.

Experience HD4096 accuracy, detail, and precision and never use an 8-bit oscilloscope again. Whether the application is general-purpose design and debug, high-precision analog, power electronics, automotive electronics, mechatronics, or other specialized applications, the HD4096 technology provides unsurpassed confidence and measurement capabilities.

Clean, Crisp Waveforms

When compared to waveforms acquired and displayed using conventional 8-bit oscilloscopes, waveforms captured with HD4096 12-bit technology are dramatically crisper and cleaner, and are displayed more accurately.

More Signal Details

16x more resolution provides more signal detail. This is especially helpful for wide dynamic range signals in which a full-scale signal must be acquired while at the same time very small amplitude signal details must be analyzed.

Unmatched Measurement Precision

HD4096 technology delivers measurement precision several times better than conventional 8-bit oscilloscopes. Higher oscilloscope measurement precision provides better ability to assess corner cases and design margins, perform root cause analysis, and create the best possible solution for any discovered design issue.

HD1024 technology

provides 10 bits of vertical resolution with 4 GHz bandwidth. As with all members of Teledyne LeCroy’s HDO family, the HDO9000 utilizes an exceptionally low-noise system architecture that delivers outstanding effective number of bits (ENOB). Dynamic ADC Configuration permits the ADC to be set to 8, 9, or 10 bits. Optimized filtering provides additional resolution beyond 10 bits (extending up to 13.8 bits).

2. Configure parameters by touching measurement results.
3. Shortcuts to commonly used functions are displayed at the bottom of the channel, math and memory menus.
4. Use the “Add New” button for one-touch trace creation.
5. Drag to change source, copy setup, turn on new trace, or move waveform location.
6. Drag to copy measurement parameters to streamline setup process.
7. Drag to quickly position cursors on a trace.

Powerful, Deep Toolbox

Our Heritage

Teledyne LeCroy’s 50+ year heritage has its origins in the high-speed collection of data in the field of high energy physics, and the processing of long records to extract meaningful insight. We didn’t invent the oscilloscope, but we did invent the digital oscilloscope, which can take full advantage of advanced digital signal processing and wave shape analysis tools to provide unparalleled insight.

Our Obsession

Our developers are true to our heritage – they are more obsessed with making better and smarter tools than anybody else. Our tools and operating philosophy are standardized across much of our product line for a consistent user experience. Our mission is to help you use these tools to understand problems, including the ones you don’t even know you have. Our deep toolbox inspires insight; and your moment of insight is our reward.

HD4096 Technology – 16X Closer to Perfect

Teledyne LeCroy HDO high definition oscilloscopes use unique HD4096 technology to provide superior and uncompromised measurement performance:

• 12-bit ADCs with high sample rates
• High signal-to-noise amplifiers (55 dB)
• Low noise system architecture (to 1 GHz)

Oscilloscopes with HD4096 technology have higher resolution than conventional 8-bit oscilloscopes (4096 vs. 256 vertical levels) and low noise for uncompromised measurement performance. The 12-bit ADCs support capture of fast signals and oscilloscope bandwidth ratings up to 1 GHz, and Enhanced Sample Rate to 10 GS/s ensures the highest measurement accuracy and precision. The high performance input amplifiers deliver pristine signal fidelity with a 55 dB signal-to-noise ratio. The low-noise system architecture provides an ideal signal path to ensure that signal details are delivered accurately to the oscilloscope display – 16x closer to perfect.

16x More Resolution

HD4096 technology provides 12-bits of vertical resolution with 16x more resolution compared to conventional 8-bit oscilloscopes. The 4096 discrete vertical levels reduce the quantization error compared to 256 vertical levels. This improves the accuracy and precision of the signal capture and increases measurement confidence.

Experience the Difference

Experience HD4096 accuracy, detail, and precision and never use an 8-bit oscilloscope again. Whether the application is general-purpose design and debug, high-precision analog, power electronics, automotive electronics, mechatronics, or other specialized applications, the HD4096 technology provides unsurpassed confidence and measurement capabilities.

Clean, Crisp Waveforms

When compared to waveforms acquired and displayed using conventional 8-bit oscilloscopes, waveforms captured with HD4096 12-bit technology are dramatically crisper and cleaner, and are displayed more accurately. Once you see a waveform acquired with HD4096 technology, you will not want to go back to using a conventional 8-bit oscilloscope.

More Signal Details

16x more resolution provides more signal detail. This is especially helpful for wide dynamic range signals in which a full scale signal must be acquired while at the same time very small amplitude signal details must be analyzed. 12-bit acquisitions combined with the oscilloscope’s vertical and horizontal zoom can be used to obtain unparalleled insight to system behaviors and problems.

Unmatched Measurement Precision

HD4096 technology delivers measurement precision several times better than conventional 8-bit oscilloscopes. Higher oscilloscope measurement precision provides better ability to assess corner cases and design margins, perform root cause analysis, and create the best possible solution for any discovered design issue.

1. Clean, Crisp Waveforms | Thin traces show the actual waveform with minimal noise interference
2. More Signal Details | Waveform details lost on an 8-bit oscilloscope can now be clearly seen
3. Unmatched Measurement Precision | Measurements are more precise and not affected by quantization noise

Exceptional Serial Data Tools

Trigger

Powerful, flexible triggers designed by people who know the standards, with the unique capabilities you want to isolate unusual events. Conditional data triggering permits maximum flexibility and highly adaptable error frame triggering is available to isolate error conditions. Efficiently acquire bursted data using Sequence Mode to maximize the oscilloscope’s memory usage. Sequence Mode enables the oscilloscope to ignore idle time and acquire only data of interest.

Decode

Decoded protocol information is color coded to specific portions of the serial data waveform and transparently overlaid for an intuitive, easy-to understand visual record. All decoded protocols are displayed in a single time-interleaved table. Touch a row in the interactive table to quickly zoom to a packet of interest and select a column header to create filter criteria, as is commonly done in spreadsheets. Easily search through long records for specific protocol events using the builtin search feature.

Documentation and Sequence Mode

LabNotebook Documentation Tool

LabNotebook is a standard feature of HDO4000A and is the ideal documentation tool. LabNotebook automatically saves all displayed waveforms, oscilloscope setup file, and a screen image with a single button press, eliminating the need to navigate multiple menus to save all these files independently. Report files can be annotated and shared with colleagues to fully document all results. Easily recreate experiments and compare tests results amongst colleagues across the world by recalling LabNotebook files back onto the oscilloscope or view on a PC using WaveStudio.

Advanced Waveform Capture with Sequence Mode

Use Sequence mode to store up to 10,000 triggered events as segments. This is ideal when capturing fast pulses in quick succession or when capturing events separated by long time periods. Each segment has a timestamp and dead-time between triggers is less than 1 μs. Isolate rate events over time by combining with advanced triggers.
