Teledyne LeCroy has introduced a touch screen as well as powerful debug tools and advanced triggering with the WaveJet Touch oscilloscope, claiming an unprecedented combination of performance and price.Built on the WaveJet 300 oscilloscope platform, the WaveJet Touch is available in two models with 350 MHz or 500 MHz bandwidth, four channels, up to 5 Mpts of memory at 2 GS/s, and a 7.5in touch screen display.

The WaveJet Touch offers the same debug tools, connectivity, portability, and ease of use as its predecessor, the WaveJet 300A while adding a wide variety of new features and toolset enhancements to shorten debug time.

Intricate signals can be acquired with ease by combining a long capture time with a variety of complex triggers, including triggers for I²C, SPI, and UART. Digital low-pass, high-pass, and simple moving average filtering permit easy isolation of signals of interest.

A choice of normal, peak detect, average, and high resolution acquisition modes provides flexibility when acquiring waveforms. Pass/fail mask and measurement testing enables deeper analysis and performs characterisation and validation testing. Users can scroll back in time to view previous waveforms and isolate anomalies using replay mode.

Standard GPIB, LAN, and USB device ports provide flexibility for remote control. All of this comes in a small form factor and lightweight design, making it easy to carry and use anywhere. The 500MHz version is priced at €4,990 / £4,315.
