LeCroy Ships New High Resolution Oscilloscopes

Designed for the medical, automotive, power, and electromechanical markets, the WaveRunner HRO has higher resolution and measurement precision than 8-bit alternatives. Traditional oscilloscopes use 8-bit ADCs to digitize the data, which is not enough for many applications that require viewing signals with both a large and small voltage components. The reduced noise and improved resolution of the 12-bit ADC architecture provides finer measurement accuracy and better waveform clarity. This can be seen with the superb 55 dB signal to noise ratio (SNR) and ±0.5% DC vertical gain accuracy, which is up to four times better than typical 8-bit oscilloscopes.
