LeCroy 232 WaveAce Digital Oscilloscope 300 MHz, 2 Channel

The LeCroy 232 WaveAce is a 300 MHz, 2-channel digital oscilloscope engineered for signal measurement, waveform analysis, and circuit debugging across design and manufacturing environments. This compact instrument delivers 1.2 ns rise time with single-shot sampling to 2 GS/s (interleaved) or 1 GS/s across all channels, plus 50 GS/s RIS capability for bandwidth-intensive measurements. The 5.7-inch color display (320 × 240 pixels) provides real-time waveform visualization with 8-bit vertical resolution spanning 2 mV/div to 5 V/div.

Memory capacity reaches 9 kpts per channel (18 kpts interleaved), with extended storage up to 10 kpts per channel. A 20 MHz bandwidth limiting filter reduces noise in low-frequency applications.
