LeCroy HDO6104 High Definition Oscilloscope, 1GHz, 2.5GS/s, 4 Channel

The LeCroy HDO6104 is a 1 GHz, 4-channel oscilloscope designed for high-fidelity signal capture and complex waveform analysis. Built on Teledyne LeCroy's HD4096 technology, it delivers 12-bit ADC resolution - expandable to 15 bits with enhanced resolution - providing 16 times more vertical resolution than conventional 8-bit instruments. This eliminates quantization error and ensures precise signal representation across demanding measurement tasks.

With a 2.5 GS/s sampling rate across all four channels and a 12.1-inch WXGA multi-touch display, the HDO6104 captures high-speed transients with exceptional detail and presents complex data intuitively. The real-time timebase spans 20 ps/div to 10,000 s/div, while Random Interleaved Sampling (RIS) mode extends effective sampling to 125 GS/s for repetitive signals.
