Lecroy Wavemaster 8300A Digital Oscilloscope

The LeCroy Wavemaster 8300A is a 3 GHz, 4-channel digital oscilloscope engineered for high-speed digital and communications system characterization, as well as research and development environments. It delivers 20 GS/s sampling on dual channels and 10 GS/s on quad channels, with standard 1 Mpts/channel memory expandable to 100 Mpts/channel in XXL configurations. Teledyne LeCroy's patented X-Stream technology accelerates data transfer and processing by 10–100× versus conventional instruments, enabling rapid WaveShape Analysis and measurement workflows.
