LeCroy LogicStudio 16 logic analyser

LeCroy has announced the LogicStudio 16, a logic analyser with hardware that provides 16 channels with a sample rate of 1 GSps and maximum input of up to 100 MHz.

The software provides a dynamic waveform display with an intuitive user interface that is navigated by a few basic mouse clicks.

The instrument provides many tools for digital debug, including timing cursors, zooming and panning of waveforms, a persistence display and a history mode which can replay old data captures.

Additionally, protocol analysis for I2C, SPI and UART is included to decode waveforms as they are captured and provide the ability to trigger on specific address or data packets on the bus. It also provides a debug toolset.

For technicians who use a WaveJet oscilloscope, the software interfaces with the import analog waveforms from the oscilloscope on the fly and turns the PC into a mixed-signal oscilloscope, providing a view of up to four analog and 16 digital channels simultaneously.

The trigger can be operated in auto, normal or single modes and provides free running acquisitions with no delays due to data being transferred to the PC. There are simple edge or logic state triggers but the advanced triggering provides an open environment to build elaborate trigger conditions, logic combinations and qualifiers to capture a wide range of events.

The analyser provides a communication link to the WaveJet oscilloscope turning the PC in to a true mixed signal debug device.
