June 18, 2014 ----- Teledyne LeCroy (Country Manager Woon-Jae Lee http://teledynelecroy.co.kr) announced today the new HDO8000 oscilloscope, which combines eight analog channels with 12-bit vertical resolution technology based on HD4096. The HDO8000 oscilloscope features more channels (8 channels), resolution (12-bit) enabling precise measurements, and high speed with a 1 GHz bandwidth. In addition, it offers mixed-signal measurement, extensive serial data analysis, long memory, and a variety of probe options and accessories.

The HDO8000 is particularly ideal for the analysis of three-phase power electronics systems. The power electronics market is growing rapidly, especially in specialized high-power three-phase energy conversion applications such as distributed power generation systems (solar PV, wind power, etc.) and hybrid electronics and electric vehicle systems. The demand to increase the efficiency of electric motors and various frequency (motor) drives is also a major factor driving demand in the three-phase power electronics market.

An 8-channel high-resolution oscilloscope is very useful for debugging embedded systems in applications involving complex power electronic signals, such as power, clock, digital logic, serial data, and analog sensor signals, in automotive electronic control units (ECUs), consumer electronics (e.g., washing machines, refrigerators, etc.), and industrial systems (robotics, etc.). More channels and higher resolution enable faster verification of embedded systems.
HD4096 High Resolution Technology
HD4096 high-resolution technology combines a 12-bit ADC with a fast sample rate, an amplifier providing a high signal-to-noise ratio, and a low-noise system architecture. Through this technology, high-resolution oscilloscopes can capture and display signals at bandwidths up to 1 GHz with 16 times higher resolution than conventional oscilloscopes. The HDO8000, equipped with HD4096 technology, can also utilize vertical axis resolution further extended up to 15 bits through Teledyne LeCroy's ERES (Enhanced Resolution) filtering.

Q-Scape™ Multi-tap Display
Teledyne LeCroy's new Q-Scape multi-tap display expands the display area fourfold, offering the advantage of observing a larger number of channels, along with magnified and computed waveforms (up to 40 provided), on a 12.1-inch WXGA high-resolution display. It features four “tap” displays, allowing waveforms to be moved to desired positions via simple drag-and-drop, making collected waveforms and calculated results more intuitive to analyze. Q-Scape is particularly useful for three-phase system analysis, allowing each phase to be displayed on a dedicated tap.

Equipped with an expanded display area and high resolution, the HDO8000 features WQXGA (3840x2160 pixels) DisplayPort 1.2 video output. While additional applications such as MATLAB are usually provided on a small screen, they can be viewed on a large screen with the HDO8000's Q-Scape tab display method.

Ideal solution for power analysis
The HDO8000 provides 100 Mpts or 250 Mpts of optional memory in addition to 50 Mpts of capture memory per channel. Long capture memory is ideal for power electronics and embedded/mechatronics systems where serial data with low-speed PWM (pulse-width modulated) or analog sensor signals are simultaneously captured alongside high-speed microprocessor signals. Teledyne LeCroy also provides a wealth of tools for a wide range of computations and measurements, including Track, Trend, and Histogram for frequency and time domain analysis. Track is particularly useful for PWM analysis. Various other application-based software options are available.

Equipped with an Intel Core i5-4670s quad (core) motherboard featuring 8GB of RAM, it handles channel acquisition, waveform calculation, and application tasks quickly and efficiently. Adding 100 Mpts and 250 Mpts oscilloscope memory options allows for an upgrade of the motherboard's memory to 32GB of RAM.
