We've had a remarkable reception in the market," said Dave Graef, Chief Technology Officer of Teledyne LeCroy. "We are pleased this award recognizes this significant milestone for test and measurement technology." Available in two series, the HDO4000 and HDO6000 acquire waveforms with high resolution, high sample rate and low noise. Waveform displays are cleaner and crisper with 16 times more vertical resolution than traditional 8-bit instruments. Waveform details which were previously difficult to see can now be easily distinguished and measured. Nine models are available in bandwidths from 200 MHz to 1 GHz and feature a sample rate of up to 2.5 GS/s with up to 250 Mpts/channel of memory. HD4096 High Definition Technology HD4096 High Definition Technology is rooted in high-sample-rate 12-bit ADCs; amplifiers with high signal-to-noise ratios; and a low-noise system architecture. This technology enables high definition oscilloscopes to capture and display signals of up to 1 GHz with high sample rate and 16 times more resolution than other oscilloscopes. Precise measurements are critical for effective debug and analysis and HD4096 technology enables oscilloscopes to deliver unmatched measurement precision to improve testing capabilities and provide better results. In addition to HD4096 technology, the HDO features Teledyne LeCroy's ERES (Enhanced Resolution) filtering, which enables users to gain up to three additional bits of resolution for 15-bit vertical resolution.
