Who invented the Digital Oscilloscope?

The first Digital Storage Oscilloscopes (DSO) was invented by Walter LeCroy (who founded the LeCroy Corporation, based in New York, USA) after producing high-speed digitizers for the research center CERN in Switzerland. LeCroy remains one of the three largest manufacturers of oscilloscopes in the world.

Starting in the 1980s, digital oscilloscopes became prevalent. Digital storage oscilloscopes use a fast analog-to-digital converter and memory chips to record and show a digital representation of a waveform, yielding much more flexibility for triggering, analysis, and display than is possible with a classic analog oscilloscope. Unlike its analog predecessor, the digital storage oscilloscope can show pre-trigger events, opening another dimension to the recording of rare or intermittent events and troubleshooting of electronic glitches. As of 2006 most new oscilloscopes (aside from education and a few niche markets) are digital.

Digital scopes rely on effective use of the installed memory and trigger functions: not enough memory and the user will miss the events they want to examine; if the scope has a large memory but does not trigger as desired, the user will have difficulty finding the event.

About LeCroy

LeCroy was founded in 1964 and is now one of the top three oscilloscope manufacturers in the world.

Fastest Oscilloscope, Highest Bandwidth Oscilloscope

As of January 2009, LeCroy claims the highest bandwidth in a real time oscilloscope, 80 GS/s on 2 channels, and the fastest real time sample rate at 30GHz utilizing Digital Bandwidth Interleaving (DBI) to interleave bandwidth, sample rate, and memory at 2 input channels. This was made possible by advances in their 8 Zi product line. 512 Mpts of analysis, and greater than 15 GHz edge triggering are also made possible.

The digital technology includes proprietary X-Stream II fast processing architecture augmented with an InteCore Quad processor, high-speed serial data buses, a 64-bit OS and up to 8 GB of processor RAM. This architecture uses variable waveform segment lengths to improve CPU cache memory efficiency.

LeCroy Digital Oscilloscopes

LeCroy digital oscilloscopes are more advanced than the competition. The WavePro 7 Zi series is a testament to large investment LeCroy puts into their research and development activities.

Many LeCroy scopes are much faster than the competition without sacraficing accuracy. This means less frustration and more results in less time.
