WaveStation 3082 - Teledyne LeCroy

High Performance and

Signal Fidelity

High performance hardware enables

WaveStation to create accurate stable

waveforms. High sample rate and

resolution combined with low jitter

and harmonic distortion means

waveforms seen on the display are

accurately created and outputted by

the hardware.

Extensive Waveform Library

Easily create basic sine, square,

ramp, pulse, and noise waveforms.

In addition, access over 40 advanced

arbitrary waveforms preloaded on

WaveStation. Edit waveforms using

the WaveStation PC software with

point-by-point manual waveform

design or waveform drawing tools.

Use digital ﬁltering tools for advanced

waveform creation.

Connectivity and

Communication

With standard USB and GPIB

connectivity it is easy to control

WaveStation remotely or integrate it

in to a test system. All necessary

I/O for synchronization can be

accessed on the rear panel. A front

panel USB port provides an easy way

to save waveforms.

Simple, Fast

Waveform Creation

The intuitive front panel provides easy

access to waveforms, modulation and

operating modes. The large display

shows all relevant waveform parame-

ters and waveform shape. Included PC

software provides a graphical interface

for quickly modifying waveforms with

point-by-point editing, digital ﬁltering

and waveform drawing tools.

tion schemes, intuitive waveform editing software and remote control

capabilities, enable versatile waveform generation of waveforms up to

160 MHz. The large color display and simple user interface make it easy

to generate a wide range of waveforms.

POWERFUL COMBINATION OF PERFORMANCE AND FLEXIBILITY

Variety of Modulation Schemes

Built-in modulation capabilities include AM, PM, FM,

ASK, PSK and FSK. View the modulated waveform on

the display and see how it changes when varying out-

put frequency, carrier waveform or modulation type.

additional waveform ﬂexibility and

ability to create differential

waveforms.

2. Color Display

Large display provides a single view

to see waveform preview, parameters

and menus with a single glance.

3. Waveform Preview

Helpful display provides preview of

the waveform to be generated.

4. USB Connectivity

Front panel USB port to quickly save

and transfer waveforms.

5. Display Menu

Quick access to various parameters

with one touch to soft button on the

front panel. 5

POWERFUL COMBINATION OF PERFORMANCE AND FLEXIBILITY

Graphical Waveform Creation

Easily create and edit waveforms on the PC with

mathematical operations, ﬁlters, and point-by-point editing

or draw a waveform with a mouse. Transfer waveforms to

WaveStation over USB and view it on the large display.

Additionally, connecting a WaveAce oscilloscope to the

same PC enables seamless transfer of real world signals

from oscilloscope to the WaveStation.

6. On-Screen Parameter

Readout

View all relevant parameters at the

same time on a single screen.

7. Quick Waveform Access

Dedicated, backlit buttons for quick

access to the most common

waveforms.

8. Easy to Use Front Panel

Intuitive front panel allows for quick

waveform parameter entry and

editing.
