RS Components has announced the expansion of its test and measurement portfolio with the introduction of products from LeCroy, an innovative manufacturer of oscilloscopes and serial data test solutions. LeCroy’s oscilloscopes provide large colour screens with many integrated simple-to-use tools to meet design and development engineers analysis requirements.

Included in the RS range is the low cost, feature rich, WaveAce series of six dual-channel, colour screen oscilloscopes, providing bandwidths from 60MHz to 300MHz, sample rates up to 2GS/s and waveform memory up to 9kpts/Ch (18kpts interleaved). The WaveJet 300A series 2 and 4 channel products with 100, 200, 350 and 500MHz bandwidth models enable users to simplify how they work and shorten debug time. With a bright 7.5 display, long 500kpts/Ch memory and up to 2GS/s engineers can easily capture and see every detail in test, while USB ports provide a quick way to save and store waveform data via PC connection. A replay mode allows users to review the history of what has been captured.

Higher specification WaveSurfer Xs-A and MXs-A provide 200MHz, 400MHz, 600MHz and 1GHz bandwidths with 2.5GS/s sample rates per channel and up to 5GS/s with WS 104Xs-A. The large touch-screen interface is the ultimate in ease-of use. With features like WaveStream fast viewing mode and WaveScan search and find, users can be confident that every problem can quickly be detected and analysed. The WaveSurfer also offers a wide range of serial data trigger and decode tools for SPI, I2C UART, RS-232, LIN, or CAN as well as industry leading mixed signal (MSO) capabilities to quickly troubleshoot embedded system designs.

Commenting on the launch, Paul Webster, Head of Electronics Product Management for RS Components said: “We are delighted to be commencing a new partnership with LeCroy. Electronics customers want a reliable single source for their oscilloscope products that offer outstanding reliability at a competitive price and LeCroy working with RS perfectly fits these criteria.”

Roberto Petrillo, Vice President, Sales – Americas, Europe, Middle East & Africa for LeCroy added: “We’re excited to be working with RS Components. LeCroy has a newly launched and extremely competitive product line-up. RS Components, a leading distributor of electronic goods, will ensure that LeCroy oscilloscopes reach the most customers in the mid- and low-range bandwidth market segments.”
