From its large 10.4" LCD touch screen to its space-saving small footprint, the WaveSurfer oscilloscope is a radical rethinking of the basic bench scope. It breaks the rules of conventional scope design to deliver dramatically improved signal viewing, 100x the capture time, and up-to-the-minute connectivity capabilities. But more importantly, it's designed for the way you like to work- big, sharp images of your signal, a simple, easy-to-use interface and a strong tool set for testing and debugging. Bottom line? It's not only a great fit for your bench, it's a perfect match for your budget.

The WaveSurfer 400 Series' 10.4" display is 2-1/2 times the size of the 6.4" screens found on competitive oscilloscopes. And its 6" deep footprint eliminates the space penalty that comes with conventional oscilloscopes. Just looking at the screen you can see the improvement - the 800 x 600 SVGA display boasts exceptional brightness and a wide viewing angle. Signal details are clearer than ever. And you know that when you can see the signal, you can come up with the solution. That's what the WaveSurfer 400 Series oscilloscope is all about.

Long capture time

Large screens show the detail - if you can capture it. The WaveSurfer oscilloscope provides all the detail you need by delivering more than 100x the capture time at full sample rate compared to other oscilloscopes in its class. It effectively eliminates the trade-off between high sample rate and long capture time. This high sample rate is especially important when capturing a mix of signals that are spaced widely apart in time, or when you require a long pre-trigger time. This means that the WaveSurfer 400 Series oscilloscope beats short-memory scopes when it comes to the debugging of common circuit problems like clock/data issues and timing errors.

Communicate all the ways you want

Your list of connectivity options is extensive - from the front mounted USB port for your memory stick to the standard 10/100Base-T Ethernet port. You can document your work and communicate effectively with your group. Whether you want to save data to the oscilloscope's hard drive or a network drive, email other engineers, or send images to the printer, the WaveSurfer 400 Series oscilloscope gives you the flexibility to manage your communications easily and effectively.
