The best trigger won't find all unusual events-a more powerful capability is sometimes needed. WaveScan provides the ability to locate unusual events in a single capture (i.e., capture and search), or "scan" for an event in many acquisitions over a long period of time. Select from more than 20 search modes (frequency, rise time, runt, duty cycle, etc.), apply a search condition and begin scanning. Since the scanning "modes" are not simply copies of the hardware triggers, the utility and capability is much higher. For instance, there is no "frequency" trigger in any oscilloscope, yet WaveScan allows "frequency" to be quickly "scanned" for. This allows the user to accumulate a data set of unusual events that are separated by hours or days, enabling faster debugging.

When used in multiple acquisitions, WaveScan builds on the traditional LeCroy strength of fast processing of data. A LeCroy X-Stream oscilloscope will quickly "scan" millions of events, looking for unusual occurrences, and do it much faster and more efficiently than other oscilloscopes can. WaveScan in WaveRunner Xi also contains ScanHisto and ScanOverlay capability. Found events can be overlaid in a ScanOverlay view to provide a quick and simple comparison of events. In addition, measurement-based scanning modes (like the frequency example given above), permit ScanHistograms to show the statistical distribution of the found events. These analysis tools simplify understanding and enable faster debug.
