"LeCroy's first WaveRunner oscilloscopes originated more than a decade ago and represent the most important business contributor in our product portfolio," said President and Chief Executive Officer Tom Reslewic.  "WaveRunners are designed to deliver exceptional value to our mid-range customers and, as a result, make up the largest single component of our oscilloscope sales.  Each new WaveRunner 6 Zi promises unexpectedly high performance at a reasonable price."

The new flagship WaveRunner features 4 GHz bandwidth and 40GS/s per channel sample rates with an innovative new industrial design, comprehensive serial-data and probing solutions for less than $30,000 USD.  Prior to this introduction, these capabilities could only be found at significantly higher prices.  LeCroy is able to achieve this breakthrough performance and pricing by leveraging the advanced silicon-based technologies deployed in our industry leading high-end WaveMaster oscilloscopes.  

"We are also announcing today, two new WaveRunner HRO (High-Resolution-Oscilloscope) models at 400 MHz and 600 MHz bandwidths with an unprecedented resolution of 12 bits of vertical resolution," said Reslewic.  "These WaveRunner HROs provide industry-first high-resolution tools for customers requiring high dynamic range and precision measurements and will be available for demonstration and customer shipment in May 2011."

"We have assembled our world-wide sales force in Silicon Valley for the launch and training on the new products," said Reslewic.  "We are ready to begin customer shipments in volume within the next couple of weeks.  We will feature the WaveRunner 6 Zi at DesignCon 2011 held this week in Santa Clara, California."

The WaveRunner 6 Zi oscilloscopes feature a pristine signal path that offers unmatched signal fidelity with low electronic noise. In addition, LeCroy has designed the WaveRunner 6 Zi with an industry-first pivoting display that permits viewing signals vertically as well as horizontally to obtain more detail for optimum analysis. The comprehensive toolset includes everything engineers need to productively validate and thoroughly debug their designs.
