With multi-instrument capabilities, WaveSurfer 3000 series oscilloscopes claim to offer the deepest measurement toolset yet seen, and do so at prices ranging from $3,200 to $6,950. Beyond traditional oscilloscope functionality, the WaveSurfer 3000 provides waveform generation with a built-in function generator, protocol analysis with serial data trigger and decode, and logic analysis with a 16-channel mixed-signal option. Further, the scopes provide an advanced user interface dubbed MAUI and a 10.1-in. touchscreen — the largest display and only touchscreen in this class of oscilloscopes — to let users make full use of the tools.
The scopes are available in 4-channel models whose bandwidths range from 200 to 500 MHz, with 10-Mpoints/channel memory and up to 4-Gsample/s sampling rate; a 2-channel, 200 MHz model is also offered. Combining a fast waveform-update rate of 130,000 waveforms/s with History-mode waveform playback and WaveScan Search-and-Find makes waveform anomaly detection a snap. An advanced active probe interface provides for rapid measurement.
The MAUI user interface puts all the scope’s capabilities literally at the user’s fingertips: It was designed for touch, so all important oscilloscope controls, as well as positioning /zooming waveforms, moving cursors, configuring measurements, and interacting with results, are done with touchscreen controls. Basic features and advanced tools are integrated to simplify operation, time-saving shortcuts and intuitive dialogs simplify setup, and the intelligent display resizes waveforms and measurements.
