(LeCroy: Chestnut Ridge, NY) -- LeCroy Corp. introduces a new line of 12-bit resolution WaveRunner oscilloscopes, the WaveRunner HRO 6 Zi. The WaveRunner HRO, a high-resolution oscilloscope, features an industry-leading, 12-bit analog-to-digital convertor (ADC), deep memory of 256 Mpts/ch, and superior DC accuracy specifications. These features are in addition to the extensive analysis capabilities of the WaveRunner 6 Zi. Engineers no longer have to compromise the analysis functions of an oscilloscope to get the high resolution they need.

Designed for the medical, automotive, power, and electromechanical markets, the WaveRunner HRO has higher resolution and greater measurement precision than eight-bit alternatives. Traditional oscilloscopes use eight-bit ADCs to digitize the data, which is not precise enough for applications that require viewing signals with both a large and small voltage component. The reduced noise and improved resolution of the 12-bit ADC architecture provides finer measurement accuracy and better waveform clarity. This can be seen with the superb 55 dB signal-to-noise ratio and ±0.5-percent DC vertical gain accuracy; four times more precise than eight-bit oscilloscopes.
