ArbStudio Highlights

ArbStudio allows LeCroy to enter the signal generator market at the sub 5,000 € price point AWG market has grown steadily since 2002 and is expected to grow

moving forward Introducing an AWG lets LeCroy reach new customers who have needs

for more than just oscilloscopes ArbStudio has 4 models, both 2 and 4 channels ranging from

2,425 € to 4,680 € Key Features

125 MHz Bandwidth 1 GS/s Sample Rate 2 Mpts/ch Memory 16 bit Resolution 18 and 36 channel Digital Pattern Generator Mode True Arbitrary and Direct Digital Synthesis (DDS) Technology Variety of Modulation Schemes – AM, FM, PM, ASK, FSK, PSK, PWM

AWG Market Analysis

Signal Sources growing since 2002, was $871M in 2007 Function generators remain flat in the $23M - $26M range but

AWG market is growing AWG market was $54M in 2002 with steady growth to $103M in

2007 AWG market projections show it increasing to $122M in 2011 2007 FG/AWG revenue by company

Tek - $41M (33%) Agilent - $33M (26%) Tabor - $6M (5%) TTi - $2.8M (2%)

Revenues Evenly split 30/30/30 in US/Europe/Asia 10% of revenue comes from “Other”

Using ArbStudio

Using a PC for the display and control provides several benefits Higher performance hardware

for a lower price Large PC display makes it

easier to view, create and edit waveforms

Simple mouse-driven user interface

More channels per unit, lower price per channel

ArbStudio Performance

Banner specs show that ArbStudio is the highest performing AWG in this market segment

High Sample and High Resolution 1 GS/s and 16 bit DAC mean waveforms created on screen are

created with excellent precision

Long Memory 2 Mpts/ch memory enables creation of large waveforms and long

waveform sequences

High Bandwidth Create waveforms with up to 125 MHz bandwidth to cover a

broader range of needs and applications

Dedicated Function Generator and PWM Controls

Create basic waveforms using function generator mode Create simple functions on any

channel Controls for waveform type,

amplitude, offset, phase and duty cycle

Create PWM signals with unique modulation controls Vary all aspects of the PWM

with simple control panel Ideal for motor or fan control

True Arbitrary and DDS Modes

Most generators use either True Arbitrary or DDS technology Advantages and disadvantages

associated with each Users forced to make a choice

ArbStudio provides both modes of operation

Modes are selectable by channel Single workspace can have True

Arbitrary and DDS waveforms simultaneously

Digital Pattern Generator

ArbStudio 1102D and 1104D provide digital pattern generation 18 or 36 channel patterns

with waveform sequencer Up to 250 MHz clock speed Full 2 Mpts of memory

Unique capability in this market

Retrofittable after initial purcase

ArbStudio Standard Configuration
