ArbStudio Arbitrary Waveform Generators

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 Configurations  ArbStudio is available in 4 models with both 2 and 4 channel configurations  ArbStudio 1104 is the best value providing 4 analog chanels at just 850 € per channel  ArbStudio 1000D models provide digital pattern generator of 18 of 36 chanels ArbStudio 1102 ArbStudio 1102D ArbStudio 1104 ArbStudio 1104D Channels 24 Max Sample Rate 1 GS/s Analog Bandwidth 125 MHz Resolution 16 bits Memory 2 Mpts Arbitrary Waveform System True Arbitrary and DDS 20 MHz -48 dBc Digital Pattern Generator na18 chna36 ch Euro List Price 2,4253,400 4,860 Euro Price per Channel 1,2131, ,215

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  ArbStudio 1102 and 1104 include:  ArbStudio Hardware – 2 or 4 channel AWG  CD – Application Software and Operator’s Manual  USB Cable  Power Supply and Power Cord  Certifications and Performance Verification  ArbStudio 1102D and 1104D include:  ArbStudio Hardware – 2 or 4 channel AWG  Digital pattern cable, logic pod and leadset  CD – Application Software and Operator’s Manual  USB Cable  Power Supply and Power Cord  Certifications and Performance Verification
