1mV/div to 10 V/div
The SAM40 provides up to 24 input channels for low frequency (sensor
signal) acquisition and analysis. It connects to a 4 or 8 channel Teledyne
LeCroy 12-bit resolution high definition oscilloscope (HD4096 HDOs
and MDAs) to provide Analog+Digital+Sensor (up to 8+16+24 channel)
acquisitions. This capability is ideal for system debug and analysis of
deeply embedded, electromechanical, and mechatronic designs in the
medical, mil/aero, motors and drives, power, appliance, Internet of Things
(IoT), vehicle/automotive and other applications.
24-bit Precision
All channels have 24-bit resolution
(stored in 32-bit floating point format)
with ~0.05% total accuracy. Built-in
filters with settings as low as 100 Hz
further reduce noise. Adjustable gain
ranges (1 mV to 10 V/div) accurately
acquire a wide range of signal levels.
Unit Conversion and Rescaling
More than 65 different SI and English
system physical units are supported
for length, mass, temperature, angle,
velocity, acceleration, volume, force/
weight, pressure, electrical, magnetic,
energy and rotating machine quantities.
Math and measurements applied to
rescaled waveforms correctly read and
convert to new units as required.
Plug-and-play
The SAM40 simply connects to
the supported Teledyne LeCroy
oscilloscope with a USB2.0 cable
for data transfer and control/trigger
commands, and BNC cables for
clock/timebase synchronization. No
programming or complex setups are
required.
Deep Toolbox
The oscilloscope math, measure,
analysis, pass/fail and option packages
utilize the sensor inputs the same as
any other channel. Teledyne LeCroy's
deep toolbox just got even more
powerful.
SENSOR SIGNAL AND HIGH BANDWIDTH ACQUISITIONS
The SAM40 sensor acquisition module simply and quickly interfaces to a supported Teledyne LeCroy 12-bit high
definition oscilloscope (HDO). The SAM40 acquires very low speed (40 kHz bandwidth) sensor and other signals and
the HDO acquires higher speed analog, digital and serial data signals. The HDO cross-triggers the SAM40, and the
SAM40 sends acquisition data to the HDO for time-synchronized display with the high bandwidth HDO analog and
digital channels.
More Than 65 Different Supported
Unit Conversions
Leverage your SAM40 24-bit acquisition
system with the unit conversion and rescaling
capability. Teledyne LeCroy's unit conversion
package provides the most intuitive display of
sensor, mechatronic and electromechanical
data. Each sensor channel input has a unique
rescaling setup directly in the setup dialog
with y=mx+b rescaling capability and selection
of physical units. All unit conversions carry
through logically when unitized sensor inputs
are used in math or measurements.

UP TO 8 ANALOG + 16 DIGITAL + 24 SENSOR CHANNELS
Engineers commonly use multiple instruments to debug and validate complex deeply embedded control systems,
mechatronics, and electro-mechanical systems. Multiple instruments report different information on different displays
and in different formats. An HDO with a sensor acquisition module cost-effectively replaces multiple instruments
with one consolidated view of system performance. Leverage the Teledyne LeCroy deep toolbox to perform math,
measurements, pass/fail and other analysis on all acquired data, or apply an application package to gain even faster
time to insight.
4 analog channel + 16 digital channel, 1 GHz, 12 bit resolution
HDO6104A-MS high definition oscilloscope with SAM40-8 provides
4+16+8 channel acquisition capability.
8 analog channel + 16 digital channel, 1 GHz, 12 bit resolution
HDO8108 high definition oscilloscope with SAM40-24 provides
8+16+24 channel acquisition capability.
4 + 16 (Analog + Digital) Channel Oscilloscope with
SAM40-8 Sensor Acquisition Module
The most basic system available combines a 350 MHz,
500 MHz, or 1 GHz 12-bit resolution, 4 channel oscilloscope
(HDO4000A or HDO6000A Series) with a SAM40-8 eight
channel acquisition module. This triples the number of
available inputs for a very modest price, and preserves high
bandwidth oscilloscope inputs for the most important uses,
or provides capability to view more high bandwidth signals
than would have previously been possible without the
SAM40. 16 and 24 channel acquisition modules may also be
used. MSO oscilloscope models further add 16 digital logic
input channels.
8 + 16 (Analog + Digital) Channel Oscilloscope or
Motor Drive Analyzer with a SAM40-24 Sensor
Acquisition Module
Pair the SAM40-24 with the world's only 8 channel, 1 GHz,
12-bit resolution oscilloscope and obtain an unbelievable
8+16+24 analog+digital+sensor inputs. Make fast debug
work of deeply embedded systems that combine power
electronics, motors, and sensors into one complex, dynamic
system. Utilize the SAM40 for analog speed or torque
sensor signals, vibration sensors or accelerometers, and
other mechatronic signals. For the ultimate in motor drive
analysis, pair the SAM40 with the MDA800A and gain the
deepest static and dynamic understanding of three-phase
power system and mechanical motor behaviors.
