LeCroy Introduces AudioBus Trigger, Decode and Graph Test Solutions for I2S,
LJ, RJ, and TDM Audio Bus Standards
The Only Trigger Decode and Graph Solution for Serial Audio to Display
Converted Digital Audio Channel Data as an Analog Wave Form

CHESTNUT RIDGE, N.Y., July 10 /PRNewswire/ -- LeCroy Corporation's new serial
AudioBus Trigger, Decode, and Graph packages provide all the tools needed to
precisely analyze and debug the Inter-IC-Sound bus (I2S), a serial interface
developed for digital audio. Immediately available for use with the powerful
WaveRunner Xi and WaveSurfer Xs oscilloscope platforms, LeCroy's AudioBus
decode enables the unique View Audio feature that converts the digitally
encoded serial data audio signal to an analog waveform display. This provides
the engineer with an intuitive way to understand circuit problems that cause
clipping, glitches, and other anomalies in the audio circuit, as well as to
see the effects of the audio signal before Digital Signal Processing (DSP).
View Audio can be performed for up to four audio channels for conventional
Left/Right audio, or home cinema applications (enabled by time division
multiplexed audio buses.)

AudioBus uses color-coded overlays on various sections of the protocol decode
for a visual display that is easy to understand. This feature, exclusive to
LeCroy, is intuitive for experienced audio engineers; and especially useful
for users new to the I2S, LJ, RJ, or TDM Audio Bus standards. In addition,
decode information condenses or expands depending on the timebase/zoom ratio
setting, simplifying both routine verification and complex troubleshooting.
Engineers can choose to decode into Hex, Binary, Decimal, or dB formats.

The AudioBus trigger can be configured for I2S, LJ, or RJ variants. Powerful
conditional triggering can be applied to either left or right channel data,
while unique triggers like mute, clip and glitch help to isolate rare problems
not easily detected by viewing decoded data alone. In addition, AudioBus turns
the oscilloscope into a protocol analyzer with a customizable table display of
protocol information which can be exported as an Excel file.

The AudioBus TDG (Trigger, Decode and Graph) package is immediately available
for the WaveRunner oscilloscope platform for $1,995. The AudioBus TD (Trigger
and Decode) package is immediately available for the WaveRunner and WaveSurfer
oscilloscope platforms for $1,345. The View Audio Waveform capability is
enabled with the TDG option only.
