  2. 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

  3. 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”

  4. 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

  5. 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

  6. 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

  7. 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

  8. 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

  9. 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

  10. 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

  11. ArbStudio Competitive Landscape

  12. ArbStudio Summary • 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
