LabMaster 10 Zi Hardware
Overview
LabMaster 10 Zi is a unique modular oscilloscope solution that allows a
configuration of more channels at higher bandwidths than conventional
four channel oscilloscopes. It is ideally suited for test situations where
there are many lanes of serial data to be captured and analyzed
simultaneously, crosstalk analysis or for capturing four or more channels
at the highest-possible bandwidths for optical coherent modulation
applications. Each LabMaster consists of a single Master Control
Module, additional Acquisition Modules, and a ChannelSync Mainframe
Hub in systems where more than five acquisition modules are required.
Acquisition Modules can be added at any time for easy channel
upgrades. Bandwidth upgrades are available for future scalability.
Unique ChannelSync™ architecture ensures precise synchronization
between all oscilloscope channels located in different acquisition
modules. A single 10 GHz distributed clock signal is generated in the
MCM-Zi Master Control Module, and then used in or distributed to as
many as twenty 10-xxZi Acquisition Modules. The 10 GHz clock
frequency - 1000 times faster than the 10 MHz reference clocks
commonly used to synchronize lab equipment - ensures precise
synchronization and high-timebase accuracy between all acquisition
modules. The system ensures Acquisition Modules are automatically
identified to the Master, and software calibration routines allow for fast
calibration and correction for any static acquisition skew between all
acquisition modules.
