Signal Inputs
Interfaces
LabMaster 9 Zi systems are equipped with a variety of interfaces to allow
you to connect cables directly to the oscilloscope channels, reducing the
need to use costly adapters that may be easily lost or misplaced.
The interfaces power the probe and completely integrate the probe with
the oscilloscope channel in a number of ways:
Upon connection, the probe is recognized and some setup
information, such as input coupling and attenuation, is performed
automatically.
System (probe plus oscilloscope) gain settings are automatically
calculated and displayed based on the probe attenuation.
Most active probes match probe to oscilloscope response
automatically using probe response data stored in an on-board
EEPROM. This ensures the best possible combined probe plus
oscilloscope channel frequency response without the need to
perform any de-embedding procedure.
Interfaces differ in bandwidth capabilities, so the interfaces contained on
your oscilloscope—and their exact location—depend on the bandwidth
rating of the oscilloscope model you purchased.
High-bandwidth interfaces (45 GHz and up) must be enabled by selecting
the appropriate Dual Bandwidth Interleave setting on the Timebase dialog
and the Input B setting on the Channel dialog.
NOTE:
AUX INPUT and AUX OUTPUT connections are typically located on the Front
of the oscilloscope near the other interfaces.
ProLink Interface
All LabMaster 9xxMZi-A Master Acquisition Modules and 9xxSZi-A Slave
Acquisition Modules use the ProLink interface for inputs up to 20 GHz on
channels 1-4.
The ProLink interface contains a 6-pin power and communication
connection and a Blind Mate Adapter (BMA) signal connection to the
probe. It offers 50 Ω input impedance and provides probe power and
