Modular oscilloscope system

25 May 2011 Test & Measurement

LeCroy’s new line of LabMaster 9 Zi-A modular oscilloscope systems provides bandwidth of 45 GHz, sample rate of 120 GSps and up to 20 channels, with analysis memory up to 768 Mpts/ch.

The LabMaster 9 Zi-A system architecture separates the oscilloscope signal acquisition function from the display, control and processing functions. ‘Master’ acquisition modules contain the display, control and a single acquisition module in one unit, while ‘slave’ acquisition modules contain additional acquisition systems. A powerful server-class CPU is in a third module, and it provides processing power for the immense amounts of data made possible by the system. Using proprietary ChannelSync technology, the master acquisition module can perfectly synchronise slave modules to provide very high channel density. The flexibility of the design also allows users to configure the systems for conventional benchtop use with economic value.

LabMaster 9 Zi-A’s modular design provides a simple upgrade path in both bandwidth and channel count – customers start with a minimum configuration and add channels over time by simply adding additional acquisition modules, upgrading bandwidth on existing modules, or mixing and matching bandwidths in one system. The platform also provides for future expandability as LeCroy introduces additional acquisition modules rated for higher bandwidth.
