TELEDYNE LECROY High Bandwidth Modular Oscilloscope Systems

The Ultimate in Performance — High Bandwidth, High Channel Count, High Sample Rate LabMaster 9 Zi-A modular oscilloscope systems completely re-define oscilloscope performance and capabilities. LabMaster 9 Zi-A provides more of everything, and its modular design provides the simplest upgrade path in bandwidth and channel count. ChannelSync™ ensures precise synchronization of all channels in all acquisition modules using a single-distributed 10 GHz clock and a single trigger circuit. The result is the highest timebase accuracy and an ultra-low 250 fs jitter between all channels, identical to that...

INNOVATIVE OSCILLOSCOPE SOLUTIONS The pace of innovation is accelerating. Oscilloscopes with more channels, and more bandwidth on many channels, are needed. LabMaster 9 Zi-A is the first fundamentally different oscilloscope design in 30 years. LabMaster 9 Zi-A builds on the acquisition and analysis excellence of the Teledyne LeCroy WaveMaster 8 Zi-A to create an entirely new class of oscilloscopes that is modular, inherently upgradeable, and infinitely flexible while retaining all of the performance excellence which Teledyne LeCroy is known for. LabMaster 9 Zi-A systems can be configured for...

“Master” Acquisition Module The 9xxMZi-A Master Acquisition Module is similar to the “Master” Control Module, except that it contains an acquisition module and the CPU is a separate module. High speed multi-lane PCIe connections are made to the “Slave” Acquisition Modules for control, and to the CPU for data transfer. Note that although this module alone looks like a conventional oscilloscope, it lacks an internal Central Processing Unit (CPU) – all data is sent to the server-class CPU for processing. The 9xxSZi-A Acquisition Modules are tightly integrated to the Master with the ChannelSync 10...

PERFORMANCE EXCELLENCE & Investment Protection The LabMaster 9 Zi-A platform provides a modular, building block approach to minimizing initial investment while at the same time providing future flexibility. The minimum configuration is four channels at 13 GHz with maximum upgrade to 20, 40, or 80 channels at 45, 30, or 20 GHz respectively with up to 768 Mpts/ch of analysis memory. 20 GHz, 4 Channel Core Acquisition Module Digital Bandwidth Interleave for Upgradeability A SiGe acquisition system  — the same one utilized in the WaveMaster 8 Zi-A oscilloscope product line  — is operated comfortably...

Beyond 20 Input Channels Easily expand beyond 20 channels (5 acquisition modules) with the LabMaster CMH-20Zi ChannelSync Mainframe Hub. This permits capability for up to 80 channels at 20 GHz with the same precise ChannelSync performance as described for the basic system. The ChannelSync Mainframe Hub redistributes the 10GHz clock and the Master module’s PCIe synchronization signals. It outputs up to 20 identical sets of signals that are connected to up to 20 acquisition modules to provide up to 80 channels at 20 GHz, up to 40 channels at 30 GHz, or up to 20 channels at 45 GHz. Precision between...

Complete Application Coverage occurring to support faster electrical datacom and telecom transfer rates. Sampling oscilloscopes lack the data collection and analysis capability necessary to understand the root cause of deterministic jitter issues, such as that provided by Teledyne LeCroy’s SDA III Serial Data Analysis software. 10 to 28+ Gb/s SERDES Development Development and characterization of high-speed SERDES is actively For 28 Gb/s SERDES development, LabMaster 9 Zi-A can be cost-effectively configured for two channels at 30/36 GHz and 8 channels at 20 GHz, providing a good balance between...

Multi-Lane Serial Data As serial data rates have increased, serial data has also become “parallel” with multiple lanes utilized to achieve higher effective data transfer rates. 40/100 GbE with up to 10 lanes at 10 Gb/s each, 100 GbE with up to 4 lanes at 28 Gb/s each, and PCI Express with up to 16 lanes at 8 Gb/s each, all using differential signaling, are obvious examples. LabMaster 9 Zi-A can be configured in up to 80 channels at 20 GHz, or up to 40 channels at 30 GHz. This can be especially helpful for crosstalk analysis or lane skew measurements. For instance, by sending active data over...

Enabling High-Speed SERDES Developments

The pace of SERDES development is accelerating, driven by increasing network traffic, the desire for reduction in lane count to simplify design and development, and the need to maintain the same (or higher) aggregate data transfer speeds. 10  12 Gb/s speeds previously developed are now commonly – deployed with up to 10 lanes in 100 GbE, and demands are now focusing on 25 – 32 Gb/s speeds. LabMaster 9 Zi-A is uniquely suited to the demands of the high-speed SERDES market. It’s ability to provide up to 45 GHz of real-time bandwidth  with two or more input channels is beneficial for accurate characterization...

Multi-Lane Serial Data Testing LabMaster 9 Zi-A systems provide unique capability to capture and analyze massive numbers of channels at very high bandwidth    p to 80 channels at 20 GHz or 40 channels at 30 GHz    ith precise synchronization amongst all chan—u —w nels using Teledyne LeCroy’s ChannelSync. This is an ideal solution for serial data standards with many lanes of data at high bit rates, such as 40/100 GbE and PCI Express. Additionally, serial decode, protocol analysis, eye diagram, jitter measurement, and crosstalk analysis tools can be applied for single or multi-lane analysis and...
