LabMaster 10 Zi 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,
where crosstalk analysis is performed, 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 10xxZi 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. Additionally, a single trigger signal is used
for all acquisition modules to completely eliminate trigger jitter between
modules, such as would be found when two conventional oscilloscopes are
synchronized with 10 MHz clocks and a common trigger signal. The system
also ensures Acquisition Modules are automatically identified to the Master,
and software de-skew calibration routines allow for fast calibration and
correction for any static acquisition skew between all acquisition modules.
The 10-xxZi Acquisition Modules are available in a variety of bandwidths and
channel density configurations. The example below contains a mix of 36 GHz
and 65 GHz models. Refer to specifications on the product datasheet
maintained at www.teledynelecroy.com for more information.
Detailed steps explaining how to configure hardware are covered in
LabMaster Setup on page 16.

configurations. I/O panels are located on the back of the Master Control
Module. See Back of MCM-Zi Master Control Module (on page 10) for more
information.
NOTE: The MCM-Zi motherboard is a server-class motherboard with certain I/O
capabilities (serial port, VGA/WXGA video output) that are not utilized by the MCMZi, even though the physical connectors remain on the I/O panel. The 9-pin serial
port is used for communication to the server motherboard, and the 15-pin video
connector only outputs text debug messages from the motherboard. Since these
capabilities are not useful for the MCM-Zi, they are disabled in the BIOS and will not
provide any I/O should you connect to them.
