  • Page 39: Probus Interface

    Getting Started Manual  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.
  • Page 40 LabMaster 10 Zi Oscilloscopes The 2.92 mm high-bandwidth electrical paths are comprised of two connector halves/subassemblies which have a common mating interface:  The first connector half is mounted onto the oscilloscope connector panel. The outer end of this connector has a combination of grooves, external threads and a coaxial interface with a 2.92 mm airline geometry.

  • Page 66: Sampling Modes

    LabMaster 10 Zi Oscilloscopes Sampling Modes Depending on your timebase, you can choose: Real Time Sampling Mode (below) - Also known as single-shot sampling mode, a series of digitized voltage values sampled on the input signal at a uniform rate. Sequence Sampling Mode (on page 59) - Many trigger events stored as segments into the oscilloscope's memory.
  • Page 67 Getting Started Manual the other hand, allows you to sample the waveform starting at the equivalent of 10,000 divisions after the event occurred. On fast timebase settings, the maximum single-shot sampling rate is used. But for slower timebases, the sampling rate is decreased and the number of data samples maintained.
  • Page 68 LabMaster 10 Zi Oscilloscopes  You can use Sequence mode in remote operation to take full advantage of the instrument's high data-transfer capability. In Sequence mode, the complete waveform consists of a number of fixed- size segments acquired in single-shot mode (see the instrument specifications for the limits).
  • Page 69 Getting Started Manual EQUENCE ISPLAY ODES The instrument gives you a choice of five ways to display your segments:  Adjacent  Waterfall (cascaded)  Mosaic (tiled)  Overlay  Perspective NOTE : some display modes have limitations on the number of segments that can be shown at one time.
  • Page 70 LabMaster 10 Zi Oscilloscopes EQUENCE ETUP When setting up Sequence Mode, you define the number of fixed-size segments acquired in single-shot mode (see the instrument specifications for the limits). The oscilloscope uses the sequence timebase setting to determine the capture duration of each segment. Along with this setting, the oscilloscope uses the number of segments, maximum segment length, and total available memory to determine the actual number of samples or segments, and time or points.
