LabMaster 10 Zi Oscilloscopes Sampling Modes Sampling Modes Overview Depending on your timebase, you can choose: Single-shot Sampling Mode (on page 75) - Also known as Real Time mode, a series of digitized voltage values sampled on the input signal at a uniform rate.
Page 82: Single-Shot Sampling Mode
Getting Started Guide Single-shot Sampling Mode A single-shot acquisition is a series of digitized voltage values sampled on the input signal at a uniform rate. It is also a series of measured data values associated with a single trigger event. The acquisition is typically stopped a defined number of samples after this event occurs: a number determined by the selected trigger delay and measured by the timebase.
Page 83: Sequence Sampling Mode - Working With Segments
LabMaster 10 Zi Oscilloscopes Sequence Sampling Mode – Working with Segments Using Sequence Mode, thousands of trigger events can be stored as segments into the oscilloscope's memory (the exact number depends on oscilloscope model and memory options). This is ideal when capturing many fast pulses in quick succession or when capturing few events separated by long time periods.

Page 85: Sequence Mode Setup
LabMaster 10 Zi Oscilloscopes  Mosaic (tiled)  Overlay  Perspective NOTE: some display modes have limitations on the number of segments that can be shown at one time. Sequence Mode Setup 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).
Page 86 Getting Started Guide Setting up Sequence Mode (Adjacent) Touch Timebase → Horizontal Setup... on the menu bar. Click the Sequence tab. Under Acquisition Settings, touch inside the Num Segments data entry control and provide a value using your preferred input control method.
Page 87 LabMaster 10 Zi Oscilloscopes instances when a Num Segments miscount occurs for some reason and the oscilloscope waits indefinitely for an unforthcoming segment. During that time, no oscilloscope functions are accessible. By means of a timeout value, however, the acquisition will be completed, the waveform displayed, and control of the oscilloscope returned to the user after the timeout has elapsed.
Page 88: Zooming Segments In Sequence Mode
Getting Started Guide Zooming Segments in Sequence Mode You can zoom individual segments easily using the Zoom front panel button. When you zoom, the zoom traces default to Segment 1. Channel descriptors indicate the total number of segments acquired. Zoom descriptors indicate [Seg #] and #Segments in the Zoom.
Page 89: Displaying An Individual Segment
LabMaster 10 Zi Oscilloscopes If you want to increase or decrease your horizontal or vertical zoom in small increments, touch the Var. checkbox to enable variable zooming. Now with each touch of the zoom control buttons, the degree of magnification changes by small increments.

Getting Started Guide Touch inside the First Selected data entry control and select the first segment you want to display. Use the same method to provide a value in the Number of Selected data entry control. NOTE: In Persistence mode, the segments are automatically overlaid one on top of the other in the display.
Page 91: Ris Sampling Mode - For Higher Sampling Rates
LabMaster 10 Zi Oscilloscopes RIS Sampling Mode - For Higher Sampling Rates RIS (Random Interleaved Sampling) is an acquisition technique that allows effective sampling rates higher than the maximum single-shot sampling rate. It is used on repetitive waveforms with a stable trigger. The maximum effective RIS sampling rate is achieved by making multiple single-shot acquisitions at maximum real-time sample rate.
Page 92: Vertical
Getting Started Guide Vertical Vertical Overview You can access Vertical settings using the front panel Vertical controls, by selecting Vertical→ Channel Setup... on the menu bar, or by touching the Channel trace descriptor label. The following screen-shot shows the C1 dialog on a LabMaster. For each open channel trace, a corresponding Cx dialog opens with setup controls.
Page 93 Bandwidth - Bandwidth filters are available at a variety of fixed bandwidth settings. The exact settings vary by model.  Probe - Teledyne LeCroy's 1.85 mm and 2.92 mm probe inputs automatically senses probes and sets their attenuation for you. For each channel, the probe attenuation can also be set manually.
Page 94: Pre-Processing Controls
Getting Started Guide Pre-Processing Controls Pre-Processing means “before Math processing.” Pre-Processing controls provide the following functions for your respective channel:  Averaging - Specifically performs continuous averaging or the repeated addition, with unequal weight, of successive source waveforms. It is particularly useful for reducing noise on signals drifting very slowly in time or amplitude.
Page 95 NOTE: The Cable De-Embedding checkbox is only available if you have the option. To learn more about this software option, Contact Teledyne LeCroy for Support.  Interpolation - Linear interpolation, which inserts a straight line between sample points, is best used to reconstruct straight- edged signals such as square waves.
Page 96: Response Optimization Modes
When zero group delay is provided at all frequencies, preshoot and overshoot is equalized. Teledyne LeCroy provides three choices for Response Optimization Mode selection. These choices combine a frequency and group delay response to optimize the oscilloscope for particular applications.
Page 97 LabMaster 10 Zi Oscilloscopes  Eye Diagram - Flat group delay compensation resulting in equalized preshoot and overshoot. This selection improves the symmetry of serial eye diagrams. In addition, a fourth-order Bessel frequency response is implemented.  Flatness - Flat group delay compensation with a brick-wall frequency response.
