Autotestcon: ZTEC debuts VXI oscilloscopes

-- Test & Measurement World, 9/24/2007 12:22:00 PM

ZTEC Instruments introduced at Autotestcon its ZT4610 VXI digital oscilloscopes, which target high-density aerospace and defense ATE applications. The VXI C-size instruments provide 1-GHz analog bandwidth and a maximum 4-Gsample/s sampling rate.

The 2-channel ZT4611 and the 4-channel ZT4612 are both available in standard-memory (up to 16 Msample record lengths) and long-memory (up to 64 Msample record lengths) versions. The deep memory can be used in either continuous or segmented mode. Combined with a pan and zoom feature, continuous memory mode is suitable for general-purpose troubleshooting and signal inspection. In segmented-memory mode, up to 32,000 waveforms can be captured and viewed individually, overlaid, stored, and analyzed. Segmented mode is suitable for the analysis of repetitive signals, such as those found in many of today’s communications standards.

In addition, the ZT4610 VXI offers input-signal conditioning, advanced triggering, and a variety of acquisition modes. Trigger types include rising/falling edge, pattern, state, pulse width, video, and multi-event cascading triggers. Acquisition modes include averaging, envelope, equivalent time, peak detect, high resolution, and fast acquisition.

The ZT4610 VXI also provides users with a number of waveform-analysis tools. The instruments calculate over 36 waveform parameters for each acquired waveform, providing quick insight into waveform behavior. With four math channels, users can perform waveform math using basic functions like add, subtract, and multiply, as well as more advanced functions like FFT, histograms, mask testing, and limit testing.

Free instrument drivers from ZTEC help users integrate the ZT4610 VXI into ATE or embedded systems. The drivers enable seamless instrument integration into key programming environments including IVI, LabView, LabWindows/CVI, MATLAB, COM, Visual C/C++, and Visual Basic. Additionally, ZTEC offers free ZScope control and display software. The ZScope soft-front-panel application, which runs on Windows and Linux, gives users control of the instrument and displays acquired waveforms.
