300-MHz PXI, PCI, and VXI oscilloscopes
-- Test & Measurement World, 6/1/2008
Comprising models with two or four channels, the ZT4210 series of 300-MHz oscilloscopes from ZTEC Instruments comes in PXI, PCI, and VXI versions providing the same triggering, math, and analysis functions commonly found in ZTEC’s other M-class oscilloscopes.
In addition to an analog bandwidth of 300 MHz, the scopes offer real-time sampling rates of up to 1 Gsample/s (interleaved) and 500 Msamples/s (noninterleaved) with record lengths of up to 256 Msamples. Onboard processing allows the ZT4210 series to calculate more than 40 waveform parameters related to voltage, time, and frequency characteristics. The scopes also come standard with four calculation channels for performing basic and advanced math on acquired data.
The two-channel scopes are available in PXI, PCI, and VXI form factors, while the four-channel model comes in VXI only. All models accommodate direct inputs of ±300 V pk (CAT II). With input ranges from 1.25 mV/div to 40 V/div (10 vertical divisions), the ZT4210 is capable of handling a wide range of voltage levels without the need for external signal conditioning.
Base price: $4450. ZTEC Instruments, www.ztecinstruments.com.
