LeCroy Introduces WaveMaster 8 Zi

The WaveMaster 8 Zi Series provides up to 30 GHz of bandwidth, and sample rates up to 80 GS/s. The WaveMaster 8 Zi Series features many of the same options as the 7 Zi platform, such as TriggerScan™ rare event capture, a removable front panel and an integrated second display, as well as exceptional instrument responsiveness, 10 to 100 times faster analysis processing time, and a large 15.3” high-definition touch screen display. In addition, the WaveMaster 8 Zi Series’ proprietary X-Stream II architecture supports capturing, zooming, measuring and analyzing multiple waveforms up to 256 Mpts deep.

The SDA 8 Zi models are ideal for validating high-speed signals or testing high-speed serial data standards. Analysis tools such as IsoBER and superior jitter measurement methodologies provide faster and more accurate understanding of serial data problems, providing better results when debugging emerging, high-speed serial data standards, such as PCIe 3.0 and USB 3.0.

As rise times become faster, engineers face signal integrity measurement challenges. LeCroy’s Eye Doctor™ II Signal Integrity Tools, which are available for all 8 Zi Series products, provide the ability to add precision to signal integrity measurements by allowing subtraction of cable and fixture effects from high-speed signals while at the same time maintaining fast scope update speed on unlimited record lengths.
