300 MHz LAN Oscilloscopes With +/-300 CAT II Direct Inputs Offer Powerful Benchtop Scope Performance & High Channel Density

ZTEC Instruments introduces its ZT4210 LAN oscilloscopes. These small, 1U height, half-rack width, rack mountable, high channel density oscilloscopes provide powerful features that are normally found only on much larger benchtop instruments. Designed specifically for ATE, aerospace & defense, and embedded test applications, these LAN oscilloscopes deliver all the necessary functionality. Their small size and remote monitoring capabilities enable users to easily obtain high channel density and to interface with instruments across the lab or around the world via a network connection.

These high-performance oscilloscopes are available in 2 and 4 channel versions. Key specifications include 300 MHz analog bandwidth, up to 1 GS/s real-time sampling, and up to 256M sample record lengths. The ZT4210 series calculates over 40 waveform parameters and includes 4 calculation channels for performing basic and advanced math on acquired data. Math functions include add, subtract, multiply, integration, differentiation, FFT, histograms, parameter trending and many more.

The analog front-end on the ZT4210 gives users the ability to accurately measure a wide range of input voltage levels up to +/-300 V CAT II. With full scale input ranges from 400 Vpp to 12.5 mVpp, the ZT4210 enables ATE and embedded test systems users to measure an extremely wide range of signals without the need for external signal amplification or attenuation. This is important for automated and remote test applications where it is difficult or impossible to quickly add or remove external signal conditioning.

With its Ethernet connector, the ZT4210 LAN offers complete remote control and monitoring of the instrument. This includes the ability to view waveform data and transfer data and setup files from anywhere as long as the user has access to the instrument’s IP address.

Free instrument drivers from ZTEC help users easily integrate the ZT4210 LAN into ATE and embedded systems. Drivers are available for key programming environments including LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, MATLAB, COM, Visual C/C++, Visual Studio and others.

Additionally, ZTEC offers free ZScope control and display software and the ZFind instrument locator and configuration utility. The intuitive ZScope soft front panel application, with the look and feel of a benchtop instrument, gives users complete control of the instrument and displays acquired waveforms, math waveforms, and waveform parameter data. ZFind enables users to easily identify what ZTEC instruments are installed on the current host. ZFind also lets users send commands to connected instruments and read back information from those instruments.
