MultiScope Software Architecture

Control PC

The N8834A MultiScope application runs on a Windows 7 PC.

All the scopes are connected to the control PC via LAN or USB.

A control PC must be used if InfiniiVision scopes exist in the

multiscope configuration.

– PC supports both hosted/online and offline analysis.

– Scope front panels are disabled during MultiScope operation.

MultiScope is controlled by a PC installed with the N8900A

Infiniium Offline analysis software or the leader scope in the

absence of a PC.

– Display up to 16 grids per window, up to 8 windows.

– Full support of all measurements, functions, and analysis on

all channels.

– Test at the comfort of your workbench.

Leader scope is used to control and display multichannel waveforms.

View of 6 channels and 3 eye diagrams on a single window with 8 grids.

Daisy chained connection with power splitter and BNC cables.

The leader and the followers

The leader oscilloscope connects to the control PC via LAN or

USB or can act as the controller in the absence of the PC. The

one leader oscilloscope can connect two to nine followers. The

connection between oscilloscopes is daisy chained with cables

and splitters.

– Support edge or glitch trigger on leader (other triggering

modes (including InfiniiScan) are not supported).

– One-time deskew eliminates frame-to-frame skew created by

trigger daisy chain connection.

– Achieve inter-scope intrinsic jitter of 150 fs with precision

calibration on the 90000 Q-Series and Z-Series Infiniium

oscilloscopes.

– 10-MHz reference clock aligns sample for deep memory

synchronization.
