Introducing WaveMaster 8 Zi-B
The WaveMaster 8 Zi-B combines the performance, signal fidelity and
feature set needed for today’s high-speed measurements with the ease-
of-use of a standard benchtop oscilloscope. Featuring the highest-speed
serial data triggers, the only complete multi-lane serial data analysis and
eye diagram solution, and the most comprehensive set of compliance
packages, the WaveMaster 8 Zi-B simplifies the most complex testing.
MAUI with OneTouch
MAUI with OneTouch introduces a new paradigm for oscilloscope user
experience. Dramatically reduce set up time with revolutionary drag-and-
drop actions, and use familiar touch screen gestures like pinch, swipe and
flick to intuitively interact with the instrument.
Mixed Signal Option
The HDA125 High Speed Digital Analyzer and MS-250/MS-500 Mixed
Signal Options enable up-to-36 integrated digital channels and a set of
tools designed to simultaneously view, measure and analyze analog and
digital signals for fast debugging of mixed signal designs. The industry’s
only true 14.1 Gb/s serial pattern hardware trigger combined with flexible
analog and digital triggering across all channels provides the ability to
quickly identify and isolate problems in an embedded system.
Multi-Lane Serial Data Analysis
SDAIII-CompleteLinQ simultaneously displays eye diagrams and breaks
down jitter on four signals. Eye Doctor II and VirtualProbe options
emulate real-world system behavior and analyze lane interactions
using S-parameter files, while Crosstalk tools analyze amplitude noise.
QualiPHY software simplifies and automates compliance testing and
reporting for a wide range of serial data standards.

Powering On/Off
Before connecting the power cord, flip the AC Power Switch on the
back of the oscilloscope (p.6) to the Off position. Always support the
power cord by running it through the Power Cable Clamp. Use a Philips
screwdriver to remove the clamp,
attach the power cord to the AC inlet,
then secure the clamp over the cord as
shown here.
After securing the cord to the
oscilloscope, connect it to a grounded
AC power outlet. Flip the AC power
Switch On, then, press the Standby
Power Button on the front of the instrument to turn on the instrument. The
button will light to show the oscilloscope is operational.
CAUTION. Do not power on or calibrate with a signal attached.
Press the Power button again or use or the File > Shutdown menu option
to execute a proper shut down process and preserve settings.
CAUTION. Do not press and hold the Power button. This will execute
a hard shutdown, but may not preserve setups and data.
The Power button does not disconnect the oscilloscope from the AC power
supply, but puts it into "Standby" mode. Some “housekeeping” circuitry
continues to draw power. The only way to fully power down the instrument
is to turn off the AC Power Switch on the back, or unplug the power cord
from the outlet. We recommend unplugging the instrument if it will remain
unused for a long period of time
CAUTION. Do not change the Windows® Power setting to System
Standby or System Hibernate. Doing so may cause failure.
OVERVIEW
The removable front panel houses buttons and knobs that control
acquisition settings. The front panel release button lets you detach
the front panel and use it like a remote. Operate the instrument using
front panel hard controls, display soft controls, or a mix of both that is
convenient for you. See "Front Panel" on p.9.
The touch screen display is the principal viewing and control center of
the oscilloscope. See p.10 for an overview of its components.
The Cal Out hook emits a signal that can be used to compensate passive
probes. WaveMaster 8 Zi-B oscilloscopes are compatible with the included
passive probes and all ProBus active probes that are rated for the
oscilloscope’s bandwidth. Probe specifications and documentation are at
teledynelecroy.com/probes.
The Standby Power button controls the operational state of the
oscilloscope. See “Powering On/Off”.
C1-C4 are signal inputs. You may use either the “A” row of ProLink inputs
or the “B” row of ProBus and 2.92 mm inputs for analog signal. A variety
of adapters are available to accommodate different cable connectors.
Your input selection is made visible by the Input Row indicators.
Aux Out can be configured to send a pulse to another device upon a
trigger event or Pass/Fail outcome, or to generate a continuous signal.
Aux In can be used to input an external trigger.
The Ground Terminal can be used to ground active probes or connected
to a grounding wrist strap.
The Fast Edge output emits a square wave signal with ~30 ps rising
edges that can be used to deskew channels.
Tilting feet allow you to adjust the angle of the display for easier bench
top viewing.

Connecting to External Devices/Systems
See the WaveMaster 8 Zi-B Oscilloscopes Operator’s Manual for more
instructions on connecting to external devices.
Audio/USB Peripherals
Connect the device to the appropriate port. These connections are “plug-
and-play” and do not require further configuration. Use the Windows
control panel to make adjustments. Choose File > Minimize to go to the
Windows desktop.
External Monitor
The DisplayPort interfaces support Ultra HD monitors. Connect the monitor
to any port on the back of the instrument. You can use an adapter if the
cable has a different interface. Go to Display > Display Setup > Open
Monitor Control Panel to configure display settings using the Windows
control panel. Be sure to select the oscilloscope as the primary display.
To use the Extend Grids feature, configure the second monitor to extend,
not duplicate, the oscilloscope display. If the external monitor is touch
screen enabled, the MAUI user interface can be controlled through touch
on the external monitor.
Note: The oscilloscope touch screen uses Fujitsu drivers. Because of
potential conflicts, external monitors with Fujitsu drivers cannot be used
as touch screens, only as displays.
LAN
WaveMaster 8 Zi-B is preset to accept a DHCP network address over a TCP/
IP connection. Connect an ENET cable from either port to a network access
device. Go to Utilities > Utilities Setup > Remote to find the IP address.
To assign the oscilloscope a static IP address, open Net Connections
from the Remote dialog and use the Windows networking dialogs to
configure the device address. Go to File > File Sharing to configure email.
Remote Control
You can control the instrument over a LAN using VICP (TCP/IP) or
VXI-11 (LXI). Use a standard ENET cable to connect to a network access
point, and be sure the instrument is on the same subnet as the controller.
You can also connect directly using TCP/IP, but depending on the
controller, you may need to use a cross-over cable.
Note: To use LXI on Windows 10 oscilloscopes, switch to the
Administrative User LCRYADMIN (p.41).
GPIB and LSIB can also be used to make a remote connection if you have
installed the optional card/board.
To change the remote control setting from the default VICP (TCP/IP), go
to Utilities > Utilities Setup > Remote.
Printer
WaveMaster 8 Zi-B supports USB printers that are compatible with the
Windows OS installed on the oscilloscope. Connect the printer to any USB
port, then go to File > Print Setup > Print and select Printer to configure
settings. Choose Properties to open the Windows print dialog.
Auxiliary Output
The oscilloscope can output a pulse upon a trigger event or Pass/
Fail outcome, a direct current, or a square wave of custom amplitude
and frequency. Connect a BNC cable from Aux Out on the front of the
instrument to the other device. Go to Utilities > Utilities Setup > Aux
Output to configure the output.
Reference Clock
To input or output a reference clock, connect a BNC cable from Ref In
or Ref Out on the back of the instrument to the other instrument. Go to
Timebase > Horizontal Setup > Clock Source to configure the clock.

BASICS
Setup, Waveform and Table Data
The current oscilloscope configuration can be saved to internal setup
panels or setup (.LSS) files and later recalled.
Waveform data can be stored to trace (.TRC) files and later recalled into
memories to restore the waveform display to the screen.
Table data can be saved to either ASCII (.TXT) or Excel (.CSV) files.
When multiple waveforms or tables are displayed, one command saves
All Displayed to separate, autonamed files.
Screen Captures
The front panel Print button captures an image of the
screen, which will then be handled according to your
chosen Print method (sent to a printer, saved to an image
file, etc.). Before printing or saving the capture, use the
drawing tools to annotate the image, same as with
LabNotebooks.
You can also use the touch screen File > Save Screen Image.
File Sharing
If the oscilloscope is networked, LabNotebooks, reports and other
user data files can be emailed directly from the instrument or saved to
accessible network devices.
Files can also be transferred to a USB drive through any of the host USB
ports. Stored user data files are located on the D: drive.
Saving and Sharing Data
Use the oscilloscope File menu options to save and recall data. See the
WaveMaster 8 Zi-B Oscilloscopes Operator’s Manual for more information on
using these features.
LabNotebooks
LabNotebooks are composite files (.LNB) containing setups, waveform
data and screen image as they were at the moment of capture. Creating a
LabNotebook can be as simple as pressing the Print button as you work.
Flashback LabNotebooks to restore the oscilloscope to the exact state it
was in when the file was saved. Waveforms and tables are displayed as
they were for new analyses to be performed.
LabNotebook files can be edited, annotated and exported into a
preformatted HTML, .RTF or .PDF report. They can also be extracted into
their component setup, waveform, and screen image files.

Pressing the Intensity knob applies Persistence
to the trace. You’ll see the WaveStream indicator
light to show Persistence is on. Continue
pressing the knob to switch from Analog to
Color or turn off Persistence. When Persistence
is on, turning the Intensity knob adjusts the
trace Intensity and Saturation levels.
BASICS
Line, Intensity, and Persistence
The trace style can be set to a series of separate sample Points or a
continuous vector Line.
Grid Intensity makes the grid lines dimmer or brighter relative to the trace.
When more data is available than can actually be displayed, Trace
Intensity helps to visualize significant events by applying an algorithm
that dims less frequently occurring samples. Turn the front panel Intensity
knob to control the trace Intensity (the level appears in the Message Bar).

Working With Traces
Trace Descriptor Boxes
Channel (C1-C4), Zoom (Z1-Z12), Math (F1-F12), Memory (M1-M12), and
Digital (Digital1-Digital4) descriptor boxes appear along the bottom of
the grid area when a trace is turned on. Descriptor boxes summarize,
activate, arrange and configure the traces they represent.
Trace Context Menu
The trace context menu is a quick way to apply math, measurements or
labels to traces. To open the context menu, right-click with your mouse or
touch-and-hold on the trace descriptor box until a white circle appears,
then release.
Active vs. Inactive Trace
Although several traces may be open and appear on the display, only one at
a time is active. This is true for all traces, regardless of the type. All actions
apply to the active trace until another is selected.
Touch a trace or its descriptor box to activate it and bring it to the foreground.
When the descriptor box appears highlighted in blue, front panel controls and
touch screen gestures apply to that trace.
