Optical Modulation Analyzer

LabMaster Real-Time Oscilloscope

See the

LabMaster 10 Zi-A Operator’s Manual

included with your MCM-Zi-A unit for a description of the

LabMaster hardware features.

Compatible Hardware

Coherent receiver, oscilloscope modules, and software may be purchased independently and combined to

form an OMA system, although system performance may not equal that of a complete Teledyne LeCroy

OMA system. The following hardware has been tested to be compatible with each other and the

Optical LinQ OMA software.
