Software for oscilloscopes and waveform generatorsAn updated software package has been introduced by ZTEC Instruments for its M-class oscilloscopes and waveform generators in PCI, PXI, VXI, and LXI platforms.The M-class consists of instruments in the ZT4200-4600 series with a 500 MS/s to 4 GS/s real-time sampling range and an 8-to 14-bit ADC resolution range.Windows 7 and 64-bit Windows are now supported by the M-class instruments in all available platforms.The standard software delivered with all the company's instruments includes drivers for common programming environments (C/C++, IVI-C, LabVIEW, and COM), ZWave or ZScope control software, and the ZFind Resource Manager.In addition, ZFind's easy three-step process of search, select, and add allows LXI users to discover their instruments without knowing the IP address.That enhancement is available in both Windows and Linux.
