500 kHz / 5 MHz Lock-in Amplifier

No, variants are firmware- and software-based and can be implemented at a later time in the field.

The MFLI has an embedded web server, and can be connected to a local network where it can be accessed from any web browser by opening the address "http://mf-devXXXX.zhinst.com" (replacing XXXX with the serial number).

The key features of MFLI oscilloscope are:

• Single channel, up to 16 kSa samples per shot, 16-bit resolution (24-bit with BW limit)
• Sampling rates from 1.8 kSa/s to 60 MSa/s, up to 8.9 s acquisition time
• FFT of acquired scope shots with up to 30 MHz span (limited by 10 MHz analog input bandwidth (-3 dB))
• Multiple signal sources including signal inputs and trigger inputs, multiple trigger sources and trigger methods
• Independent hold-off, hysteresis, pre-trigger and trigger level settings
• Support for input scaling and arbitrary input units

The key features of MFLI spectrum analyzer are:

• Up to 58 kHz span, noise floor at 2.5 nV/√Hz, up to 8 kSa
• Choice of 6 different FFT window functions
• FFT input parameters: X+iY, R, Θ, f, (dΘ/dt)/(2π)

The key features of MFLI Sweeper are:

• Full-featured parametric sweep tool for signal output frequency, signal output amplitude, signal output offset, signal output phase, offset voltage auxiliary output
• Recording parameters: demodulator data (X, Y, R, Θ), oscillator frequency, auxiliary inputs, etc.
• Application modes: parameter sweep, noise amplitude measurement, frequency response analyzer, 3-Omega-sweep
• Other features: logarithmic sweeps, automatic bandwidth adjustment, persistent display of previous scans, phase unwrap, etc.

The fastest and simplest way to get started is to connect the instrument to the local network by 1 GbE, open a browser on any device in the same network and type "mf-devXXXX:8006" into the browser address field.

Yes, the user receives the MFLI with LabOne installed; in addition, users have access to a free LabOne PC and/or Linux version for their instrument. With the LabOne Web Server running on a PC, higher data rates can be obtained. The Installation is also required for API connection.

Yes, by using 10 MHz clock signals each instrument can serve as a reference or accept an external reference. Please inquire for more information: Contact Form.

All users receive support from Zurich Instruments independently onwhere the purchase took place. Local sales partners, where available, also provide first-level support in the local language. For extended support, instrument calibration or service, please check the Support page for more information.

There is an embedded computer that runs Linux and provides data server and web server capabilities.

No.

On a specific partition on the internal flash drive, on an external PC in the same network, or on a storage device attached to one of the MFLI's USB connectors.

Yes, either locally on the MFLI or on any PC in the same network.

Yes, by using the configuration files available on the internal memory.

Yes, that can help to achieve higher data rates for some applications.

No, at the moment the data server runs exclusively on the embedded PC.

The instrument comes with a country specific power cable, a USB cable, and a printed quick start guide.

The LabOne user interface allows to check for updates, upload them onto the instrument and initiate the update procedure.

The system can be set into its original state by downloading a software to a USB stick, attach the USB stick to the MFLI and restart the instrument. Measurement data and configuration files will be untouched.

No.

USB 2.0 is implemented. The operation requires a driver installation. USB 3.0 is not supported.

Yes. All demodulator data samples (X, Y, R, Θ, demodulator frequency) can be quantitatively analyzed in multiple ways in both time domain and frequency domain.

A minimum distance to the external casing is required to assure a proper air circulation around the instrument. A sufficient air exchange is recommended for avoiding heat accumulation.

Absolutely. The MFLI provides application programming interfaces for MATLAB, LabVIEW, C and Python: see the LabOne Compatibility page. For other software interfaces, please inquire by using the Contact Form.
