- Operate all instruments from a single LabOne user interface and LabOne API.
- Lock in phase all instrument clocks and oscillators (stable phase relationship).
- Synchronize time stamps and sampling rates for automatic alignment of measurement data.

I 2 ingressi e le 2 uscite di segnale offrono 2 amplificatori lock-in in un unico strumento. Ogni unità lock-in comprende 4 demodulatori bifase che forniscono simultaneamente X, Y, R e Θ.
Ingressi di segnale ad alta precisione
I 2 ingressi di segnale dell'UHFLI garantiscono specifiche di rumore eccellenti e operano in modalità 'single-ended'. L'accoppiamento d'ingresso può essere impostato su alta impedenza o 50 Ω per applicazioni a bassa frequenza o ad alta velocità. Per la modalità di riferimento esterno e l'attivazione precisa su eventi esterni, l'UHFLI è dotato di 2 ingressi aggiuntivi e 2 connettori bidirezionali. Sono supportate anche le modalità a doppio riferimento interno e a doppio riferimento automatico.
Generatori di segnale
L'UHFLI genera 2 uscite sinusoidali a bassa distorsione ideali per pilotare il dispositivo in uso e la maggior parte dei dispositivi modulanti. L'opzione UHF-MF fornisce 6 oscillatori aggiuntivi e permette la generazione di una combinazione lineare che comprende fino a 8 sinusoidi. Connettori addizionali sul pannello anteriore forniscono i segnali demodulati di ampiezza, fase o quadratura, riferimenti di onda quadra o segnali di trigger per l'hardware esterno.
Demodulators and filters
The UHFLI comes with 8 dual-phase demodulators for simultaneous measurement at 4 harmonic frequencies per signal input. Each demodulator has individually configurable filter parameters. The measured amplitude and phase data after demodulation are streamed in real time to the host computer.
Triggers
A reference and trigger network provides high-performance operation: reference input and output work at a bandwidth of 600 MHz, and trigger input and output feature reaction times down to 100 ns. The UHFLI is the first lock-in amplifier with dedicated hardware and software trigger functionalities. Hardware triggers enable quick reaction to physical conditions, whereas software triggers provide an infrastructure to define complex trigger criteria. Triggers are used to output demodulated samples at specific points in time, or to synchronize actions between several functional domains inside the UHFLI.
Arithmetic Unit
The Arithmetic Unit enables fast computation on a collection of measurement data. This processor features addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of all data that are available on the auxiliary outputs. Applications include balanced detection, normalization by a reference, and dual-frequency resonance tracking.

Domande e risposte - UHFLI
-
Yes. The goal at Zurich Instruments is to reduce complexity by making all functionalities available at the same time. For example: use the UHF-AWG option to generate pulses for electrical pump-probe spectroscopy, and analyze the signals with the boxcar (by enabling the UHF-BOX option) as you control the cantilever with the lock-in functionality and the PLL/PID option.
-
No, because all options are enabled through changes of the firmware on your instrument. Therefore, options can be added by providing a specific activation code. The exception is the UHF-RUB option, as the implementation of an atomic frequency standard requires a rubidium atomic clock to be added to the hardware – hence the instrument needs to be sent back to Zurich Instruments in this case.
-
Yes, the two signal inputs are fully independent. You can either use them as inputs for two detectors in your experiment or use them for different experiments. You may view this capability as that of two lock-in amplifiers in a single casing.
-
No, the UHFLI comes in one hardware configuration with two signal inputs and two signal outputs. For applications that require more channels, multiple UHFLIs can be combined thanks to multi-device synchronisation (MDS).
