Features
Affordable Performance for 500 MHz/1 GHz /1.5 GHz BW Measurements
The standard DL9000 series is equipped with 2.5 M word/ch record length, dot density display technology and a wide variety of analysis and trigger functions. For full 1 GHz/1.5 GHz BW measurements, optional 2.5 GHz active probes are available. These make the DL9000 series the most affordable 500 MHz/1 GHz/1.5 GHz measurement system available today.

DL9000 Trigger Types
History Memory with Fast Signal Acquisition
Fast signal acquisition helps you avoid missing anomalies. However, simple superimposed waveform displays only tell whether or not an anomaly occurred. Such displays do not provide information about when the anomaly occurred, what events occurred before the anomaly, nor what happened after the anomaly. The DL9000's History memory function allows you to view and analyze up to 2000 previously acquired waveforms, even after the acquisition stops. This offers unparalleled insight into waveform behavior and makes troubleshooting easier.History memory advantage #1: Correlate events from multiple channels
Ex 1: Display shows superimposed history waveforms
(Up to 2000 waveforms can be saved in history memory)
History memory advantage #2: Determine sequence of events
History memory captures and saves waveforms before and after the anomaly; thus providing insight into the cause and effect of the anomaly.
Security for Confidential Tests
The DL9000 series can be configured without the optional internal HDD. For units without the HDD, it is both easy and fast to securely erase all the data in the unit. Therefore, you do not have to worry about your confidential test results being transferred to a different location, along with the unit.A Small Footprint Means More Room on Your Bench for the DUT
| The DL9000 is only 35 cm wide and 18 cm deep so it does not take up all your valuable bench space. And it weighs only 6.5 kg so it is easy to move from one bench to another. |

Flexible Acquisitions
The DL9000 signalXplorer is Yokogawa's 10(X)th generation digital oscilloscope. It allows users to select the most appropriate memory setting for a given measurement and then acquires and displays long and short memory records quickly, saving the waveforms to its segmented memory. Advanced memory handling ensures that you get all the benefits of a long memory scope regardless of the record size you allocate for each acquisition. This is made possible by the state-of-the-art ADSE (advanced data stream engine) ASIC.Burst signal capture scheme
Example of shorter memory acquisitions (I2C SDA signal capture): by skipping portions of a signal which contain no information, many frames can be acquired in the memory.
Mega word signal capture example (TV composite signal): 1 whole TV frame can be captured without losing detail.
History Replay
When acquisition stops and there are more than two acquisitions in memory, the HISTORY key is illuminated. At that time, you can use the rotary knob to view every single acquisition in memory, one-by-one, and look for an anomaly. The new History Replay function allows you to play back the waveforms in memory in the same way you play back video on a DVR.

|
ADSE Offers Two Fast Signal Acquisition Modes
N Single Mode
When you need to observe closely-spaced waveform events consecutively, it is important to minimize the dead time between captures. The 'N single' mode on the DL9000 captures up to 1,600 waveforms on each of 4 channels with as little as 400 ns of dead time between acquisitions. In the 500 ps/div range, this corresponds to an effective acquisition rate of 2.5 M waveforms/sec/ch.
New ACCUM (accumulation) mode
When observing long-term repetitive waveform events, the ACCUM function offers a fast repetitive signal acquisition rate of up to 25 k waveforms/sec/ch (on 4 channels simultaneously) while retaining up to 2,000 acquisitions in memory.
Whether you use N single or the ACCUM function, previously acquired waveforms are stored in memory and can be accessed using the History Function.
Search Function
Search function
Both Zoom search and History search functions are available in the signalXplorer. Zoom search locates an area of interest in a single acquisition. History search locates any acquisition in history memory that meet user-selected criteria.Dot density display
The intensity of individual display pixels are varied depending on how often a signal illuminates each pixel. Even for single shot acquisitions, Dot Density Display provides visual information about the S/N ratio of a signal. For repetitive signal acquisitions, this feature offers additional insight into the frequency of occurrence of portions of a signal over time. In short, Dot Density Display technology offers analog oscilloscope-like waveform representations on a digital scope.Functions
Enhanced Analysis & Math
Histogram displays
Gain new perspectives on your waveforms by using time and voltage histograms. For example, signal jitter can be shown using a time histogram, and noise on DC signals can be visualized using a voltage histogram. 
Example: result of time histogram
Statistics
Use the statistics functions to generate statistical information (max, min, avg, std dev, etc.) about waveform parameters. Continuous statistics (running statistics on selected parameters during acquisition), Cycle statistics (statistical information about a waveform on a cycle-by-cycle basis) and History statistics (statistics on waveforms captured in history memory) are all available. 
Example: cycle statistics
FFT
The DL9000 series can calculate FFT waveforms using up to 250 k points. To scale the results, you can specify the center frequency and the frequency span, just like you would do with a spectrum analyzer.
250 k point FFT Scaled FFT result
Trend displays
Track long-term waveform parameter trends using the trend display. The Trend display can be used to visualize fluctuations of a selected parameter.
Example: Trend display of P-P values
Mask testing
With free Mask Editor Software, you can define a mask and then test to see whether or not the measured signal falls in/out of the mask. Masks for a variety of communication signals can be defined. 
Example: Telecom test Example: Mask Editor Software
Waveform math
Define up to 8 math traces. Functions include: filtering, +, -, x, Integration, Edge Count and Rotary Count. Basic arithmetic functions are performed using the ADSE (hardware) and results are displayed in real time.
Math trace example
Real-time analog/digital filtering
Real-time filtering 200 MHz and 20 MHz analog low pass filters and 8 MHz, 4 MHz, 2 MHz, 1 MHz, 500 kHz, 250 kHz, 125 kHz, 62.5 kHz, 32 kHz, 16 kHz and 8 kHz digital low pass filters are available for real-time filtering. These filters can be applied to live signals without slowing down the signal acquisition rate. Additional types of digital filtering are available using the math function.

Power Supply Analysis Function (/G4)
Parameter Measurements and Statistical Computations
for Power Supply For Example: Power and Power Factor
Simply select voltage and current channels in a dedicated setup menu to add power-specific parameters to the waveform parameters of the selected channels. See the specifications on the reverse side of this leaflet for the dedicated parameters (types) that are added. You can also calculate the Joule-integral (I²t) required for fuse characterization.
Statistical Computation and Trend Display of Cycle-by-Cycle Switching Loss
| For example, in a active power factor correction circuit running in critical conduction mode, fluctuations in the switching frequency and switching current of the modulating signal, relative to the input voltage of the commercial power supply, can be displayed simultaneously along with the input voltage waveform. The figure on the left shows data from multiple cycles of voltage (Vds), current (Id) and the computed switching loss (Vds x Id) (M1 waveform). Loss can be calculated for each cycle within a specified range of the M1 waveform (the Iteg TY parameter), and the integrated value can be quickly computed. The DL9000 also lets you view cycle-by-cycle switching loss in a list or as a trend line. Variations between power on and steady operation can easily be seen. |
 |
Measuring Switching Loss with HIstory Statistics
| With high speed acquisition (max. 2.5 million waveforms/sec.) and the history statistics function, you can compute statistical values and total loss of the switching loss waveforms across multiple intervals. By specifying a computation range, you can also compute the loss when switching ON and OFF, separately.
The number of history waveforms (Cnt = number of switching cycles) and their statistical computation results are displayed in the figure to the right. |
  |
| The difference in the current probe and voltage probe signal propagation time (skew) can be automatically corrected. This is useful for accurate measurement and computation of switching loss. A deskew correction signal source (model 701935, sold separately) is available. |  |
Dedicated Waveform Computations for Power Supply Analysis
| Quickly perform waveform computations of active power, impedance, and Joule-integral (I²t), and display the resulting waveforms. Simply select the desired function and source input channels from the menu to display the computed waveform. |  |
Harmonic Analysis of Power Supply Current Based on EN61000-3-2
User-Defined Computation (/G2)
(The power supply analysis function option (/G4) includes the user-defined math option (/G2).)
|
Four user-defined waveforms can be defined (MATH1-MATH4) and used simultaneously in computations. In addition to a wealth of computation functions, twenty-six measurement parameters can be used in the equations. For example, you can normalize data using the amplitude of a measurement parameter. Up to 6.25 MWords per channel can be computed. Math waveforms can also be used in X-Y graphs, FFT displays, histogram analysis, and other functions.

Reviews
Aerospace Company - Worker
That software was probably the best "off the shelf" MetCal software that I've tried and I sure appreciate it. I didn't have any issues with the software and its cost was great too (free)!!
Siliconix, Michael Wright
5 stars. Stand-outs for me: 1. The human interface is a real jewel, easy to find everything, responsive, excellent intuit zoom, far better than competitor L'. 2. Wide range of bandwidth limit set-point frequencies, not just full/150/20MHz, apparently done with DSP post-processing. 3. The trigger sub-system seems to require a full graticule of signal to trigger
