"I owe my career to T&M"
It’s not an exaggeration to say I owe a good bit of my career success to Yokogawa Test&Measurement. By using their ScopeCorders that combine the best parts of an oscilloscope and DAQ, projects that once took weeks across multiple instruments suddenly only took a few hours with just one instrument. The impact on what I could accomplish really was quite remarkable, and my ability to accurately complete projects in record time made me look incredible. No matter how complex or convoluted the task, the ScopeCorders never fail to easily handle anything I throw at them. They’re amazing instruments and I tell others about them every chance I get.

Example data acquisition using Yokogawa Test&Measurement GM10 and DL950
Modbus configuration file editor
High speed data acquisition up to 10 Gb
In combination with the 10 GbE option (C60 option) on the DL950 ScopeCorder and the IS8000 integrated test and measurement system, up to eight channels of data can be stored in real time on a PC at a sampling rate of up to 20 M samples per second.* Longer recording times are now possible for high-speed, multi-channel inputs such as gate signals and switching waveforms of multi-phase inverters.
* With 1 Gb Ethernet/USB connection, the maximum transfer rate is 6.4 MB/s (200 kS/s × 16 ch)
Multi-unit monitoring with time synchronization (SY1 option)
IS8000 and SY1 option enable accurate power and waveform data synchronization across multiple channels with minimal error. Data from the WT5000 power analyzer and DL950 ScopeCorder is time correlated with less than 10 us error using IEEE1588 technology.
Control and realtime remote monitoring
Yokogawa Test&Measurement's high-precision power analyzer, ScopeCorder, mixed signal oscilloscope, and modular data acquisition and logging system can be remotely operated, monitored, and configured from IS8000. Additional options and third-party high-speed cameras can also be controlled, greatly reducing the burden of operating and managing various instruments measuring power, physical phenomenon, video, and control signals.
FFT and math function (MH1 option)
Measure up to 16 FFT processes for a wealth of analysis functions to automatically calculate frequency and integrated value and filter processing.
Report generator (RP1 option)

*2 Power trend data saved by WT5000, WT3000, 1800/1800E series
Synchronization high-speed camera (FS1 option)
IS8000 synchronizes high speed camera images with related current, voltage, and control signals. Simultaneous slow motion playback allows visualization between design and results.
Optional software package for IEC harmonic and flicker compliance test
The IS8011/IS8012 optional software package is designed to perform harmonic and flicker tests in accordance with IEC61000-3-2, 3-3, 3-11 and 3-12 standards using the WT5000 precision power analyzer. Users can easily set the conditions and output the test report without any specialized knowledge. Users can make a pass/fail judgment by class A, B, C, and D of the harmonic current measurement values.
IEEE1588 Precision Time Protocol
IEEE 1588 is a standard for the Precision Time Protocol (PTP), a protocol for high-precision time synchronization of networked instruments and control systems. The PTP grandmaster server provides a reference clock for each client instrument to achieve high-precision clock synchronization. Since the ScopeCorder DL950 has the PTP master function, high precision clock synchronization of the corresponding instruments on the same network is possible even without a PTP grandmaster server. The IS8000 is also capable of combining the simultaneous measurement data of each of these PTP-synchronized instruments in the same window.
