The Power of One
Engineering groups face challenges like time synchronization issues and incompatible reporting when working with multiple instrumentation systems and data file formats, resulting in long hours, missed deadlines, and blown budgets. Instead of constantly battling these issues, why not unify your instrumentation, software, and data across your engineering teams? With The Power of One, you can.
The Power of One is not a single software package or instrument. It’s what happens when precision-focused hardware and software converge and enable engineering groups to streamline processes and work together cohesively.
In the product development cycle, what a work group is willing to compromise to “just get the job done” differs by stage. Each group purchases instruments based on their particular wants, often without consideration for the other groups in the organization.
What matters most to each engineering group varies when selecting hardware and software.
This short-term thinking results in equipment and software that only "sort of" work with each other, leading to issues like:
- Difficulty finding measurement correlations due to no time synchronization
- Limited data sharing, manually combining data, and having to learn multiple software types
- Higher test costs, product quality issues, and increased time-to-market because of no interoperability
With only so much time and money, something usually has to give. But it doesn’t have to be that way.
When engineering work groups unify processes and measurement data from different sources using The Power of One, they accelerate workflow to seemlessly progress from design through validation and through to production. This is all possible through IS8000, an integrated and comprehensive test and measurement software platform that incorporates IEEE-1588 timing hardware and tightly integrates timing, control, and data collection from multiple instruments.
IEEE-1588 PTP Synchronization

High-Speed Camera
- IS8000 synchronizes high-speed camera images with related current, voltage, and control signals
- Simultaneous slow motion playback allows visualization between design and results
- Ties the mechanical to the electrical
FFT and Math
- Measure up to 16 FFT processes
- Multiple analysis functions for automatic calculation of frequency and integrated value and filter processing
- Leverage user-defined equations for complex computations, minimizing post-processing
Harmonic/Flicker Analysis Software
- Perform harmonic and flicker tests in accordance with IEC61000-3-2, 3-3, 3-11, and 3-12 standards
- Easily set conditions and output test reports without and specialized knowledge
Data Acquisition
- Low-speed DAQ: Modbus/TCP communication configuration
- High-speed DAQ: 10-Gigabit Ethernet, longer recording times at higher speeds, multi-channel inputs (gate signals, multi-phase inverter waveform switching), stream < 8 channels at 10MS/s, < 16 channels at 5MS/s
