DL350 Portable ScopeCorder
The DL350 Portable ScopeCorder combines all the measurement and recording capabilities you need when you are away from your office or lab - all in one compact instrument.
Featuring a resistive touch screen, the DL350 provides the flexibility you need when you need it. Whether you are recording high-speed transients or long-term signals, using “quick and simple” setup or advanced features, the DL350 makes complete measurements completely portable.
Transient recording and complete data measurement in one compact solution
As the portable instrument in Yokogawa’s ScopeCorder family, the DL350 offers:
Portability
- A4-sized compact chassis
- Battery power for 3.5 hours
- Resistive touch screen
- Memory recorder mode for easy data logging setup
Mobility
- GPS recording: longitude, latitude, velocity, and more
- Designed for vehicle testing
- Records to SD cards
Modularity
- Compatible with 19 different input modules
- Up to 8 channels analog inputs
- Up to 100 MS/s sampling rate
- Up to 16-bit analog resolution
Flexible and swappable input modules with built-in signal conditioning
Choose from 20 types of input modules and install up to 2 in the DL350 Portable ScopeCorder at a time to capture up to 32 channels plus 16 built-in channels of digital input. Input types include:
- Voltage & Currents
- Sensor Outputs
- Temperature, Vibration/Acceleration, Strain, Frequency
- Logic Signals & CAN / CAN FD / LIN and SENT
Use it like a data acquisition system or a long memory oscilloscope
Up to 20 Gpoints* of data per module can be recorded directly to an SD card. This means that the DL350 can be used for continuous recording for up to 50 days. For high speed signals, up to 100 M points per module of internal memory is available to capture fast transients. This is up to 10,000 times more than other portable oscilloscopes or test tools and thus signals can be captured with higher sample rates or for much longer periods.
* The firmware version 1.20 or later is required.
Verify power line quality using harmonic, power or FFT analysis
The power in single- and 3-phase systems can be evaluated. Additionally for fundamental waveforms of 50 or 60 Hz, up to 40 harmonic orders can be analyzed. Alternatively use the suite of FFT functions to perform full frequency analysis.

Environmental features for portability
Vibration resistant
Instruments used for in-vehicle driving tests or field maintenance must be able to make reliable measurements. The DL350 has an aluminum inner frame and an external rubber bumper and conforms to the Japanese JIS D1601 standard for resisting in-vehicle shock and vibration.
Wide Temperature Range
Even when used with the rechargeable battery, the DL350 will operate in temperatures from 0 to 45 degrees. The DL350 brings high-quality laboratory measurements into the harsh environments of the field.
A wealth of triggers for fault finding
The user has a choice of a simple level trigger or can use enhanced triggers such as pulse width, waveform period and triggers across multiple channels. For example, the wave window trigger is ideal for AC power line monitoring which enables voltage sags, surges, spikes, phase shifts or drop outs to be easily captured (available for 40 to 1,000 Hz waveforms).
Leave a DL350 unattended and automatically save the waveform to a file or send a notification email if and when it triggers.
Vehicle Edition
The ScopeCorder Vehicle Edition is designed for engineers working in the automotive and railway industry, providing a thorough insight into the dynamic behavior of the electromechanical system. This integrated approach results in considerable time saving compared to using multiple separate instruments.

In-vehicle Testing
CAN/CAN FD bus, LIN bus and SENT monitoring
Use the DL350 with /VE option and bus monitor module to decode CAN/CAN FD bus, LIN bus or SENT signals and display information such as engine temperature, vehicle speed and brake pedal position as trend waveforms and compare this with the analog data coming from the actual sensors. This enables automotive engineers to gain an insight into the dynamic behavior of the complete electromechanical system.
Memory recorder mode simplifies data recording for maintenance and monitoring tasks.
The DL350 offers a choice of operating modes, including recorder mode, which makes it easier than ever to set up long-term data recordings. Choose Easy Setup, and the setup wizard quickly guides the operator through the entire setup process. Just select the desired channels, recording duration, and sampling interval, and press Start!
Choosing Easy Setup opens a guided, three-step process to begin recording for up to 50 days.
Use the touchscreen during recording to scroll across the entire data set.
Long-Term Temperature Monitoring
Using the DL350 Memory Recorder Mode Easy Setup, combined with a 16-channel thermocouple input, it's easy to record hours, days, or weeks of data with a few simple settings.

How can I capture data from motion sensors synchronized with other analog data? The Yokogawa ScopeCorder series of instruments feature input modules and functions to make this possible.
Testing actuation of a side impact airbag to measure the optimal timing.
Designing an instrumentation system for high current measurement requires careful consideration of the trade-offs associated with each type of sensing device. The purpose of this application note is to help engineers understand the sensing choices available and the corresponding trade-offs with each technology.
The objective of this paper is to show the close relationship between efficiency and power quality, and provide education on the causes of power quality, types of power quality issues, and provide guidance on measurement considerations.
The DLM series oscilloscopes (DLM5000HD, DLM5000, and DLM3000) and ScopeCorders (DL950, DL350) provide the CAN Bus symbolic decode analysis function. For DLM series, an overlay function displays the CAN packet structure directly below the time domain waveform.
As a respected pioneer in folding bikes, Brompton’s first foldable e-bikes was eagerly anticipated. However, to develop such high-performance e-bikes engineers at Brompton needed to perform comprehensive dynamic testing to achieve rider – bike harmony.
As a one of the largest motorcycle manufacturers, Triumph confirms every bike is precision-engineered to deliver a complete riding experience. To ensure higher performance and efficiency of the motorcycle powertrain, Triumph test their engines under rigorous conditions, measuring and analyzing a vast array of parameters under varying conditions, from sensors configured and positioned all around a bike.
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. —Kenneth Shoemaker, Automotive Industry Consultant/Owner at Panama Prototypes

You know the basics of electrical power measurements, have set up your dyno, and made key measurements – which is great. But as your motor and drive projects progress, the complexities of system drive requirements can change frequently. Control algorithms, networked communications, and mechanical systems form a complex web of interactions that need sorting. This 60-minute webinar explains how to get past ground-level measurements and delve into comprehensive solutions that leverage test and measurement instruments including power analyzers, high-speed data acquisition, and real-time software.
Topics include:
The technical presentation includes an audience Q&A.
Why should you be concerned with your product’s power system voltage and current harmonics? From an engineering perspective, harmonics produce excessive heat in equipment that causes significant damage and results in inefficient operation. From a business perspective, compliance is an absolute requirement for entry into global markets. To minimize or eliminate these issues and establish acceptable levels of harmonics, numerous power quality standards with specifications and limits for harmonic distortion, such as IEEE 519-2014 and IEC61000-3-2, have been introduced. During this webinar, attendees will gain knowledge on the inner workings of harmonics, learn best practices for accurately measuring harmonics, learn to recognize and distinguish the critical difference between DFT and FFT, and discover important measurement tradeoffs across various test equipment.
