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.
Motor efficiency is a critical measurements for electric vehicles as small improvements can result in increased range. Efficiency measurements require accurate synchronous measurments of power consumption with motor speed and torque.

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
