High-speed data acquisition unit meets the latest evaluation and test needs

Yokogawa Test & Measurement Corporation has released the SL2000 High-Speed Data Acquisition Unit, a ScopeCorder series product with a wide range of data logging functionalities for evaluation and test applications, including high-speed sampling and analysis. The device is a modular platform that combines the functions of a mixed-signal oscilloscope and a data acquisition recorder, designed to capture fast signal transients and long-term trends. It is suited to applications such as R&D, validation, and troubleshooting.

The device can be used separately or in combination with the DL950 ScopeCorder, depending on the application. No other product family on the market delivers this level of flexibility in handling multi-channel measurements. With the ScopeCorder product family, the company offers a comprehensive solution for the high-precision mechatronics and electric power markets, contributing to the advancement and development of new technologies and applications.

In the four years since the DL950 ScopeCorder was introduced to the market by the company, significant technical advances have been made in EV, renewable energy, and other industrial fields. Today, there is an ever-greater requirement for the capability to measure multiple parameters simultaneously and for the systemisation of mechatronic measurements in product development. For example, in the development of motors for industrial and EV systems, one essential test for checking and improving a product is the durability test. This test takes a considerable amount of time to complete and needs a highly reliable measuring instrument with high sampling rates.

Applications include:

• Durability and reliability testing of components and vehicles that requires high sampling rates and multi-channel simultaneous measurement of analog signals and in-vehicle bus signals such as CAN and CAN FD.
• Simultaneous measurement and evaluation of temperature, vibration, and other mechanical signals that change relatively slowly, as well as mechatronic and other such high-speed control signals.
• Electrical analysis and control signal evaluation.
