New, compact GHz digital scope
YOKOGAWA Australia has released the DL9000 compact digital oscilloscope. Capable of achieving a maximum sampling rate of 10 gigasamples per second at bandwidths of 1-1.5GHz, the DL9000 is Yokogawa's first GHz-bandwidth digital oscilloscope.
Yokogawa's compact DL9000 oscilloscope.
The unit features an Advanced Data Stream Engine (ADSE), a waveform data processor developed by Yokogawa that enables the accurate acquisition of high-speed, GHz bandwidth signals for screen display.
In the fastest waveform acquisition mode, up to 1600 partitions can be created in acquisition memory, dead time can be reduced to 400ns and a maximum of 2.5m waveforms per second can be acquired by each of four channels.
In accumulation mode, the acquisition rate is 25,000 waveforms per second per channel. Of those 25,000 waveforms, the last 2,000 can be recorded in history memory.
When an abnormal signal occurs, these features enable the verification of acquired data for individual waveforms, the display and examination of the correlations between data from channels and the measurement of waveform parameters.
The new DL9000 is fitted with an 8.4” colour LCD (XGA: 1024×768 pixels) and acquired signal waveforms can be accumulated and displayed by intensity level according to the frequency of abnormal phenomena. This screen display also gives an indication of frequency and S/N ratio of noise and fluctuations.
Smaller and cheaper than any other GHz-bandwidth digital oscilloscopes currently available, the latest addition to the Yokogawa test and measurement product range also features a 2.5GHz bandwidth active probe for accurate probing of high speed signals.
In keeping with the unit's overall philosophy, high-density mounting technology and a dedicated IC make the probe compact and light.
A spring contact installed at the tip of the probe facilitates the probing of signals from high-density mounted circuits.
