Japan-based Yokogawa Test & Measurement has introduced its 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 for automotive.
The SL2000 is a modular platform that combines the functions of a mixed signal oscilloscope and a data acquisition recorder. It is designed to capture fast signal transients and long-term trends.
Applications include electrical analysis and control signal evaluation, durability and reliability testing of components and vehicles requiring high sampling rates and multi-channel simultaneous measurement of analog signals and in-vehicle bus signals such as CAN and CAN FD, and simultaneous measurement and evaluation of temperature, vibration and other mechanical signals that change relatively slowly.
The SL2000 can be used separately or in combination with the DL950 ScopeCorder, depending on the application, to meet requirements to simultaneously measure multiple parameters and for the systemization of mechatronic measurements in product development. For example, in the development of motors for industrial and EV systems, the durability test requires a highly reliable measuring instrument and high sampling rates.
The unit has eight available slots and up to 32 channels, for which over 20 types of input modules are available to enable measurements of electrical signals, mechanical performance parameters indicated by sensors and decoded vehicle serial bus signals. Up to five SL2000 and DL950 units can be synchronized to increase the number of measurement channels.
The unit performs long-duration multi-channel measurements while precisely analyzing detailed waveform aspects. Its dual capture function can perform durability tests over long periods of time at speeds of up to 200 MS/s.
Using the IS8000 integrated software platform makes it easier to perform the long-term measurements required for durability testing, helping to improve the efficiency of product design and evaluation work. Isolation measurement technology ensures the noise resistance required for durability testing in harsh environments.
