DL9000 MSO SERIES

The DL9000 MSO models represent Yokogawa's third generation MSO, built upon the "Best in Test 2006" DL9000 platform. It contains the most hardware/acquisition, display, and analysis capabilities of any MSO. To address the increasing complexity of the embedded market, the DL9000 MSO models can simultaneously monitor four analog channels, thirty two logical inputs, the decoding of two independent serial bus protocols, and four real-time math traces. Furthermore, Yokogawa's advanced data stream engine (ADSE) ASIC guarantees the least dead time of any MSO under the same settings. With our exclusive "History Memory", the Yokogawa MSO is ideal for troubleshooting anomalies.

Features
Two primary challenges in developing a MSO are correlating samples between the logic and analog inputs, and maintaining waveform update rate (minimizing dead time) as various oscilloscope functions are enabled. The DL9000 MSO models are unsurpassed in these areas. Whereas logic hardware on many MSO’s are an afterthought, the DL9700/9500 is designed to always match sample rate and memory depth between the analog and logic channels. You can trust that signals are correlated, plus unrestricted 5GS/sec logic sample rate means the least amount of timing uncertainty. Unlike other vendors, the DL9000 MSO models' waveform update rate is unaffected when using logic channels.- Simultaneous measurement and analysis of 4 analog channels + 16/32-bit logic

High Speed Response
High-Speed Display and Updating at up to 2.5 Million waveforms/s and Megawords of Data from 4 Analog + 16/32-bit Logic Inputs with the least compromise.
You need a fast waveform update rate to maximize your chance of catching that infrequent waveform variation. You also need an oscilloscope that doesn’t become sluggish and unresponsive with processor intensive functions or deep memory enabled. Yokogawa’s Advanced Data Stream Engine (ADSE) is unmatched in this area. Logic channel inputs, and even bus display mode, won’t affect the update rate, giving you the best possible real time display and analysis of mixed signal waveforms.
Maximum update rate:

25,000 waveforms/sec (2.5kW, Normal Trigger Mode)
2,500,000 waveforms/sec (2.5kW, N Single Trigger Mode)
Maximum update rate in math mode:
60 waveforms/sec (1 MW, when performing channel addition)
12 waveforms/sec (5 MW, when performing channel addition)
Maximum update rate in parameter measurement mode:
60 waveforms/sec (1 MW, when measuring a channel’s maximum value)
16 waveforms/sec (5 MW, when measuring a channel’s maximum value)
Note: The above rates can vary depending on the oscilloscope settings.
4ch Analog & 32/16-bit Logic Signal Analysis
Debugging mixed signal circuits requires an expanded set of capabilities beyond what a general oscilloscope or logic analyzer can offer alone. DL9000 series MSO models offer convenient, innovative functions for display and analysis of mixed signal characteristics. and assists with measurement and debugging of analog/digital mixed signals.

State display and bus display functions are typically found in logic analyzers. DL9000 Series MSO Models support these types of logic signal display and analysis functions, and helps increase efficiency in the coordinated analysis of analog and logic signals. Moreover, when performing these analysis and display functions on DL9000 Series MSO Models, the screen display update rate is not compromised.
History Memory Function
Other oscilloscopes show you digitally persisted acquisitions in just one display layer. What if there is a signal buried within the “fuzz” you would like to separate? With the DL9000, not only can you toggle digital persistence (accumulation) on or off, Yokogawa’s unique “history memory” also allows you to separate and view previously acquired data individually.

High-speed screen updating alone does not allow users to take full advantage of the digital oscilloscope. Rather, the ability to redisplay and analyze individual waveforms unleashes the digital oscilloscope's full potential.
Functions
Waveform Acquisition - Numerous Triggers
With DL9000 Series MSO Models, you not only have access to the existing DL9000 series of powerful trigger functions, but you can also set trigger conditions using a logic signal as the source. You can restrict capture to the desired signals by combining various trigger conditions, thus reducing evaluation times and speeding up troubleshooting.
DL9000 Series MSO Models' Trigger Functions

Examples of Trigger Application
- Trigger-based gating - Edge (Qualified): conditional trigger
The valid/invalid state of an edge trigger or pulse width trigger can be controlled according to the conditions of any other channel’s state (high/low).
- Setup time trigger / Hold time trigger
To derive setup time/hold time conditions, event delay/event sequence triggers are set as shown in the following figure.
Waveform Display - Groups and Mapping
DL9000 Series MSO Models allow you to assign 32-bit logic signals to up to five groups.There is no limit to the number of bits allowed in each group. For example, you can assign all 32 bits to a single group.
Groups are assigned using a graphical interface for flexible and easy settings.
For example, even in cases such as where a reconfigurable device's pin assignments have been changed, you can make the corresponding adjustments simply by changing the mapping of the groups.
Analysis such as bus display, state display, and DA conversion can be executed on a group-by-group basis.


Search & Zoom
Even if waveforms are displayed at high speed and held in the oscilloscope's acquisition memory, it does not help if it then takes time for the user to find the desired phenomena. Functions for searching and zooming acquired waveform data are key to increasing engineering efficiency.
DL9000 Series MSO Models include powerful functions for searching the memory for desired waveforms, and zoom functions for observing these waveforms in detail. In addition to searching based on criteria such as signal edge, pulse, and multichannel state, you can search the history memory by waveform patterns and waveform parameters. You can quickly find the desired waveform data in the memory, enlarge the area with the zoom function, and scroll the data. These processes are carried out by the hardware at high speeds, eliminating wasteful wait times after operating the oscilloscope.
Dual-window Zoom function simultaneously zooms in on two areas

A variety of search functions
DL9000 Series MSO Models have a variety of waveform search functions, enabling you to detect abnormal signals or find specific serial or parallel data patterns. Data search types include:
- State search (based on high/low states of one or more channels)
- Serial pattern search (I²C/SPI/CAN/general-purpose pattern)
- Zone search
- Waveform window search
- Waveform parameter search (measured parameters, FFT, etc.)

Waveform Analysis - Serial Bus Analysis (I2C, SPI, CAN*, LIN)
DL9000 Series MSO Models can perform I²C, SPI, LIN and CAN bus analysis with the different available options (/F5, /F7 and /F8).Triggers for these bus types are standard features. These functions make it easy to discriminate between partial software failures and physical-layer waveform problems when troubleshooting systems by observing the physical-layer characteristics of signals.
Also, I²C, SPI and LIN bus analysis of logic signals are available, allowing you to simultaneously perform protocol analysis of the various buses using logic input channels, and signal analysis using 4 analog channels.
- Serial data bus trigger functions
A wide range of trigger conditions can be set, including triggers based on ID-Data combinations and combinations of a serial bus trigger and a regular edge trigger.
- Real-time bus analysis-up to 15 updates/sec - DL9000 Series MSO Models display protocol analysis results while bus signals are being captured.
- Simultaneous analysis of different buses
With the Dual-window Zoom function, DL9000 Series MSO Models can simultaneously analyze and display the waveform of buses running at different speeds.
- Decode Display
Analysis results of analog input channels can be displayed not only in a list, but also shown as a decode next to the waveform.
Logic Waveform Analysis - ”Virtual D/A” Function
Digital to Analog conversion of logic signals can be performed on a group-by-group basis. This is an invaluable tool for evaluating A/D and D/A converters along with their surrounding circuits. For even faster debugging, use it together with waveform analysis functions such as the histogram function.Even evaluations normally requiring computation programs on the PC can be executed quickly and easily using the powerful computation built-in functions of DL9000 Series MSO Models.

Automated measurement of waveform parameters
|
|
||
| You can automatically measure waveform parameters, including max.,
min., peak-peak, pulse width, period, frequency, rise time, fall time,
and duty ratio. |
Time domain waveform parameters such as pulse width, interval, and
delay can be measured automatically for logic signals as well. |
Waveform parameters can be calculated repeatedly every screen or period, and the statistical results (mean, maximum, minimum, standard deviation, etc.) of the waveform parameters can be displayed. Automated measurement of waveform parameters and statistical computations can also be performed on waveform data in history memory.
