By adding modules to our WE7000 station such as the 1 MS/s Isolation Digitizer module, the temperature module, the strain module, and the D/A module that allows us send command output to the test bench, we've got all the functionality that we need for our testing and evaluation setup. In particular, being able to control all the measurement modules from a PC has really helped us become more efficient and accurate during evaluations and measurements.
Also, by saving data from several WE7000s on the Ethernet, we can share data, and even perform GO/NO-GO determinations that we used to have to perform offline. These are additional factors that improved our efficiency. In the future I think we'll also want to get more into real time measurements.
Currently diesel engines are facing big hurdles, and strict emission regulations have been imposed one after another not just in Japan but all over the world (especially in Europe and the US). Common rail systems will be key to be able to achieve environmentally-friendly yet high-performance engines, and it will become more and more important to be able to exert fine control over the injector and increase the injection pressure. I'm counting on Yokogawa to continue to meet these injector system requirements with WE7000 series instruments.
Bosch also uses the DL716 ScopeCorder.
