Functional Features:
- 128 simultaneous channels at high sampling rates — captures complex multi-signal events
- 60 MHz bandwidth captures fast transients in power electronics and automotive systems
- 12-bit resolution provides high dynamic range for precision measurements
- Built-in FFT analysis with multiple window functions for frequency domain analysis
- Protocol decode: I2C, SPI, UART, CAN, LIN, SENT, FlexRay — decodes serial bus data and overlays on waveforms
- History function: Stores up to 20,000 waveforms in ring buffer for post-trigger capture
- Zoom and pan: Real-time waveform zoom with cursor measurements
- Gated sampling: High-resolution capture of repetitive signals using gate pulses
- ISO16750 compliant: Suitable for automotive EMC and environmental testing
Working Principle:
The DL9710L uses high-speed 12-bit ADCs with a multiplexed architecture that samples all channels simultaneously (not sequentially). The sampled data is stored in a high-speed circular buffer (DDR SDRAM) and then transferred to the internal SSD for long-term recording. The FPGA-based trigger system evaluates trigger conditions in real-time with sub-nanosecond timing resolution. The 10.4-inch TFT display is driven by a dedicated graphics processor for smooth waveform rendering at 100 MS/s. Communication uses LXI (LAN eXtensions for Instrumentation) over Gigabit Ethernet for remote control and data transfer.
Advantages and Highlights:
- 100 MS/s sampling rate with 128 channels — industry-leading simultaneous channel count at high speed
- 60 MHz bandwidth captures fast power electronics switching transients
- Built-in protocol decode eliminates need for separate protocol analyzers
- 16 M points memory depth captures long-duration events at high resolution
- LXI compliant — remote control via standard Ethernet from any PC
- Rack-mount and portable — suitable for lab and field use
- ISO16750 compliant — automotive-grade robustness
Applicable Industries:
- Automotive (EV/HEV powertrain, ADAS, EMC testing)
- Power Electronics (inverters, converters, motor drives)
- Aerospace and Defense
- R&D Laboratories
- Renewable Energy (solar inverters, wind turbine converters)
- Industrial Automation (high-speed machine diagnostics)
Installation Requirements:
- Rack-mount in a standard 19-inch rack (3U height) using supplied rack ears
- Ensure adequate ventilation — minimum 100mm clearance above and below the unit
- Connect AC power to 100-240 V, 50/60 Hz with proper grounding
- Use shielded BNC or SMA cables for all signal inputs
- For remote control, connect Gigabit Ethernet to a network with LXI discovery enabled
- Install optional GPIB or RS-232C modules for legacy system integration
Usage Precautions:
- Do not exceed ±40V (DC + peak AC) on any input channel — risk of permanent damage
- Use 50Ω termination when measuring high-frequency signals (>10 MHz) to prevent reflections
- Ensure proper grounding of all input signal sources to avoid ground loops
- Do not block ventilation slots — the unit requires active cooling
- Use antistatic precautions when handling the internal SSD
- Perform calibration annually using Yokogawa-approved calibration equipment
- Do not operate in environments with excessive vibration (>2g RMS) or condensing humidity
