7004 Digital Oscilloscopes DL4100 (700430) 38 220 427mm 15kg ( 15-11/16 8-11/16 16-7/8" 33.1 lbs) YOKOGAWA introduces a brand new digital oscilloscope with outstanding performance. The DL4100 / DL4200 are equipped with unique 10-bit, 100MS/s A/D converters in each channel. When compared with a conventional digital oscilloscope with 1K word record length and 8-bit A/D converters, the DL4100 / DL4200 give you 100 times better horizontal resolution and 4 times better vertical resolution.

ACCURACY MAKES THE DIFFERENCE IN MEASURE- MENT RELIABILITY Oscilloscopes in general have ±2 to 3% DC accuracy. This accuracy is based on the full scale setting of the voltage range and not on the input voltage. Let's assume that a square wave signal of 5V max with a 2.5V offset voltage is measured by a digital oscilloscope. Figure 1 on the right shows this signal as observed by the DL1200A at a 2V/div range. Since oscilloscopes have 8 divisions in vertical axis, full scale of the setting is 16V. The measured value in figure 1 has an error of ±3%, which in this case is equal to ±0.48V. If you calculate this error using the input as the basis, this is approximately 10% of the input voltage. The error will become bigger as the displayed amplitude become smaller against full scale. A SPLIT DISPLAY MODE GIVES HIGH ACCURACY MEASUREMENTS ON MULTIPLE CHANNELS You may tend to display waveforms with small amplitude if more than 2 channels are used as shown in Figure 1. The error based on the input signal becomes bigger as the displayed waveform amplitude becomes smaller against the full scale. The DL4100 / DL4200 support a split display mode. Figure 3 shows a 4-channel observation using the split display mode. In this mode, each area represents a full scale of the corresponding input. With the split display mode, you can observe multiple signals with full scale without overlapping the waveforms. Fig. 3 The Split Display Mode by The DL4100 Fig. 1 Signal Observation by The DL1200A TO ACHIEVE HIGH ACCURACY MEASUREMENTS, THE DL4100 / DL4200 HAVE ORIGINAL 100MS/S, 10-BIT A/D CONVERTERS An A/D converter is the key component of digital oscilloscopes. YOKOGAWA developed this A/D converter for the design of a general purpose, high accuracy digital oscilloscope. (Figure 2) The 100MS, 10-bit A/D converter incorporated in the DL4100 / DL4200 ensure ±1% DC accuracy. This accuracy has not been realized by 8-bit A/D converters. Fig. 2 Original 100MS, 10-bit A/D Converter AUTOMATIC SELF-CALIBRATION ENSURES HIGH ACCURACY MEASUREMENTS AT ALL TIMES Operational characteristics of electronic components are subject to change with operating temperature. Digital oscilloscopes execute self calibration at power on. However, the internal temperature continues to increase until it reaches a temperature equilibrium state. (approx. 30 min. after power on) To measure a signal with high accuracy, you need to execute self-calibration when the internal temperature changes. You also need to watch the external environmental temperature, because these changes also affect the internal temperature of the instrument. In short, to obtain reliable measurement results from a digital oscilloscope, you have to pay attention to the internal temperature of the instrument. The automatic self-calibration feature of the DL4100 / DL4200 execute self-calibration frequently until 30 minutes after power on and every 30 minutes afterwards. This autocalibration is initiated only when settings like Time/div are changed. Therefore, observation of a waveform is not disturbed. The self-calibration itself requires a couple of seconds, so you do not have to wait for a long time whenever it is executed.
RECORD LENGTH MAKES A SIGNIFICANT DIFFER- ENCE IN REPRESENTATION Figure 4 on the right shows an AM modulated signal captured by the DL4100 / DL4200. These picturtes show the same signal captured with different record lengths. With a 1K word record (far right), the waveform is distorted. With a 100K word record, the whole image is displayed without distortion (right). The DL4100 / DL4200 with 100K words per channel ensure a faithful representation of your signals. incoming signal Observed by a digital oscilloscope with fast update rate Captured with 100K words Fig. 5 Observed by a digital oscilloscope with slow update rate Effect of Display Update Rate on Singal Observation Fig. 4 Captured with 1K words AM Modulated Signal Observation A FAST DISPLAY UPDATE RATE REVEALS ABNORMAL SIGNALS You can not observe a continuous signal with an oscilloscope. Part of the signal is lost in the oscilloscope dead time. When an abnormality occurs during this dead time, an oscilloscope will not display it. Figure 5 shows the advantage that a fast update rate oscilloscope has over a slower update rate. This fast update rate not only means that you can monitor a signal fast, but also that you are much more likely to see an abnormality in a signal when it happens. Figure 6 shows the display update rate of the DL4100 / DL4200 in a given processing mode. It should be noted that unlike other digital oscilloscopes, the DL4100 / DL4200 process signals in each channel in parallel, so the display update rate is not be affected by the number of channels in use. The DL4100 / DL4200 show a faithful representation of your signal with a high speed update rate.

You had to obtain a plotter, connect it to the oscilloscope, plot out the display image and glue the output into the document (perhaps after adjusting the size with a copier ). Use of a FD drive or external MO drive connected by the SCSI interface (option) facilitates documentation. As shown in Figure 7, you can place a display image in a word processor document. The formats supported by the DL4100 / DL4200 and typical word processors that accept these formats are listed below. Supported format.

Fig. 7 The Display Image Incorporated in MS Word* Fig. Use of Lab View* STORE MEASUREMENT RESULTS IN HIGH CAPACITY MO When an experiment is carried out using large scale devices or in a remote location, you would like to obtain as much data as possible at the site and analyze the signals later. The SCSI interface option of the DL4100 / DL4200 are used to connect an MO drive of up to 230MB. If 100K word record length is used simultaneously on 4 channels of the DL4100 / DL4200, it takes more than 800K Byte to store one acquisition. With the 230MB MO drive, more than 200 acquisitions can be saved even if 100k word are used on every channel. In combination with the Save On Trigger function ( saving every acquisition into FD or MO ) and the MO drive, you can record a signal without human intervention over a long period of time. Furthermore, you can combine the automatic waveform judgement function (GO/NO-GO function) and MO drives. Until now, large volumes of data from an instrument were handled by using communication port like the GP-IB. With a MO drive, it is easy to handle large volumes of data. Fig. 10 FUNCTIONS Use of a Color Plotter VERSATILE TRIGGER FUNCTIONS EASE TROUBLE- SHOOTING Window trigger You define an upper and lower level threshold. The trigger occurs when the signal crosses one of the defined levels. Fluctuation of a load on electric devices can affect to voltage level. With the window trigger, you can trigger on voltage level fluctuations. Fig. 8 Use of a 230MB MO Drive INTEGRATE THE DL4100 / DL4200 INTO A SYSTEM OR OBTAIN HARD COPY PLOTS USING THE GP-IB When you want to configure a measurement system using a couple of instruments, or apply advance analysis functions, you can use measuring software like the Lab View* on the PC or EWS. (Figure ) When you would like to have a color plot of waveforms, you can use HPGL* compatible color plotters. (Figure 10) Window trigger definition Window trigger measurement example
Pattern trigger By assigning Low or High threshold levels for each input, you can trigger on a combination of signals. You can assign one signal as a clock source. OR trigger When one of the predefined edge trigger or window trigger conditions is satisfied, the trigger occurs.

A and B trigger conditions can be defined separately. The figure on the right is an example where the edge trigger is assigned as the A condition and the pattern trigger is assigned as the B condition. The trigger occurs when the B trigger condition is satisfied n times after the A trigger condition is satisfied. The following trigger can be used as the A or B trigger. Ch1 signal Ch2 signal Ch3 signal Ch4 signal A trigger is satisfied B trigger is satisfied time Pulse width trigger When a pulse width become narrower or wider than the defined width, a trigger occurs. By using the pulse width trigger, you can trigger on a glitch. TV trigger Triggering on NTSC, PAL, HDTV signals is accomplished by assigning a line number. ZOOM FUNCTION Data which has been captured in the long record length of the DL4100 / DL4200 can be magnified on the CRT (far right) or on the optional thermal print paper (right). You can see details of a captured waveform with the Zoom function.

FILTER/ AVERAGING The digital filter reduces the noise component of a signal and increases vertical resolution by 1 bit. For a repetitive signal, the averaging reduces the noise component and increases vertical resolution by up to 5 bits. SEQUENTIAL STORE FUNCTION [SINGLE(N)] 100K word record length of the DL4100 / DL4200 can be split into up to 100 segments. These segments can be used to record the changes of an incoming signal. 1st acquisition 2nd acquisition Nth acquisition Sequential Store Concept Before averaging ROLL MODE This mode becomes active when the Time/div is slow. When it is active, a signal is displayed on the CRT just as a recorder records a signal on its chart paper. Thanks to high speed processing, the mode is available even if the entire record of the 100K words is used. AUTOMATIC PARAMETER MEASUREMENT Waveform parameters can be measured automatically with this function. The DL4100 / DL4200 allow you to measure parameters of several signal sources simultaneously. (e.g. measuring max. voltage of Ch1 and Ch2 signals. ) After averaging GO/NO-GO FUNCTION The function automatically judges whether waveforms on the display conform to predefined conditions. Waveform zone or parameters can be used as the basis of the judgement. When the NO-GO condition is satisfied, the waveform can be printed by the optional printer or saved to FDD or SCSI devices. Control signals can be transmitted as well.
