Modern maintenance engineers are dealing with far more than a flickering voltmeter or a rogue relay. With factories becoming smarter and systems growing more complex, traditional diagnostic tools just can’t keep up. That’s where the DL950 ScopeCorder from Yokogawa steps in—a multi-functional solution designed to replace multiple instruments with one highly capable unit.

From One-Dimensional to System-Level Thinking

As Michael from Yokogawa explains, many teams still rely on multimeters, oscilloscopes, or simple data recorders for diagnosing faults. While these tools are reliable, they typically capture a single data point—or a limited range of signals—at any one time. In a modern industrial setup, that’s like trying to understand a city by standing on one street corner.

The DL950 ScopeCorder changes the game by offering multi-channel, mixed-domain data capture. That includes:

  • Electrical signals like voltage and current
  • Physical parameters such as temperature, strain, and vibration
  • Full waveform logging at high and low sample speeds

It lets you zoom in when precision is needed and log efficiently for long-term monitoring—without ever switching tools.

High Complexity, Simple Diagnosis

Imagine trying to trace a system fault in a factory using five separate tools. Now imagine doing it from a single screen. That’s the value proposition of the DL950. It allows you to:

  • Capture events from across an installation simultaneously
  • Analyse how faults in one area propagate to others
  • Diagnose root causes without second-guessing what happened where

This is especially useful when a fault might not originate at the point of failure but elsewhere in the system—a common scenario in production environments.

Replace the Bench—Not Just the Meter

In many cases, teams are already collecting relevant data—they’re just doing it inefficiently, using a patchwork of legacy instruments. The DL950 consolidates all of that capability. It offers high channel counts and synchronisation options that go far beyond handhelds or entry-level scopes.

And because it can log data over long periods while maintaining detailed resolution during events, it gives maintenance teams fast insights and faster recovery—meaning reduced downtime and lower operational cost.

One Device, One Diagnosis, One Uptime

Whether you’re maintaining automated lines, diagnosing rotating machinery, or hunting hard-to-replicate faults, the DL950 ScopeCorder empowers your maintenance strategy with clarity and speed.

Diagnose faster. Restore operations sooner. Do it all with one device.
