ScopeCorder D950 Upgrade Brings Real-Time Maths, Multi-Tool Sync—and Yes, Feet

If you’re the kind of engineer who names your test equipment, the latest release from Yokogawa is going to be your new best mate. The ScopeCorder D950, the fourth generation of the platform, lands with a series of substantial upgrades that go well beyond performance—this one’s built for full-system correlation and lab practicality.

Channel Count Goes High—Really High

With redesigned input modules, the D950 offers more channels at higher sampling speeds. That means more sources, more fidelity, and more data in less time. If you’re pushing the boundaries of embedded systems or industrial applications, the D950’s capacity to handle it all simultaneously is a serious value add.

And if one isn’t enough, the D950 now includes new synchronisation features. You can link up to five ScopeCorders together, or even sync them with other tools like oscilloscopes or power analysers. This allows for cross-platform timestamp alignment, perfect for multi-domain analysis.

Real-Time Math, Real-Time Results

One of the standout additions is the inclusion of 16 real-time mathematical channels. Forget hours of offline post-processing—in this iteration, maths happens live. Not only does this reduce workflow bottlenecks, it opens the door to real-time triggering based on calculated results.

Triggering can now be set on these computed values, enabling engineers to isolate exact conditions across power, signal, and physical sensor domains. Whether you’re tracking thermal spikes, current surges, or logic state transitions, you’ll catch them as they happen.

The Fun Bit: Yes, It Has Feet

Yokogawa didn’t stop at performance. Responding to customer feedback, the D950 ships with what Michael charmingly calls “tail feet”—small, practical additions that improve desktop ergonomics and bring personality to your lab kit.

Sure, they’re not a technical feature—but they are a reminder that usability and joy can exist in precision engineering tools too.

A Test Tool Worth Naming

Between its channel scalability, synchronisation ecosystem, and live data handling, the D950 isn’t just an upgrade. It’s a platform for serious system design and testing. Whether it’s tackling automotive electrification or power-dense IoT, this ScopeCorder is ready for your most complex workloads—and might just deserve a name of its own.
