okogawa Test & Measurement has introduced an integrated software platform that synchronizes data from several test instruments on one screen,
giving a clearer picture of the timing of control signals and switching events and how products react to them.
The Yokogawa IS8000 Integrated Measurement software platform helps develop sophisticated products such as motor inverters, which often need several instruments to capture all test data. Oscilloscopes offer high sample speed and in-depth views of waveforms, Yokogawa’s ScopeCorder can display many high-resolution signals, while power analyzers provide high accuracy. However, getting these instruments to work together is difficult.
The IS8000 software platform integrates the timing, control, and data collection from several instruments using an IEEE1588 PTP protocol, USB or Ethernet. The IS8000 simultaneously provides both the precise power analysis and the accurate waveform. Instruments working together ensure coherent measurements, making it easier to debug and analyze data on a single display and to share it easily.
Optional software packages offer more in-depth data analysis as users’ needs evolve. Uses for the IS8000 include testing of motors and inverters for products such as vehicles, elevators and air conditioners. To capture rapidly changing waveforms, IS8000 can work with Yokogawa’s DL950 ScopeCorder to store up to eight channels of data on a PC at up to 10 MS/s, through the
10 Gigabit Ethernet. Longer recording times are now possible for inputs such as gate signals and switching waveforms of multi-phase inverters.
IS8000 can be used to remotely operate Yokogawa’s high-precision power analyzer, high-speed recorder and oscilloscope. High-speed cameras can also be controlled, allowing users to combine instruments for measuring power, physical phenomena, video, and control signals.
The software can run up to 16 independent FFT processes for calculating frequency and integrated value and filter processing. Customized reports can be generated using measurement data and waveforms. An IS8011/IS8012 software package is available, allowing harmonic and flicker tests to be performed in accordance with IEC61000-3-2, 3-3, 3-11 and 3-12 standards using the WT5000 precision power analyzer. Users can easily set the conditions and output the test report.
Another application is motion analysis using video and sensor signals of processes such as combustion, cutting and vibration. Some mechanical motions are dependent on electrical signals and both video and signal waveforms may be needed to adjust all machine parameters.
The IS8000 synchronizes with each instrument at any point in time, allowing physical events to be matched to waveform timings. “Using IS8000, it is much easier to bring together a host of measurements from different instruments”, says Terry Marrinan, Yokogawa’s Vice President, Marketing. Test & Measurement.
“Corelating the timing of waveform displays from different sources gives a far more accurate picture of the behaviour of complex systems and will make development of new products much quicker and easier.” For further information on the IS8000 integrated measurement software please click here.
