Yokogawa SL1000 High Channel Count ScopeCorder

The Yokogawa SL1000 is a modular, high-channel count data acquisition system that combines oscilloscope and data logger functionality into a single platform. It captures simultaneous transient events at high speed while maintaining long-term trend monitoring capability, eliminating traditional compromises between digitizer performance and PC-based flexibility. With isolated channels, multiple independent sample rates, and extensive plug-in module support, the SL1000 addresses demanding measurement requirements in automotive, power electronics, and mechatronics applications.
