As electronic designs push further into domains of higher speed, tighter integration, and greater efficiency, oscilloscopes have become more than measurement tools—they are central to the engineering workflow. At Yokogawa, we view oscilloscopes as precision engines that drive innovation, enabling deeper insight into circuits that power the next generation of technology.

Modern engineering challenges—from wide-bandgap power conversion to high-density embedded systems—demand oscilloscopes with exceptional accuracy, stability, and long-duration visibility. This is where Yokogawa’s measurement philosophy stands apart. Our portfolio is engineered not only for performance, but for sustained signal integrity that engineers can trust.

At the forefront is the DL950 ScopeCorder, Yokogawa’s flagship mixed-signal platform designed for applications requiring synchronized high-speed transients and long-duration recording. Its ability to capture up to 16 channels at 200 MS/s with bandwidth of 40MHz. DL950 ScopeCorder is compatible with 21 types of modules making it possible for Input measurement signal types (Voltage, Current, Temperature, Strain, CAN, LIN, and more), Application driven analysis options like Motor dq, Power and Harmonic analysis etc.. making it an indispensable tool particularly in EV powertrains, inverter design, and mechatronics. DL350 is portable and Battery operated for field applications whereas SL2000 is faceless version of Scopecorder suitable for ATE Systems.

For high-precision waveform observation, the DLM5000HD and DLM3000HD Series delivers unmatched clarity with 12-bit ADC resolution, enabling engineers to detect subtle waveform anomalies that conventional 8-bit scopes may miss. This enhanced resolution becomes crucial when analyzing sensitive analog front ends, power integrity issues, and transient behaviors in high-speed digital circuits.

Complementing this is the compact yet powerful series of 8-bit oscilloscopes DLM3000 and DLM5000 Series, engineered for day-to-day design verification and troubleshooting. With bandwidth options up to 500 MHz, deep memory, and intuitive triggering features, it provides engineers with a reliable workhorse for debugging embedded designs, mixed-signal interfaces, and new-generation control circuits.

In domains where power analysis and circuit characterization converge, Yokogawa oscilloscopes integrate seamlessly with Yokogawa power analyzers to provide time-synchronized measurement insights, allowing engineers to correlate waveform behavior with efficiency, losses, and switching characteristics—critical for SiC and GaN based power electronics.

As industries accelerate toward intelligent mobility, renewable energy systems, advanced automation, and high-speed communications, the demands placed on oscilloscopes will only intensify. Yokogawa remains committed to meeting these challenges by advancing measurement accuracy, enhancing multi-domain visibility, and delivering instruments that withstand the rigorous needs of modern engineering.

With platforms such as the ScopeCorder (DL950, SL2000, DL350 Models) , High-definition oscilloscopes (DLM5000HD, DLM3000HD ) and Conventional oscilloscopes (DLM5000 and DLM3000) , Yokogawa continues to empower engineers with the clarity, depth, and precision required for next-generation circuit analysis—helping transform visionary designs into real-world performance.
