IS8000 Integrated Software Platform

The Power of One

The IS8000 software platform is an integrated solution that accelerates engineering workflow. It is a revolutionary software solution that tightly integrates the timing, control, and data collection from multiple instruments, creating a comprehensive measurement suite that delivers high confidence, efficiency, and unity.

High speed data acquisition up to 10 Gb

In combination with the 10 GbE option (C60 option) on the DL950 and the IS8000, up to 8 channels of data can be stored in real time on a PC at a sampling rate of up to 20 M samples per seconds.*

Longer recording times are now possible for high-speed, multi-channel inputs such as gate signals and switching waveforms of multi-phase inverters.

 

Multi-unit monitoring with time synchronization (SY1 option)

IS8000 and SY1 option enable accurate power and waveform data synchronization across multiple channels with minimal error. Data from the WT5000 power analyzer and DL950 ScopeCorder is time correlated with less than 10 us error using IEEE1588 technology.

Control and realtime remote monitoring

YOKOGAWA’s high-precision power analyzer, ScopeCorder and oscilloscope can be remotely operated, monitored and configured from IS8000. Additional options, third-party high-speed cameras can also be controlled, greatly reducing the burden of operating and managing various instruments measuring power, physical phenomenon, video, and control signals.

FFT and math function (MH1 option)

Measure up to 16 FFT processes for a wealth of analysis functions for automatic calculation of frequency and integrated value and filter processing.

Report generator (RP1 option)

Customized reports are easily created by dragging and dropping measurement data, waveforms, graphs, etc. onto the sheet.

File import and export

The IS8000 supports binary, ASCII, and the MDF format, a very common format for the automotive industry. Power and waveform data on the IS8000 can be shared with your development system or third-party software.

Synchronization high-speed camera (FS1 option)

IS8000 synchronizes high speed camera images with related current, voltage, and control signals. Simultaneous slow motion playback allows visualization between design and results.
In addition, video files captured by other than high-speed camera and waveform files can be synchronized offline for display and analysis.

IEEE1588 Precision Time Protocol

IEEE 1588 is a standard for the Precision Time Protocol (PTP), a protocol for high-precision time synchronization of networked instruments and control systems. The PTP grandmaster server provides a reference clock for each client instrument to achieve high-precision clock synchronization. Since the ScopeCorder DL950 has the PTP master function, high precision clock synchronization of the corresponding instruments on the same network is possible even without a PTP grandmaster server. The IS8000 is also capable of combining the simultaneous measurement data of each of these PTP-synchronized instruments in the same window.

Serial Bus Analysis（SB1）

This is an analysis function for CAN bus communication widely used in in-vehicle networks and other applications. It enables decoding of communication contents, frame display, and search for specific information in CAN bus communication signal. This new serial bus analysis option can also be used to analyze signal waveforms acquired not only by Yokogawa's oscilloscopes but also by the ScopeCorder series and IS8000. It is effective for reanalysis of communication signal waveforms previously measured, and for comparison and analysis with other physical quantity measurements.

Modbus/TCP Communication（MB1）

Modbus/TCP communication. A communication configuration file for connection to the YOKOGAWA GM10 and VZ20X recorders is included with the software. Other Modbus/TCP communication devices can also be connected to the IS8000 by creating a communication configuration file using the included tool. Integration of these devices with a Yokogawa Test & Measurement’s power analyzer and waveform measuring instrument by the IS8000 will provide a measurement system that supports more input channels, longer recording times and a wider variety of temperature sensors.
