With the rapid technical advances being seen in the electric vehicle (EV), renewable energy, and other industrial fields there is an ever-greater requirement for the capability to simultaneously measure multiple parameters and for the systemization of mechatronic measurements in product development.
The SL2000 is a modular platform that combines the functions of a mixed signal oscilloscope and a data acquisition recorder and has been designed to capture fast signal transients and long-term trends. It is suitable for applications such as R&D, validation, and troubleshooting.
The SL2000 can be used separately or in combination with the DL950 ScopeCorder, depending on the application. It provides much greater levels of flexibility in handling multi-channel measurements and is a multifaceted, total solution for the high-precision mechatronics and electric power markets.
Main features include:
Enabling both high-speed sampling and multi-channel measurement
The SL2000 performs long-duration multi-channel measurements while precisely analysing detailed aspects of waveforms. With its dual capture function, the SL2000 can perform measurements over long periods of time at speeds of up to 200 MS/s. And in situations where post-processing is required on a PC following measurement, the main unit can continue to perform measurements and has a function that allows calculations to be performed in real time.
By using the integrated measurement software IS8000, it is easier to perform the long-term measurements required for durability testing, helping to improve the efficiency of product design and evaluation work. In addition, isolation measurement technology ensures the noise resistance required for durability testing in harsh environments.
Supporting simultaneous measurement of a wide variety of devices
The SL2000 has eight available slots (with up to 32 channels), for which over 20 types of input modules are available to enable measurements of electrical signals, mechanical performance parameters indicated by sensors, and decoded vehicle serial bus signals. To increase the number of measurement channels, up to five SL2000 and DL950 units can be synchronized.
Among key target markets for the SL2000 are:
- Transportation (automotive, rail, aviation, etc.)
- Power and energy (renewable energy, smart cities/homes, data centres, etc.)
- Mechatronics, including industrial robots and motors
The SL2000 can be used for durability and reliability testing of components and vehicles that requires high sampling rates and multi-channel simultaneous measurement of analogue signals and in-vehicle bus signals such as CAN and CAN FD; simultaneous measurement and evaluation of temperature, vibration, and other mechanical signals that change relatively slowly as well as mechatronic and other such high-speed control signals, as well as electrical analysis and control signal evaluation.
