The DL2700 digital oscilloscope, with a maximum record
length of 16 MW, features more than just a long record length. We
designed this instrument to facilitate long record measurement
work. This digital oscilloscope can efficiently capture abnormal
phenomena buried in long data, allowing you to search for and
analyze the causes of these abnormal phenomena. We made the
record length per channel as long as possible to enable you to carry
out efficient troubleshooting. We also designed the instrument to
measure data in at least six channels, enabling you to determine the
cause and effect relationship between each signal. The instrument
also has excellent zoom operability to permit analysis of captured
waveforms.
Select the number of channels and record length suitable for
your application. After the purchase, if you need more channels or
a larger record length, your oscilloscope can be upgraded.

FUNCTIONS
■ EFFECTIVE UTILIZATION OF THE LONG MEMORY
A long memory is useful not only for capturing single shot signals. The long memory of the DL2700 can meet a variety of
measurement needs.
● High Time Resolution Measurement Using the Long Memory
When you need to capture fast noise and surge signals using a
slow time/div range, a long record length is necessary. For instance, at 10 µs/div several tens of Kwords may be required. The
4 MW record length of the DL2700 supports a sampling rate of

500 MS/s even when you are monitoring waveforms of several
milliseconds.
When you are observing transient phenomena or electronically
controlled machine signals, the signals captured by the long
memory are displayed on the screen in the correct orientation.
● Capturing Signals Using a Divided Long Memory
History Memory Holds up to 8000 Past Images
Troubleshooting of a designed circuit starts from capturing of an
abnormal signal. Often, when you wish to capture an abnormal
phenomenon, you do not know the correct trigger conditions
for capturing the signal. You may be lucky enough to display the
abnormal phenomenon on the screen by monitoring the signal
for some time using simple trigger conditions. However, when
you use a normal digital oscilloscope, an abnormal signal that
appears momentarily is updated by the next signal.
The DL2700 history memory holds up to 8000 previous displays
without any need for special settings. An abnormal phenomenon that appeared for only an instant can be recalled later.
Example of a superimposed display of captured past screens
● Sequential Store Function with A Dead Time of 10 µs
Normally, when a waveform is displayed on a digital oscilloscope in realtime, a dead time of several ms occurs. Consequently, you cannot use a normal digital oscilloscope for applications requiring acquisition of all the signals generated at intervals of 1ms or less. The sequential store function of the DL2700
eliminates the process of displaying the acquired signals, thus
enabling the signals to be captured with only a short dead time.
Like the history memory function, the sequential store function
enables signals that satisfy the trigger conditions for up to 8000
measurements to be acquired by the built-in memory.
● Difference between The History Memory Function and The
Sequential Store Function
Both the history memory function and the sequential store function use the memory divided into several blocks rather than as a
single unit. The history memory function uses the divided memory
blocks as a ring memory, and the contents of the oldest memory
block are updated until the stop key is pressed. The sequential
store function does not update the contents of the memory after
acquiring the specified number of waveforms. As indicated in the
figure below, when the sequential store function is used, signals
are not displayed each time they are acquired into memory.

■ SIMPLE, VERSATILE ZOOM
A zoom function that magnifies part of the captured signal is an
important feature of a digital oscilloscope that has a long
memory. The DL2700 enables you to make various kinds of
zoom displays by means of simple operations.
● Zoom that Can Simultaneously Display 24 Traces with Intuitive
Operations
The zoom operation of the
DL2700 is the same as the popular zoom operation used in the
DL1540/D1540L and DL4000
series. The ASIC developed by
YOKOGAWA processes the long
memory at high speed, enabling
you to display the desired area
instantaneously.
● Various Zoom Displays
The overall screen of a signal captured by the DL2700 is defined
as Main, and an enlarged screen of part of the waveform is defined as Zoom. You can set two enlarged areas Zoom 1 (Z1) and
Zoom 2 (Z2) with respect to a captured waveform. You can combine the Main screen, the Z1 screen and the Z2 screen into a
single screen. In the Main&Z1&Z2 setting mode which simultaneously displays the Main screen and the two enlarged screens,
Z1 and Z2, a maximum of 24 analog signals can be displayed
simultaneously.
Main displayMain & Z1 & Z2 display
● By Using The Zoom Allocation Function, You Can Display An
Enlarged Form of One or More of A Number of Waveforms on
A Screen.
When performing multi-channel measurements, if it is not necessary to enlarge all of the waveforms. You can use the zoom allocation function to display only certain selected waveforms in
the Zoom screen in enlarged form.

■ YOU CAN SELECT A SIGNAL CAPTURING METHOD AND A
DISPLAY METHOD THAT IS SUITABLE FOR THE PARTICULAR
MEASUREMENT YOU WISH TO PERFORM.
● Envelope
If you perform signal observation for at least several seconds,
you cannot capture signals at the maximum sampling rate, even
if you use a long memory of 16M words. However, by using the
envelope mode of the DL2700, you can always store the peak
value of the signal at a sampling rate of 200 MS/s, regardless of
the Time/div setting.
When envelope is ONWhen envelope is OFF
● Box Average
The resolution of the A/D converter of the DL2700 is 8 bits. By
using the box average function, you can capture signals at an
equivalent resolution of up to 12 bits depending upon the Time/
div setting. The box average function is also effective for capturing single shot signals.
also be set using voltage values. You can use the measure save
function.
(which arranges the results of the past 512 measurements up to
the point where signal acquisition stopped) to output these results in ASCII format. You can process these results using
spreadsheet calculation software.
Example of automatic measurement of waveform parameter
● Histogram Analysis
• Wave statistical processing
This function specifies the voltage
and the time range. After a signal
has been acquired a number of
times, the frequency of occurrence
of time values and voltage values
are displayed. This is effective for
analyzing jitter, for example.
When box average is ON
(After the signal is captured, zoom takes
place in the voltage axis direction)
● Roll Mode Display
The roll mode displays a low speed signal on the screen in such
a way that it rolls, thus enabling it to be recorded on a pen recorder. This mode can also be used in combination with the envelope to capture surge signals of several tens of MHz, or in
combination with the box average function to capture signals at
high resolution.

When box average is OFF
(After the signal is captured, zoom takes
place in the voltage axis direction)
Example of roll mode display
• Statistical processing of the
waveform parameter results
The measurement results for the set
number of acquisitions of the
specified items of the waveform
parameters are displayed in the
form of a histogram.
• Voltage histogram display
By displaying a histogram of
voltage for each acquisition, you
can analyze the waveform from a
different angle.
● Waveform Calculation Software
[User Define is An Option]
The DL2700 supports basic functions which performs addition,
subtraction, multiplication and division phase performs a phase
shift followed by before mentioned computations. Binary converts an analog signal into a bit patterns of ones and zeros,
based on a defined threshold. User define math function (optional) enables you to combine various funtions to perform
waveform calculation.
■
HIGH-SPEED PRIMARY PROCESSING OF CAPTURED SIGNALS
The i960 Intel RISC processor installed in the DL2700 automatically measures the waveform parameters, and also performs
waveform calculations and other data processing, at high speed.
● Automatic Measurement of Waveform Parameters
You can select various items such as amplitude, rise, and interchannel delay, from a total of 24 items, for each channel. The
reference values of the parameters related to the time axis can

DIGITAL OSCILLOSCOPES & DIGITAL SCOPES
DL2700
The user define math function offers functions such as square
root, exponential, common logarithms, differentiation, and integration, pulse-width, Hilbert transform, and FFT.
These calculations are all performed in the Math 1 and Math 2
areas and you can also use calculation results from Math 1 in
Math 2 functions.
By combining these functions, you can perform calculations
such as demodulation of FM modulated waveforms.
● Linear Scaling Function Converts Voltages into Physical Values.
When recording an output from a sensor, for example, it is desirable to convert it directly into a physical value such as rpm or
m/s rather than leaving it as a voltage.
The linear scaling function of the DL2700 assigns coefficients
and offset values to enable the input voltage to be converted
into a physical value. In addition, a unit can be attached to a
converted result, enabling it to be displayed directly as a physical value.
■ YOU CAN OUTPUT A CAPTURED WAVEFORM IN VARIOUS
FORMS DEPENDING ON THE PARTICULAR APPLICATION.
● Outputting A Signal to The Built-in Printer (option)
There are two ways you can output a signal to the built-in
printer. The short copy format in which the screen data is
printed and the long copy format in which signal data in the acquisition memory is printed out in an expanded form.
Example of short copy

A trigger is generated when the selected waveform crosses a set level.
A vertial gate is placed ahead of the trigger point. A trigger occurs when the trigger
conditions are met after the signal meets the gate condition(pass or bypass)
The trigger condition is satisfied when the B trigger occurs n times after the A trigger
condition is met.
The trigger condition is satisfied when the B trigger conditions are met after the A trigger
occures and the set delay time has elapsed.
The trigger occurs at the point in time at which the edge of a selected input channel is
detected while the A pattern trigger condition exists.
The trigger occurs when any one of the individual channnel edge triggers occur.
A trigger is generated on the falling or rising edge of a pulse when the pulse width exceeds
the preset time. The setable range is 90ns to 5s.
A trigger is generated on the falling or rising edge of a pulse when the pulse width is less
than the preset time. The minimum glitch detection is 5ns.
A trigger occurs when the B trigger condition remains true for the set period of time.
A trigger is generated by a video signal such as NTSC, PAL, HDTV, etc.
A trigger occurs when the signal crosses the upper or lower defined levels.
A trigger is defined by combination of the logic inputs.
