Safety Precautions
Make sure to comply with the precautions below. Not complying might result in
injury or death.
WARNING
Use the Correct Power Supply
Before connecting the power cord, ensure that the source voltage matches the
rated supply voltage of the DL9000 and that it is within the maximum rated voltage
of the provided power cord.
Use the Correct Power Cord and Plug
To prevent the possibility of electric shock or fire, be sure to use the power cord
supplied by YOKOGAWA. The main power plug must be plugged into an outlet with
a protective earth terminal. Do not invalidate this protection by using an extension
cord without protective earth grounding.
Connect the Protective Grounding Terminal
Make sure to connect the protective earth to prevent electric shock before turning
ON the power. The power cord that comes with the instrument is a three-pin type
power cord. Connect the power cord to a properly grounded three-pin outlet.
Do Not Impair the Protective Grounding
Never cut off the internal or external protective earth wire or disconnect the wiring
of the protective earth terminal. Doing so poses a potential shock hazard.
Do Not Operate with Defective Protective Grounding or Fuse
Do not operate the instrument if the protective earth or fuse might be defective.
Make sure to check them before operation.
Do Not Operate in an Explosive Atmosphere
Do not operate the instrument in the presence of flammable liquids or vapors.
Operation in such environments constitutes a safety hazard.
Do Not Remove Covers
The cover should be removed by YOKOGAWA’s qualified personnel only. Opening
the cover is dangerous, because some areas inside the instrument have high
voltages.
Ground the Instrument before Making External Connections
Securely connect the protective grounding before connecting to the item under
measurement or an external control unit. If you are going to touch the circuit, make
sure to turn OFF the circuit and check that no voltage is present. To prevent the
possibility of electric shock or an accident, connect the ground of the probe and
input connector to the ground of the item being measured.
See below for operating environment limitations.

Signal Flow
The signal applied to each signal input terminal is first passed to the vertical control circuit
consisting of an attenuator (ATT) and pre-amplifier. At the attenuator and pre-amplifier, the
amplitude of each input signal is adjusted according to the settings such as the input coupling,
voltage sensitivity (Scale), and offset voltage. The adjusted input signal is then passed to the
cross-point switch. The signal input to the cross-point switch is passed to the A/D converter
according to the interleave setting.
At the A/D converter, the received voltage level is converted into digital values. The digital data
is written to the primary memory by the primary data processing circuit at the sample rate that
matches the time axis setting.
When the trigger is applied, data written to the primary memory is transferred to the acquisition
memory.
The data written to the acquisition memory is converted into waveform display data by the
secondary data processing circuit, transferred to the waveform processing circuit, and stored
in the display memory. The waveforms are displayed on the LCD using the data stored in the
display memory.

2.2 Channels and Displayed Waveforms
There are three types of waveform that can be displayed on the DL9000.
• Input waveforms
• Computed waveforms
• Reference waveforms
The reference waveform can be selected from input waveforms, computed waveforms,
and previously stored input or computed waveforms.
The DL9000 provides the following channels.
• Input channels (CH1 to CH4)
• Computation channels (M1 to M4)
By assigning a waveform to each channel, the assigned waveforms can be displayed.
Depending on the channel type, different waveforms can be assigned as follows.
Input channels: Measurement waveforms currently being captured, computed
If a computed waveform is assigned to an input channel, it is displayed as MATH5 to MATH8.
Input Waveforms
These are waveforms for measurement input to an input channel.
Computed Waveforms
These are waveforms computed from input waveforms or reference waveforms.
In the calculation equation that can be set in the menu for channels 1 to 4 is fixed, being
the input waveform of the input channel being set. When a calculation is set in the
menu for channels 1 to 4, the data of the channel for which the calculation is set is the
calculation value.
For details of computations, see page 2-24.
Note
To use a calculated result as a source for a different calculation equation, set the calculation
equation in the menu for channels 1 to 4, then use that result (one of channels 1 to 4) as the
source in the separate calculation formula.
Reference Waveforms
Any of input waveforms, other computed waveforms, and previously stored input or
computed waveforms can be selected for display. The history information for the
selected waveform is also read in.
It is also possible to make a separate selection from the history waveforms to display
only one, or to display all of the history waveforms superimposed.
A history waveform refers to any previous waveform stored in acquisition memory.
For details of history waveforms, see Chapter 11.

The vertical sensitivity setting is used to adjust the displayed amplitude of the waveform
for easy viewing of the signal. The vertical sensitivity is set by assigning a voltage or a
current value to one grid square (1 division) on the screen.
By switching attenuators with different attenuation and changing the amplification of the
pre-amplifier, the sensitivity changes in steps (for example, voltage sensitivity changes in
steps as in 1 V/div, 2 V/div, and 5 V/div).
Note
Vertical Sensitivity Setting and Measurement Resolution
To measure a voltage with high precision, the vertical sensitivity should be adjusted so that the
input signal is measured with as large an amplitude as possible.
The DL9000 uses 8-bit A/D converters to sample the input signal at a resolution of 250 levels
(LSB). The waveforms are displayed using 25 levels per division.
Valid Data Range
The output with 250 levels as described above is displayed at 25 levels per division, and
therefore the effective display range is �5 divisions from the center of the screen. However, if
the vertical axis position is moved after stopping data (signal) acquisition, the valid data range
also moves by the same amount.
Explanation of Functions
Vertical Position of the Waveform ►For the procedure, see section 5.3
Since the DL9000 can display eight waveform channels, including computation channels,
the waveforms are displayed superimposed, and can be difficult to read.
In this case, you can change the display position of waveforms on the vertical axis (vertical
position) in the range of �4 divisions for easier viewing. The vertical sensitivity switches
around the vertical position (mark).

Input Coupling ►For the procedure, see section 5.4
If you want to observe just the amplitude of an AC signal, it is best to remove the DC
component from the input signal. On the other hand, there are times when you want
to check the ground level or observe the entire input signal (both the DC and AC
components). In these cases, you can change the input coupling setting. By changing
the input coupling, the method used to input the input signal to the vertical control circuit
(voltage axis) is switched. The following types of input coupling are available.
AC1 MΩ
The input signal is coupled to the attenuator of the vertical control circuit through a
capacitor. This setting is used when you want to observe only the amplitude of the AC
signal, eliminating the DC component from the input signal.
DC1 MΩ
The input signal is directly coupled to the attenuator of the vertical control circuit. Use this
setting if you want to observe the entire input signal (DC component and AC component).
DC50 Ω
ThesameasforDC1MΩabove,exceptthattheinputimpedanceis50W. Care is
required, as this reduces the maximum input voltage.
GND
The input signal is coupled to the ground not to the attenuator of the vertical control
circuit. You can use this setting to check the ground level on the screen.
Probe Attenuation/Current-to-Voltage Conversion Ratio ►For the procedure,
see section 5.6
Normally a probe is used in connecting the circuit being measured to the measurement
input terminal. Using a probe has the following advantages.
• A
voids disturbing the voltage and current of the circuit being measured.
• Inputs the signal with no distortion.
Expands the voltage range that the DL9000 can measure.
•
The DL9000 is supplied with 500 MHz passive probes. The supplied probe attenuates
the measured voltage signal by a factor of 1/10. When using the probe, in order to read
the measurement voltage correctly, the attenuation setting on the DL9000 must be set to
match the probe attenuation. The DL9000 automatically recognizes when the supplied
500 MHz passive probes (voltage probes) are connected, and sets the attenuation ratio
to 10 : 1.
In addition to the 10 : 1 setting, the DL9000 has settings for a voltage probe of 1 : 1, 100
: 1, and 1000 : 1, and for a current probe settings of 1 A : 1 V, 10 A : 1 V, and 100 A : 1 V.
When using probes, set the attenuation ratio to match that of the probe.

To observe a signal riding on top of a predetermined voltage, an offset voltage can be
applied to subtract the predetermined voltage so that only the changes in the signal can
be observed with higher vertical sensitivity.
Usually, the offset voltage does not affect the cursor measurement values, the result
of the automated measurement of waveform parameters, or the computed values.
However, by setting Offset Cancel to ON (see section 5.10), you can calculate with the
offset voltage subtracted from cursor measurement values, results of the automated
measurement of waveform parameters, and computed values.

Explanation of Functions
Inverted Waveform Display
This inverts the waveform display about the Position value as center. The inversion
applies to the display only, and does not affect the measurement value. Setting the
inverted display ON/OFF does not affect waveform parameter automatic measurement
values or calculations.
Bandwidth Limit ►For the procedure, see section 5.5
You can set a upper bandwidth limit on the input signal for each channel. You can
observe signals with the noise components above the specified frequency eliminated.
The frequency can be selected from FULL, 200 MHz, 20 MHz, 8 MHz, 4 MHz, 2 MHz, 1
MHz, 500 kHz, 250 kHz, 125 kHz, 62.5 kHz, 32 kHz, 16 kHz, and 8 kHz.
Horizontal Axis (Time Axis)
Time Axis Setting ►For the procedure, see section 5.8
The time axis scale (T/div) is set as time per grid square (1 div). The setting range is from
500ps/div to 50s/div. Since horizontal axis display range is 10 div, the waveform display
time is T/div × 10.

2.3 Vertical and Horizontal Axes
Relationship between the Specified Record Length, Time Axis Setting,
Sample Rate, and Display Record Length
If you change the time axis setting with respect to the specified record length of the
acquisition memory, the sample rate and display record length change. For more details
about this relationship, see Appendix 1.
Time Axis Setting and Roll Mode Display
If T/div is set to a certain range (see Appendix 1), instead of the displayed waveform
being updated by a trigger (update mode), the waveform is displayed in roll mode. In
roll mode, as new data is captured, the oldest values are deleted from the screen, as
the waveform scrolls from right to left. Thus roll mode display allows waveforms to be
observed in the same way as on a pen recorder. It is useful in observing low frequency
signals or signals that change slowly. It is also useful in detecting glitches (spikes in the
waveform) that occur intermittently.
* Roll mode display is also used when the trigger mode is set to single. However, the displayed
waveforms stop when a trigger is activated.

2.4 Triggers
Trigger level
When set to rising ( ),
the trigger is activated here (edge)
Trigger source
A trigger is a cue used to display the waveform on the screen. A trigger is activated when
the specified trigger condition is met. At this point, the waveform is ready to be displayed
on the screen.
Trigger Source, Trigger Slope, and Trigger Level
Trigger source
Trigger source refers to the signal that is used in checking the trigger condition.
Trigger slope
Trigger slope refers to the movement of the signal from a low level to a high level (rising
edge) or from a high level to a low level (falling edge). When a slope is used as one of
the trigger conditions, it is called a trigger slope.
Edge
The term “edge” is used to refer to the point at which the trigger source slope passes the
trigger level (or if trigger hysteresis is set, the point at which it has passed the level by
the hysteresis amount).
Trigger level
Trigger level refers to the level at which a trigger is activated when the trigger source
passes the certain level.
With simple triggers such as the edge trigger described later, a trigger is activated when
the level of the trigger source passes through the specified trigger level.
Explanation of Functions
Trigger Type ►For the procedure, see sections 6.6 to 6.20
The DL9000 provides three basic trigger types: “Edge/State,” “Width,” and “Enhanced.”
Then by setting “Event Interval,” a trigger can be applied that is dependent on the period
of a recurring trigger condition, or the time interval between two triggers.
Edge/State trigger
There are four types of Edge/State trigger, as follows.
• Edge
When the trigger source passes through the specified trigger level on a rising or falling
edge, a trigger is activated. Y

•
The DL9000 checks the state condition at the rising or falling e
dge of the specified
signal (clock signal) and normalizes the result (high if the state condition is met or
low if not). A

A trigger is activated by the duration of a pulse (pulse width). There are three types of
width trigger, as follows.

state condition is met or not met satisfies the
relationship with the specified determination time.

This trigger is used when observing a video signal. NTSC (525/60/2), PAL
and HDTV (1125/60/2) standards are supported. The horizontal sync signal can be
set to any frequency, allowing a trigger to be taken from any TV signal, not necessarily
one of the above standards.

Trigger Mode ►For the procedure, see section 6.1
Sets the conditions for updating the displayed waveforms. The following five trigger
modes are available.
Auto Mode
If a trigger is not activated within a specified time (approximately 100 ms, referred to as
the timeout time), the displayed waveforms are automatically updated.
2.4 Triggers
Explanation of Functions
Auto Level Mode
The displayed waveforms are updated in the same way as in auto mode.
In the case of an Edge trigger, if the trigger is not activated when the timeout time
has elapsed, the amplitude of the trigger source is detected, and the trigger level is
automatically updated to the center value of the amplitude.
Normal Mode
The displayed waveforms are updated only when the trigger condition holds. The
displayed waveforms are not updated if a trigger does not occur.
Single Mode
When the trigger condition holds, the displayed waveforms are updated once only, and
signal acquisition is stopped. This mode is useful when you are observing a single-shot
signal.
N Single Mode
The DL9000 acquires signals to different memory areas each time the trigger condition is
met for the specified number of counts. Then, the DL9000 stops acquisition and displays
the waveform of all acquired signals.

2.4 Triggers
Trigger Position ►For the procedure, see section 6.2
After signal acquisition is started, the DL9000 triggers on the specified trigger condition
and displays the waveform of the acquired signal. When the trigger delay described
in the next item is set to 0 s, the trigger position coincides with the point at which the
trigger condition becomes true. By moving the trigger position on the screen, the display
ratio of the signal data (“pre-” data) before the trigger point which has been captured to
acquisition memory (the pre-trigger part), and data (“post-” data) after the trigger point (the
post-trigger part) can be changed.
Trigger Delay ►For the procedure, see section 6.3
The DL9000 normally displays the waveform before and after the trigger point. You can
set a trigger delay so that the DL9000 displays the waveform of the signal acquired the
specified time after the trigger or the specified number of edges after the trigger.
By time: S

detected a certain number of times.
Trigger Hold-off ►For the procedure, see section 6.4
The trigger hold-off function temporarily stops detection of the next trigger once a trigger
has been activated. This function is useful when observing a pulse train signal, such as
a PCM code or when using the history memory function described later (see page 2-20)
and you want to change the signal acquisition period.
Trigger Coupling ►For the procedure, see section 6.5
As with the input signal to be measured, you can change the input coupling for the trigger
source. Select the input coupling that is suitable for the trigger source signal.
The following two types of input coupling are available for the trigger source signal.
DC
Select this setting when using the source as is with no processing of the signal.
AC
Select this setting when using the signal with the DC components removed for the trigger
source.
HF Rejection ►For the procedure, see section 6.5
Turn HF rejection ON to eliminate high frequency components above 15 kHz or 20 MHz
from the trigger source. This prevents triggers from being activated at unexpected points
due to the effect of high frequency noise.

Trigger Hysteresis ►For the procedure, see section 6.5
If there is insufficient trigger level width and noise is present in the trigger source, the trigger
point fluctuates each time a trigger is activated. This causes the displayed waveforms to
be unstable. Again, even with a slope of the polarity opposite to that specified, noise near
the threshold value can cause the trigger to be activated. To prevent this from happening,
a certain width (hysteresis) is assigned to the specified trigger level.
The DL9000 provides a selection between
hysteresis). When
trigger point due to noise can be reduced, giving a more stable waveform display.
However, this setting can make the trigger point less precise, reducing the trigger
sensitivity, so that a trigger source of low amplitude may fail to activate. With a stable
signal free of noise, or a low amplitude trigger signal, set the hysteresis to

Window Comparator ►For the procedure, see section 6.5
This determines whether a trigger condition based on a waveform rising edge or falling
edge, or High/Low, or a Qualify or State condition falls within (IN) or outside (OUT) a
specified range (Window).
The Window comparator can be enabled or disabled for each channel separately. The
trigger condition changes according to the Window comparator setting for the channel
set for a trigger source and so on.
For example, if the source channel of an Edge trigger has the Window comparator
enabled, the trigger can be activated according as the source channel waveform is within
or outside the specified area.

Acquisition Mode ►For the procedure, see section 7.1
When storing sampled data in the acquisition memory (see “Signal Flow” in section
2.1), it is possible to perform processing on data and display waveforms based on the
processed data. The following three types of data processing are available.
Normal Mode
In this mode, sampled data is stored in the acquisition memory without special
processing.
Envelope Mode
In normal mode or averaging mode, the sample rate (the number of times data is
acquired per second in the acquisition memory) drops if T/div is increased (see Appendix
1). However, in envelope mode, the maximum and minimum values are determined from
the data sampled at 2.5 GS/s at time interval one half that of the sampling period (inverse
of the sample rate) of normal mode regardless of the interleave mode setting (ON or
OFF). The maximum and minimum values are stored as pairs in the acquisition memory.
Envelope mode is useful when you want to avoid aliasing (see next page), since the
sample rate remains high irrespective of the time axis setting. It is also useful when you
want to detect glitches (narrow pulse signals) or display an envelope of a modulating
signal.
Averaging Mode
In the averaging mode, signals are acquired repeatedly to obtain the average of sampled
data at the same time point (the same time in relation to the trigger point). The DL9000
takes the exponential or simple average of the sampled data and writes the results to the
acquisition memory. The averaged data is then used to generate the display. When the
trigger mode is auto mode, auto level mode, or normal mode then exponential averaging
is used, and in the single mode, simple averaging. This mode is useful such as when
eliminating random noise superimposed on the signal.
For exponential averaging, you set the attenuation constant. For simple averaging, you
set the sampling data acquisition count.

High Resolution Mode ►For the procedure, see section 7.2
Aliased signalInput signalSampling point
Normally, this unit takes digital values from the 8-bit A/D converter, applies specified
processing, and then stores 8-bit values in primary memory.
On the other hand, the resolution of the A/D converter can be improved equivalently by
placing a bandwidth limit on the input signal.
In high resolution mode, the effective number of bits per data value in the primary
memory is expanded to 12 bits, and data is stored by maintaining the improved resolution
through bandwidth limiting.
Record Length ►For the procedure, see section 7.3
The term record length refers to the number of data points acquired per channel in the
acquisition memory. The record lengths that can be set are: 2.5 k words (2500 points),
6.25 k words, 12.5 k words, 25 k words, 62.5 k words, 125 k words, 250 k words, 625 k
words, 1.25 M words, 2.5 M words, and 6.25 M words (the maximum record length that
can be set varies from model to model). Basically, if you change the time axis setting, the
sample rate is changed to maintain the set record length at the same value. However,
in some cases the record length is changed as a result, for example, of a changed time
axis setting (see Appendix 1).
Sampling Mode ►For the procedure, see sections 7.4 to 7.6
Depending on the time axis setting, you can switch the mode for sampling the input
signal (sampling mode). The time axis ranges that allow the sampling mode to be
changed vary depending on the acquisition mode and other settings. For details, see
Appendix 1.
2.5 Acquisition Conditions
Explanation of Functions
Realtime sampling mode
Changing the time axis setting causes the sample rate to change. Data can be sampled
at up to 5 GS/s (2.5 GS/s when interleave mode is OFF). The input signal is sampled
sequentially, and the data is stored in the acquisition memory.
In this mode, according to the sampling theorem*, the signal can only be correctly
displayed up to a frequency which is one-half of the sample rate (samples per second, or
S/s). Therefore, an appropriate sample rate for a signal is such that the frequency of the
signal is comparatively lower.
* If the sample rate is relatively low compared with the input signal frequency, then higher
harmonic content of the signal will be lost. In this case, according to the Nyquist sampling
theorem, the high frequency components may be transformed into low frequencies, by the
process known as aliasing. By setting the mode to envelope signal acquisition, aliasing can
be avoided.
IM 701310-01E

Page 42
2.5 Acquisition Conditions
Repetitive Sampling Mode
In repetitive sampling mode, you can set a time axis that exceeds the maximum sample
rate of 5 GS/s (2.5 GS/s if the interleave mode is OFF). In this mode, one waveform
is created from several cycles of a repeating signal. This is equivalent to sampling the
signal at a higher sample rate than the actual sample rate. The DL9000 enables an
apparent maximum sample rate up to 2.5 TS/s.
If repetitive sampling mode is OFF and the sample rate exceeds the maximum selectable
sample rate due to the relationship between the time axis and display record length, the
display record length is reduced according to the time axis setting and sample rate.
There are two types of repetitive sampling. One is sequential sampling in which the
data is sampled by intentionally offsetting the sampling points by a certain time with
respect to the trigger point. The other is random sampling in which the data that is offset
randomly from the trigger point is sampled and resorted with respect to the trigger point.
The DL9000 employs random sampling which enables the signal before the trigger point
(trigger position, see section 2.4) to be observed.
Interleave Mode
The sample rate in realtime sampling mode can be increased to 5 GS/s by sampling a
single signal using two A/D converters with offset phases.
For the relation between the interleave mode and time axis, record length, and sample
rate, see Appendix 1.
Interpolation
The practical sample rate can be increased up to 2.5 TS/s by interpolating the actual
sampled data 1000 times (2000 times during high resolution mode).
Action On Trigger ►For the procedure, see section 7.8
Conditions can be determined at the zone through which the result of the automated
measurement of waveform parameters or waveform passes. If the conditions are met, a
given action can be executed at the same time as the signal acquisition. The action to be
carried out can be selected from a number of possibilities, including sounding an alarm,
saving measurement data or a screen image, or printing a screen image, or sending
E-mail.
The action on trigger operation is carried out with Exec on the menu screen. It cannot be
carried out with the START/STOP key. Additionally, when the action on trigger is carried
out, the trigger mode becomes the normal mode.

2.5 Acquisition Conditions
GO/NO-GO Determination ►For the procedure, see sections 7.9 to 7.16
This is used as a criteria for the action-on-trigger. This function determines whether the
acquired signal meets the criteria (GO) or not (NO-GO). The DL9000 can transmit GO/
NO-GO results through the rear panel GO/NO-GO I/O terminal. The GO/NO-GO result
can be used to trigger an action-on-trigger.
This feature is useful for signal testing on electronic device production lines and tracking
down abnormal phenomena.
The following eight GO/NO-GO types are available.

History Memory ►For the procedure, see chapter 11
When signals are being measured, the signal stored in the acquisition memory as a
result of a trigger being activated is displayed as waveforms on the DL9000 screen, and
can be viewed. When triggers are successively activated and signals are acquired, it is
impossible to stop the measurement in time when an abnormal waveform appears (newer
waveforms appear on the screen). Normally, abnormal waveforms in the past cannot be
displayed. By using the history memory function, the past signal data (history waveforms
including the current displayed waveform) stored in the acquisition memory can be
displayed when signal acquisition is stopped.
You can select the display mode from below.
• Display any single waveform
• Display all waveforms with a color or intensity gradation
• Display all waveforms with no gradation, highlighting a single s
• Displaying the simple arithmetic mean of all waveforms
ou can also automatically replay from the oldest waveform to the newest waveform, and

vice versa.
The number of waveforms N that can be acquired and held as history waveforms varies
from 1 to 2000 depending on the record length setting. If the number of waveforms N
that can be acquired and held is exceeded, the oldest history waveform is cleared. The
waveform currently displayed on the screen (newest waveform) is counted as the 1st
waveform, and up to N-1 waveforms in the past can be displayed. The following figure
indicates an example when N = 1000.

When signal acquisition is stopped, you can search for history waveforms that meet
specified conditions.

You can search for history waveforms that pass or do not pass a specified search zone.
There are three types of search zone, as follows.

Waveform Zooming ►For the procedure, see section 8.1
Displayed waveforms can be enlarged in both the time axis and the voltage axis
directions. This function is useful when the signal acquisition time is set long and you
wish to observe a particular section of the waveform closely. The zoom position can be
set in grid div units.
The zoom waveform can be displayed at up to two positions simultaneously (dual zoom).
The display combinations of the normal waveform, zoom waveform, and analysis screen
windows are as follows, with the normal waveform area identified as Main, the zoom
waveform areas as Z1 and Z2, and the analysis areas as A1 and A2.
Explanation of Functions
IM 701310-01E
When the Main (normal waveform) and Zoom 1 or Zoom 2 waveforms are displayed
simultaneously, a zoom box appears in the normal waveform area to indicate the zoom
position. The center of the zoom is the center of this box. For details of display examples,
see section 1.3, “Screen Displaying Zoom Waveforms.”
You can select the display format of the zoom waveform area, and whether a trace is on
or off, independently of the Main waveform area.
When zooming in the voltage axis direction, you can select a waveform to enlarge, and
set it to 1.05 to 10 times normal size.
When zooming in the time axis direction, you can enlarge until there are ten data points
in the zoom waveform area.
You can also set a point meeting a set trigger condition as the zoom center, or
automatically move the zoom center.

Display Format ►For the procedure, see section 8.2
Splitting the Screen
The screen can be split evenly so that input waveforms and computed waveforms can be
easily viewed. The screen can be divided in the following ways:
Single (no split), Dual (two ways), Triad (three ways), Quad (four ways)
Waveform Assignment
You can assign channels to the divided windows.
• Auto
Waveforms whose display is turned ON are assigned in order from the top.

each window.
Display Interpolation ►For the procedure, see section 8.3
If a given size of data is not available in 10 divisions along the time axis, the data can be
interpolated to display the waveform.
Sine Interpolation
Interpolated data is created with the function (sin x)/x, to interpolate between two points
with a sine wave. Sine interpolation is suitable for observing sine waves or similar waves.

2.7 Computation
Prescaling and Rescaling ►For the procedure, see sections 9.2 to 9.7
Prescaling linearly scales the source waveform before carrying out computation. The
computation uses the scaled values.
Rescaling linearly scales the results of the computation.
Computed Waveform Display
By setting a computation equation for each of CH1 to CH4, and M1 to M4, a maximum of
eight computed waveforms can be displayed.
Through (Linear Scaling) ►For the procedure, see section 9.2
By setting Through, linear scaling only can be carried out.
Addition, Subtraction, and Multiplication ►For the procedure, see section 9.3
Addition, subtraction, and multiplication can be applied to any of CH1 to CH4, using
the input waveform of the channel itself together with the waveform of any of CH1 to
CH4 and REF1 to REF4 as operands, and can be applied to M1 to M4, using any two
waveforms of CH1 to CH4 and REF1 to REF4 as operands. The computation result is
used as the waveform (computed waveform) for CH1 to CH4 or M1 to M4.
The addition (+) and subtraction (–) functions are convenient for comparison with a
reference signal, checking signal logic, or phase comparison, and multiplication (×) can
be used to check the power waveform when inputting a voltage signal and current signal.
Integration ►For the procedure, see section 9.4
This integrates the selected waveform. Taking the specified integration start point as 0,
the entire region is calculated, counting up toward the newest data, and counting down
toward the oldest data. For CH1 to CH4 the computation applies to the input waveform of
the channel itself, and for M1 to M4 applies to any of CH1 to CH4 and REF1 to REF4.
Phase Shift ►For the procedure, see section 9.5
A waveform can be displayed phase-shifted. To advance the phase, set a positive value,
and to delay the phase, set a negative value.
IIR Filter ►For the procedure, see section 9.6
High-frequency noise can be filtered out (with a low-pass filter), or low-frequency noise
can be filtered out (with a high-pass filter).
You can select a first-order filter or a second-order filter. When a second-order filter is
selected, there is no phase delay.
Smoothing ►For the procedure, see section 9.7
A waveform can be displayed smoothed, by removing noise with a sliding average.
Edge Count ►For the procedure, see section 9.8
This counts edges of a selected waveform. Taking the specified count start point as 0,
the entire region is calculated, counting up toward the newest data, and counting down
toward the oldest data. For CH1 to CH4 the computation applies to the input waveform of
the channel itself, and for M1 to M4 applies to any of CH1 to CH4 and REF1 to REF4.

the specified integration start point as 0, the entire region is calculated, counting up
toward the newest data, and counting down toward the oldest data. For CH1 to CH4 the
computation applies to the input waveform of the channel itself, and for M1 to M4 applies
to any of CH1 to CH4 and REF1 to REF4.
Scale Conversion of a Computed Waveform (Ranging) ►For the procedure, see
section 9.1
When displaying a computed waveform, normally auto scaling is carried out, but manual
scaling can also be selected.
Auto scaling automatically determines from the computed waveform the center line level

to display the computed waveform.
Manual scaling allows both Center and Sensitivity to be set as required.

There are six types of cursor.
Horizontal Cursors
Two broken lines (horizontal cursors) are displayed parallel to the horizontal axis, and

There are 27 different measurement items. A maximum of 16 items can be displayed
from the selected items for all channels together. A computation formula using the
automatic measurement values can also be set, and the result displayed.
Statistical Processing ►For the procedure, see section 10.3
Statistical processing can be performed on the automated measurement values
described above. The following five statistics can be determined on the two measured
values of automated measurement parameters.
• Maximum value (Max)
• Minimum value (Min)
• Mean value (Mean)
• Standarddeviation(σ)
• Count of measurement values subjected to statistics processin
The following three statistical processing methods are available.
•
Normal Statistical Processing
Statistical processing is carried out while acquiring waveforms, on the specified
number of waveforms from the most recently captured. If waveform acquisition is
stopped, then restarted, the statistical processing from before stopping is continued.
Carrying out a Restart in the menus resets the statistical processing up to that point. It
is also possible to set the number of data values used in statistical processing.
•
Statistical Processing Over One Cycle of Measurement or Within Measurement
Range
In the displayed waveforms, the period is found sequentially fr
and data within that period is used for measurement of the selected automatic
asurement item, then statistical processing is carried out. The method of finding the
me
period is the same as for Period in the normal waveform parameters.

and statistical processing is performed. The statistical processing is carried out from
the oldest waveforms first.

The following formulas are used to calculate each item.
With one signal level applied to the X-axis (horizontal axis), and a second signal level
applied to the Y-axis (vertical axis), the phase relationship between the two input
signals can be observed. Simultaneous observation of X-Y waveforms and normal T-Y
waveforms (waveform display using time axis and level) is possible.
It is also possible to specify the ranges for X-Y analysis, or carry out analysis depending
on the specified signal level.
The X-Y analysis results can be used for cursor measurement, and also the area can
be computed. For details of the computation of area, see Appendix 2, “Waveform Area
Computation.”
You can use the X-Y waveform display function to measure the phase angle between two
sine wave signals. For example, an X-Y display of two sine waves produces a so-called
Lissajous figure, from which the phase angle can be read.

2.8 Analyzing and Searching
FFT Analysis ►For the procedure, see section 10.7
This executes a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), and displays the power spectrum.
You can select the trace for the real part or the trace for the imaginary part. If the trace
for the imaginary part is not set, the real part only is used for calculation, and negative
frequencies are not displayed.
You can select the time window from Rectangular, Hanning, and Flattop.
The rectangular window is best suited to transient signals, such as impulse waves, which
attenuate completely within the time window. The Hanning and flattop windows allow
continuity of the signal by gradually attenuating the parts of the signal located near the
ends of the time window down to the zero level. Hence, it is best suited to continuous
signals. With the Hanning window, the frequency resolution is higher than that of the
flattop window. However, the flattop window has a higher spectral level accuracy. When
the waveform being analyzed is a continuous signal, select the whichever of the Hanning
window and flattop window is more suitable for the application.
The number of points in the FFT can be selected from 2.5 k, 6.25 k, 12.5 k, 25 k, 62.5 k,
125 k, and 250 k. The FFT range is specified in the waveform area (Main/Zoom 1/Zoom
2). If the waveform area record length is more than the number of FFT points, the data is
downsampled for computation.
Marker measurement or peak value measurement can be used on the FFT waveform.
FFT Function
Given that the complex function resulting after the FFT is G = R + jI, the power spectrum
can be expressed as follows:

2.8 Analyzing and Searching
Waveform Parameter Histogram, Trend and List Displays ►For the procedure,
see section 10.8
You can display a selected waveform parameter as a histogram or trend. In the histogram
display, the average value, standard deviation, peak value, etc of a waveform parameter
can be measured. In the trend display, time series changes in the waveform parameter
can be observed, and a cursor displayed to measure the level.
Results of automated measurement of waveform parameters can be displayed in a list.
Accumulated Histogram Display ►For the procedure, see section 10.9
For a repeatedly captured signal, a frequency distribution histogram (Vertical, Horizontal)
is shown for the specified region. On the histogram, the average value, standard
deviation, maximum value, minimum value, peak value, intermediate value, etc can be
measured, and with the cursors, X-axis values or times can be measured. Using these
measurement values, further calculation can be carried out.
This is useful for measuring jitter.
Signal Searching ►For the procedure, see sections 10.10 to 10.12
You can perform searches on analog signals, or serial bus signals that the DL9000 has
acquired. You can expand a point that is found or select a point if many points are found.

3.4 Connecting the Probe
Connect a probe (or measurement input cable such as a BNC cable) to the input terminal
on the bottom of the front panel. The input impedance is 1 MW ± 1% and approximately
20 pF or 50 W ± 1.5%.
When connecting the probe, make sure to prevent an excessive voltage due to
static electricity, etc., from being applied to the probe interface terminal, as this
may damage it.
input is 150 Vrms when the frequency
is 1 kHz or less. Applying a voltage exceeding the value can damage the input
section. If the frequency is above 1 kHz, damage may occur even when the
voltage is below the value.
voltage exceeding either of these values can damage the input section.
Precautions to Be Taken When Connecting Cables
• When connecting a probe to the instrument for the first time, perform phase
correction of the probe as described in section 3.5, “Compensating the Probe
(Phase Correction).” If you do not, frequency characteristics will not be flat, and
measurements will not be correct. Perform the phase correction on each channel to
which a probe is to be connected.
• Note that if the object being measured is directly connected to
using a probe, correct measurements may not be possible because of the effect of
input impedance on the instrument. Use caution.

Making Preparations for Measurements
Setting the Probe Attenuation Ratio or Voltage-Current Conversion Factor
When using a probe not supported by the probe interface connector, follow the procedure
described in Section 6.6 to set the DL9000 attenuation ratio or voltage-current conversion
factor to match the probe attenuation ratio or voltage-current conversion factor. If this
setting is not carried out, correct measurement values will not be displayed.
Connecting a Probe Supported by the Probe Interface Connector
• If you connect a probe* supported by the probe interface connector to the DL9000, If you connect a probe* supported by the probe interface connector to the DL9000,If you connect a probe* supported by the probe interface connector to the DL9000,
the probe type is automatically recognized, and the attenuation ratio set. Power is
supplied to the probe through the probe interface, and therefore it is not necessary to
connect the probe power cable to the probe power terminals.
• Y
ou can execute automatic zero adjustment (see section 5.14) on a current probe that
is compatible with the probe interface connector.
* For a list of compatible probes, see “Optional Accessories” on page v.
Connecting FET Probe, Current Probe, Differential Probe, or Deskew Correction
Signal Source
If you are using the YOKOGAWA’s FET Probes, Current Probes, Differential Probes, or
Deskew Correction Signal Source, use the Probe Power (option) on the DL9000 rear
panel for the power supply. For details on the connection procedure, see the manual that
comes with the respective product.
* For a list of probes and signal sources, see “Optional Accessories” on page v.
CAUTION
Do not use the Probe Power Terminal (option) on the DL9000 rear panel for
purposes other than supplying power to the FET Probe, Current Probe, Differential
Probe, or Deskew Correction Signal Source. Also, be sure that the total current of
the four Probe Power Terminals and the four Probe Interface Terminals does not
exceed 1.2 A. Otherwise, the device connected to the Probe Power Terminals or to
the DL9000 may break.

3.4 Connecting the Probe
Handling Precautions of the Probe Interface Terminals and Probe Power
Terminals
If you are connecting the YOKOGAWA’s FET Probes, Current Probes, Differential
Probes, or Deskew Correction Signal Source to the Probe Power Terminals (Option) on
the rear panel, be sure that the total current of the two Probe Power Terminals and the
four Probe Interface Terminals does not exceed 1.2 A. Otherwise, the DL9000 operation
may become unstable due to the activation of the excessive current protection circuit of
the power supply.
• When using current probes (701932/701933), the number of probes is limited,
depending on the measured current (the current measured by the current probes).
The characteristics of measured current versus current consumption for active probes
that can be connected to the DL9000 are as follows.
• The current consumption of the FET probe (700939) and differential probe (700924,
700925, 701920, 701921, or 701922) should be calculated as a maximum of 125 mA
for both negative and positive.
• Calculate the power consumption of the Deskew Correction S
as 150 mA (positive power supply).

3.5 Compensating the Probe (Phase Correction)
Explanation
Necessity of Phase Correction of the Probe
The probe comes with its phase corrected approximately to match the input capacitance
of the relevant oscilloscope. However, there is variance in the input resistance and input
capacitance of each input channel of individual oscilloscopes. This results in a mismatch
in the voltage divider ratio between low and high frequency signals and causes uneven
frequency characterstics.
There is a variable capacitor for adjusting the division ratio (trimmer) for high frequency
signals on the probe. The phase is corrected by adjusting this trimmer so that even
frequency characteristics are obtained.
When using the probe for the first time, make sure to perform phase correction.
Because the input capacitance varies on each channel, probe compensation is required
when the probe is switched from one channel to another.
Phase Compensation Signal
The following square wave signal is output from the signal output terminal for probe
compensation adjustment.
Frequency: Approx. 1 kHz
Amplitude: Approx. 1 V

Calibration
The following items are calibrated. Perform calibration when you wish to measure signals
with high accuracy.
• Ground level and gain of the vertical axis
• T
rigger threshold level
• Time measurement value during repetitive sampling
Note
The calibration described above is performed automatically when the power switch is turned
ON.
Precautions to Be Taken When Performing Calibration
• Always allow the instrument to warm up for at least 30 minutes after the power is
turned ON before starting calibration. If calibration is performed immediately after
the power is turned ON, the calibration may be inaccurate due to drift caused by
fluctuation in the temperature of the instrument.
• Calibration must be performed when the temperature of the in
between 5°C and 40°C (preferably at 23°C �5°C).
• Do not apply a signal when performing calibration. Calibration
incorrectly when an input signal is being applied.
Auto Calibration
Calibration is automatically performed when T/div is changed and signal acquisition is
started for the first time after the following time elapses after turning ON the power.
• 3 minutes
• 10 minutes
• 30 minutes
• 1 hour and every hour thereafter
If calibration is executed while a signal is applied to the DL9000, it is recommended that
the DL9000 be recalibrated without applying a signal.

Explanation
5.2 Setting the Offset Voltage
The setting of the offset voltage is effective for all the input couplings: AC1 MW, DC1 MW,
DC50 W, and GND.
An offset voltage can be set on input waveforms (the Select setting set to Input).
Selectable Range of Offset Voltage
Voltage Sensitivity (Probe = 1 : 1)Offset Voltage Selectable Range
2 mV/div to 50 mV/div–1.0 V to 1.0 V
0.1 V/div to 0.5 V/div–10.0Vto10.0V(–5.0Vto5.0VforDC50Ω)
1 V/div to 5 V/div–100.0 V to 100.0 V
The resolution is 0.01 divisions. For 2 mV/div, the resolution is 0.02 mV.
Resetting the Offset Value
Pressing the RESET key resets the offset value to 0 V.
Note
• If you change the probe attenuation, the offset changes proportionally to reflect the new
attenuation rate.
• The offset voltage does not change, even if you change the voltage sensitivity. However, an
offset voltage outside the above selectable range is set to the maximum or minimum value
that could be selected for the voltage sensitivity. If the voltage sensitivity is returned to its
previous value without changing the offset voltage then the offset voltage also returns to its
previous value.
