1.1 Major Features
(1) Waveform collection performance
Using the 8950 ANALOG UNIT, the 8951 VOLTAGE/CURRENT UNIT,
and the 8952 DC/RMS UNIT with the 8855, it is possible to record
waveforms at 20 MS/s with a resolution of 12 bits.
Furthermore, using the 8953-10 HIGH RESOLUTION UNIT, it is possible to
record waveforms at 1 MS/s with a resolution of 16 bits.
Using the 8954 VOLTAGE/TEMP UNIT in combination with the 8855, it is
possible to record temperature.
Using the 8955 F/V UNIT in combination with the 8855, it is possible to
measure items such as frequency.
Regardless of the input module, it is possible to record waveforms on up to
8 channels, simultaneously.
(2) High-resolution display
The 8855 is equipped with a 10.4-inch (800 x 600 pixels) TFT color LCD,
and can display waveforms with great precision.
Because both the values and gauge can be displayed simultaneously, it is
easy to confirm waveform measurements directly on-screen.
(3) Measurement functions
Memory with a maximum sampling speed of 50 ns (simultaneous recording
on all channels).
If using the optional printer module, it is possible to output real-time
recordings on recording paper.
(4) Storage capacity
The 8855 has a standard storage capacity of 32 M words, expandable to 128
M or 512 Mwords with memory upgrades.
(5) Trigger function
Digital trigger circuit
Trigger types: level trigger, window-in trigger, window-out trigger, period
trigger, glitch trigger, event trigger, logic trigger (pattern trigger)
(6) Diverse observation functions
The 8855 can calculate such values as the average, maximum, and absolute
values, as well as perform arithmetic calculations.
The time and value of the cursor can be calculated for all channels.
(7) Search function
You can set criteria and search through captured waveforms.
(8) GUI display
The GUI-inspired (Graphical User Interface) design, which uses both
graphical and textual representation on the function key display, makes the
instrument easier to configure and operate.
