yokogawa goes 12 bit

[Anthocyanina]

I came across this video from Yokogawa. It was apparently a livestream showcasing their new 12 bit DLM5000HD scopes:



There doesn't seem to be much about yokogawa scopes out there, much less of these 12 bit ones. Are they only big in japan? i really like their scope design, and they seem to be pretty high end, like on par with Rohde & Schwarz/Keysight/Tek, but they also seem to be pretty obscure, at least in the english-speaking world, why is that? hmmm!

Anyway, this scope looks really cool, too bad that they streamed from like 2005 and so you can't see too much of the 12 bit-ness in the video

It looks very nice.

They are also well-known here, they are professional suppliers, they don't have anything cheap in their range.
Prices are only available on request.
We have paperless data recorders and a 16 channel "oscilloscope" from them, the quality is excellent.
The DLM5000HD will also be excellent and has nothing to hide.
Down-to-earth data such as 500Mhz and max 2.5GSa/s, but 1Gpt memory - the ones from Yokogawa are simply analysis cracks.

You can have fun and ask for a price...

a few years ago i came across their vertical layout scopes, and absolutely loved the design, but also couldn't find any reviews or anything out there, so i contacted them out of curiosity about where i could get one of those, and they also gave me a quote of ~8k usd for i think the 200MHz model?  but about this one, i'll pretend it's around the same to keep the daydreams alive

it would be fun to see a proper video review of one of their scopes.

this video from the olden times shows one of their vertical layout scopes in action, but it seems to be the only yokogawa scope review on youtube

I still have my DL1540 - which has ultra-nice handling and requires only limited desktop space. Plus it can be carried around like an old Macintosh. Can't beat that armada of selenoids clicking into the right settings
That thing is packed with electronics, they certainly know how to build advanced instruments.
Unfortunately, it is *loud*, so it got replaced by a Rigol. (Which is not silent either, but much more on the "OK"-level.)
Unfiortunately (2), these are very expensive, waaaay out of my budget.
