yokogawa goes 12 bit

Bud:
Yokogawa is notoriously known on the second hand market  for unavailability of service manuals for their test equipment, that is why no sane person was buying their used gear other than for parts scavenging.

I think that is a sales strategy to make it elite... so kind of like a fancy suit for your laboratories lol

I doubt it shows up much in academia because well, it does not really do anything better, or save you money, but it might 'convince' people

i never felt better about it over omega, just scared of what certain people with strong opinions might think. it seemed to be a way to close an avenue to 'quality improvement' harassment from bigger companies


I got annoyed by the prices, because it seemed not to fix anything that was actually happening, so the money was going essentially to shore up things that don't need shoring instead of shoring things that need shoring, but it seemed to keep the peace between certain parties, despite not really doing anything (aka not a design improvement or a manufacturing process change that resulted in increased output or reliability). What ever it was meant to improve or prevent, that fault would get picked up some where else, guaranteed, making it somewhat frivolous, because there were mad obvious problems that should have been focused on.. a mind numbing decision


so external quality people see a problem that is a problem in their rulebook, it has no effect really. we have problems that are obvious to us but the quality people are playing their guidebook and they don't see it, or its hard to understand. the result is buying alot of yokogawas and calling it a improvement...? i think of that more like paying for landscaping, ok its nice?


but there is another factor, there is just not that much competition with AC power analyzer scopes. its a solid option due to the market being as it is, but I don't feel that way about them on the PLC market. maybe is better if you have like hundreds of them and its crashing a giant assembly line. but for small amounts its hard to stomach that purchase (in cost/benefit). If there is a shit load of them the problem that can be started by a down PLC is so bad that its worth paying a shitload more. But unless you have people running around with carts full of PLC, I can't rationalize not just buying a spare omega! And for facotries they often want spares ANYWAY, so unless small downtime is absolutely not tolerable, you end up paying ALOT to have it in your ISO process. Like you can get written up for not having spares around in a inspection. So the reliability is almost moot unless its super bad or super sensitive.


but the bottom line is, yokogawa some how ends up being a solid choice for reasons of peoples opinion, which you can't get away from, even if its nuutty, given the status quo.. those clueless quality people are NOT going away lol
ArdWar:
I got access to DLM3000. To this day I yet to figure out how to use the serial decoder, or if it is even usable at all.

Also, I see here they still retain the f*ck*ng annoying joystick center click as enter button. Missed the center? off you go clicking something else who knows what.
