MEMORY HiCORDER 8855
Digital Oscilloscope
For analyzing power control system operation, digital circuits, and transient power
Extended memory! An oscilloscope with 8 isolated channels
High-speed sampling and expanded memory are essential for simultaneously
observing switching carrier waveforms and basic waveforms. Furthermore,
greater memory has been requested by users to allow measurement of sporadic
and unpredictable events and signals that cannot be triggered. The 20 MS/s
high-speed sampling and a memory capacity of up to 512 megawords (1 GB,
optional) of the MEMORY HiCORDER 8855 makes it the best-equipped
isolated digital oscilloscope on the market, and the ideal instrument to search for
and analyze anomalous waveforms.

- Application Examples Inverter switching waveforms
Automobile research and development
The 8855 can be used to observe various inverter
waveforms. To provide stable measurement of
voltage waveforms, the 8855 uses high-frequency,
noise-resistant CMRR and maintains high floating
voltages with isolated inputs. When observing
current waveforms, you can install a special
amplifier unit for current measurement that allows
you to use a supersensitive, broadband clamp-on
probe to perform measurements
without breaking the electric
circuit.
When performing engine characterization analysis,
the 8855 is ideally-suited to measuring waveforms
derived from boost pressure, oil pressure, air-fuel
ratio, ignition timing, rotation speed, or injector
opening. The 8855 also has an expanded memory
for storing large quantities of data taken in various
conditions. The 8855 can be used to observe
pressure waveforms, such as those for fuel injection
lines or jet pumps, and then compare them with
standard waveforms.
All measurement data
can be stored in installed
internal memory.
Because of the large
amount of free memory,
you can acquire
waveforms over an
extended period.

temperature, pressure,
vibration, rotation speed,
etc.
Engine
I want to observe carrier and basic waveforms
simultaneously with high-speed switching, such
as inverter waveforms
I'd like to view waveforms that occur during the 5
seconds after the power is turned on and the device
stabilizes
I'd like to observe the load fluctuation waveforms
that result when power is turned on or off
simultaneously with the control logic signals
I want to record data for all sporadic abnormalities
that occur during automobile testing without using
triggers
HIOKI has met these requests by providing the
MEMORY HiCORDER 8855 with isolated input for
all channels, a sampling rate of up to 20 MS/s, digital
conversion with a resolution of 12 bits, and the ability
to measure up to 8 analog and 16 control logic channels
simultaneously.
In response to these requests, the MEMORY HiCORDER
8855 supports large-capacity memory, which can be
expanded to up to 512 megawords (1 GB). Even at a sampling
rate of 20MS/s, the 8855 can record for up to 12.8 seconds
(2 channels, with a maximum of 256 megawords/channel) of
data.
Compatible with F/V and temperature input
Zoom function
Use the optional F/V conversion input unit
to observe control and rotation signals as
waveforms, or the temperature input unit for
thermocouple measurements. Depending on
your application needs, select from a wide
array of input units to configure your ideal
measurement system.
When observing waveforms using an analog
oscilloscope, you can slow down the sweep rate
to view the entire waveform or speed it up to
zoom in on the waveform. However, you can
only observe enlarged waveforms following a
trigger point. As you observe waveforms, you
can use the zoom function to enlarge selected
points on the waveforms.
Recorder and memory function
(available from version 2.00 of this unit)
When recording envelope waveforms in
recorder mode, the 8855 can be used to capture
sporadic signal waveforms in memory mode.
20 MS/s high-speed sampling for all channels using isolated input
- Functions Can I use the 8855 to measure high voltages,
such as inverter output ?
When measuring the difference in electrical potential
between two signals that have a large overlapping common
mode voltage, electric shock may result if you are not
using a measurement unit with completely insulated input
channels like the MEMORY HiCORDER 8855. Further,
when measuring signals with a superimposed common
mode voltage that includes high frequency components,
such as inverter control and switching power circuit
signals, the frequency characteristics for the common
mode removal comparison of the insulated area greatly
affect the measurement results. For example, when using
the ANALOG UNIT 8950, the peak-to-peak value for all
waveform data can be measured or displayed in a range
configuration of up to 280 V RMS using the memory
function. If you want to measure voltages that exceed 280
V, you can use the optional DIFFERENTIAL PROBE
9322 to measure voltages up to 2000 V DC or 1000 V AC.
Because a maximum voltage to ground of 1500 V AC/DC
(CAT II) is possible, you can measure the common mode
voltage for larger systems than before.
Using the DIFFERENTIAL PROBE 9322
The POWER CORD 9328
(when connected to the power plug
of the 9322 and the 12-V output
connection of the input unit)
Three-phase inverter output system
(Since the electric potential of the emitter is different for each phase, floating measurement is indispensable.)
Measuring the surge noise for power lines (using the DIFFERENTIAL PROBE 9322 in AC mode)
If you select AC as the output mode, the signal connected to AC is divided to 1/1000 inside the probe
and output. Because the frequency range can be set between 1 kHz and 10 MHz, the output waveform is
displayed only when a voltage signal that includes a high waveform component is input, such as surge noise
superimposed on a 50/60 Hz commercial power line. Therefore, the 8855 can be used primarily to detect
noise, as well as to measure the height of waves.
Rectified RMS voltages can be output (using the DIFFERENTIAL PROBE 9322 in RMS mode)
When RMS is selected as the output mode, the input signal voltage is divided to 1/1000, then true RMS
value rectification is performed, and the DC voltage output. RMS value rectification is performed by
analog circuitry, and because the bandwidth extends from 40 Hz to 100 kHz, signals that include harmonic
components can be accurately converted to RMS values not only for 50/60 Hz commercial power lines, but
for other waveforms containing harmonics, such as inverter output waveforms.
Can I observe distorted current, such as that of inverter output ?
Observation of distorted current is possible when using the 8855
in combination with the VOLTAGE/CURRENT UNIT 8951 and
a clamp-on probe or clamp-on sensor. Especially when using the
CLAMP ON PROBEs 3273-50, 3274, 3275, or 3276, you can
accurately observe current waveforms ranging from very small
to very large with a highly linear response for current frequencies
from DC voltage to high frequencies.

Using the trigger function during data capture and the
trigger search function after data has been captured
The trigger function allows you to set various conditions
for input waveforms in order to capture waveform
anomalies. It is convenient for analyzing the causes of
anomalies, since a pretrigger can be set, enabling you to
observe waveforms before starting the trigger search. In
contrast to above, this function allows you to search for
and display anomalous waveforms in captured data using
the same criteria used for the trigger function during
measurement. If triggers cannot be set during measurement
because you do not know what sort of waveforms will be
displayed, you can search for anomalies using the trigger
search function once all of the data has been captured.

trigger point.
Use the 8855 to capture power line noise:
In order to capture events such as impulse noise caused by lightning strikes and the opening and closing of solenoids,
and voltage surge noise (voltage swells) caused by switching power lines with heavy loads, the 8855 comes equipped
with window out trigger and glitch trigger functions.
Use the 8855 to capture instantaneous power outages on power lines:
Using the window out trigger and trigger filter functions, you can capture instantaneous power outages due to events
such as lightning strikes and breaker trippage due to short circuits.

Perfect for inspecting storage media such as CDs, MOs, DVDs, and HDDs
- Application Examples Analyzing operation of digital A/V equipment
When equipped with its maximum memory capacity, the 8855 is useful for
designing and analyzing digital A/V, communications, and informationrelated equipment, and for inspecting production lines. By observing
high-speed logic signals and analog waveforms simultaneously, you can
determine the control sequence at a glance.
Observing signals from magnetic data
Single-track data, such as that on hard disks,
can be batch recorded into
the long memory and then
scanned for corrupted bits.
When maintaining or inspecting equipment that
uses magnetic cards (such as the automated
wickets at railway stations), the data read can be
batch recorded and anomalies observed using the
waveform search or zoom functions.
Railway car defect analysis
All data for current waveforms of the main power
motor and correlating waveforms of relay signals
can be recorded on the 8855. Print the data using
the optional printer.

HIOKI has met these requests by providing the MEMORY
HiCORDER 8855 with isolated input for all channels, a
sampling rate of up to 20 MS/s, digital conversion with
a resolution of 12 bits, and the ability to measure up to 8
analog and 16 control logic channels simultaneously.
In response to these requests, the MEMORY HiCORDER 8855
supports large-capacity memory. The memory of the 8855 can be
expanded to up to 512 megawords (1 GB). Even at a samping
rate of 20MS/s, the 8855 can record for up to 12.8 seconds (2
channels, with a maximum of 256 megawords/channel)
1 MS/s and 16-bit high resolution
Sequential saves assures minimal dead time
With the 8855, measurement can be stored with
a resolution of 16 bits. This allows more precise
verification of signal waveforms. With its high
sampling speec of 1 MS/s, the 8855 can be used
for detailed signal analysis.
This function allows you to divide a large
amount of free memory into small blocks
and save the waveforms from each trigger in
these blocks. Reducing the amount of dead
time during sequential saves means that
continuously occurring triggers are not missed.
(Minimum setting of approximately 1 ms)
FFT function
(available with version 2.00 of this unit)
FFT capabilities include single-signal FFT for
spectral analysis, two-signal FFT for transfer
function analysis, and octave analysis for
acoustic analysis. This is a very convenient
function because FFT analysis can be performed
for any portion of an extended waveform
captured by the memory recorder.

Measure Power Abnormalities During Power ON/OFF or Load Fluctuations
Introducing Power Monitoring Using the FUNCTION UP DISK 9549
Voltage, current, and power waveforms on the secondary side of an inverter
Display of power and other parameters (calculated)
By installing the power monitor function in the MEMORY
HiCORDER 8855, you can monitor power transient waveforms
and view power trend graphs. Use of this function requires the
optional FUNCTION UP DISK 9549, which is sold separately.
Input units that can be used with this function are the ANALOG
UNIT 8950 and the DC/RMS UNIT 8952. For current input,
you can use either the VOLTAGE/CURRENT UNIT 8951, or the
CLAMP ON PROBE 3273 -50 /3274/3275/3276. (The 9270 Series
can also be used.)
Calculated power results for all acquired waveforms or the
span selected with the A-B cursors can be displayed on the
screen as a list. A full 4 channels are available for each of
voltage and current, allowing measurement of one 3-phase,
3-wire system, or one single-phase, 2-wire system.
Calculated results can be displayed either as numerics only
(as shown above), or as a numeric overlay in a waveform
screen like that shown at left.
Excess power during inverter power-on operation
Power Measurement Settings Screen
You can display a variety of waveforms accompanying inverter
startup, including transient (excess) power waveforms and
trend graphs (fluctuation waveforms).
Together with its noise-resistant CMRR characteristic, the
high floating voltage maintained by the 8855's isolated input
assures stable observation of voltage waveforms. Observation
of current is possible using the 8855 in combination with the
appropriate voltage/current input unit and a clamp-on probe
or clamp-on sensor.
This makes it easy to measure power surges occurring when
power is turned on that cannot be measured with ordinary
power meters.
There is no need to set up complicated operations, such as
calculations for waveform processing involving the memory
function. All that is needed is to select the connect mode and a
waveform type of either instantaneous or variable.
A connection check function is provided to help you determine
whether the connection method is correct.

Power monitor function
Instantaneous power waveform display
Trend graph display
This function works with the single -phase
t wo -wir e, single - pha se thr e e -wir e, thr e e phase three-wire, three-phase four-wire and
DC connection modes, making it possible to
measure systems ranging from four singlephase two-wire systems, to a combination of
one three-phase four wire system + one singlephase two-wire system. Calculations can be
performed on partial waveforms selected for all
waveforms in storage by using the A-B cursors,
and results can be displayed in a single screen.
Numeric results can be displayed as overlays in
the waveform screens.
This function multiplies captured voltage and
current waveforms and displays the result as an
instantaneous power waveform. (Display in real-time
is possible through hardware integration processing
for speed ranges up to 10 ms/DIV. For faster ranges,
power waveform display is calculated after first
storing waveforms in memory.) Power waveform
display allows up to 8 waveforms to be displayed
in addition to voltage and current waveforms, and
a total of up to 16 waveforms can be displayed
simultaneously (8 voltage/current channels, and
8 power waveforms). Using the appropriate input
units, values such as temperature and frequency can
be simultaneously observed on channels for which
power calculations are not being performed.
Using this function, you can do calculations
using voltage and current waveforms stored
i n m e m o r y, a n d d i s p l a y t h e r e s u l t s a s
voltage, current, or power trend graphs. This
enables you to per form detailed analyses
on the transient power segments, such as
when a device is powered on or during load
fluctuations.
