Notes on Usage
Notes on Using This Option
• This option can be used on two PCs per license. It can be used on two PCs simultaneously.
• To allow communication between a DL950 (hereafter referred to as the measuring instrument)
and a PC through its USB interface, you need to install a dedicated USB driver in the PC. For
details, see the Installation Manual, IM IS8000-04EN.
You can download the USB driver from the following web page:
https://tmi.yokogawa.com/library/
• This option can control a single high-speed camera and a measuring instrument.
• It is not possible to connect to the same measuring instrument from multiple PCs at the same
time.
• When you connect a measuring instrument to a PC and use this option to control the instrument,
you cannot use multiple types of communication interface at the same time.
• Do not perform panel operations on the measuring instrument while data is being recorded.
• The option may not be able to continue if the PC enters standby or hibernation mode. Disable
standby and hibernation modes when you use the software.
• If a connection error occurs, turn off the measuring instrument and then turn it back on.
Feature Restrictions

The High-speed Camera Synchronization Option is a video and waveform viewer software that
displays waveforms measured by a waveform measuring instrument and video shot by a high-
speed camera in sync based on triggers and enables analysis of the data.
The trigger signal and sample clock generated by the measuring instrument is applied to the high-
speed camera.
The waveforms and video are displayed in sync on a PC monitor by loading the measured
waveform data and the high-speed camera’s video and shooting information data.
1 For information on compatible high-speed cameras, see section 5.1 in this manual.
2 For information on compatible YOKOGAWA waveform measuring instruments, see section 5.3 in this
manual.
3 The maximum size of a video data file (.avi) that can be loaded from a camera into the PC is less than
4 GB. A video data file greater than 4 GB can be loaded using offline synchronization.

Video frames of the high-speed camera are recorded in sync with the sample clock received from
the measurement instrument.
When the measurement instrument triggers, it measures the waveform and at the same time
outputs a trigger signal to the camera. The camera records video and shooting information before
and after this trigger output.
Saved Range
Range of Saved Waveform Data
The range of waveform data that is saved is the recording time (T/div×10) of the DL950
measurement instrument (the range between points A and B). Set this longer than the video to
be saved.
For details on the number of waveform data points that can be saved and measurement
conditions using online synchronization, see appendix 2 in the User’s Manual, IM IS8000-01EN.
Range of Saved Video
The range of video that is saved is the range between the pre-trigger frame and post-trigger
frame (the range between points C and D) specified on the camera in reference to the trigger
frame. Set the number of frames so that the pre-trigger frame and post-trigger frame fit
between the pre-trigger and post-trigger of the measured waveform.
