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/jp/library/
• This option can control a single ECU 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
For the functional restrictions of each license, see the Installation Manual, IM IS8000-04EN.

The ECU Monitor Synchronization Option is a software application that displays waveforms
measured by a waveform measuring instrument and RAM data acquired by an ECU monitor in sync
based on a sample clock and enables analysis of the data.
The sample clock generated by the measuring instrument is applied to the ECU monitor.
The waveforms and RAM data are displayed in sync on a PC monitor by loading the measured
waveform data and the ECU monitor’s RAM data.
If the ECU monitor is a RAMScope, initialize all settings related to RAM-value measurements using
RAMscope V/VP, and then perform operations on the IS8000.
1 For information on compatible ECU monitors, see section 4.1 in this manual.
2 For information on compatible YOKOGAWA waveform measuring instruments, see section 4.3 in this
manual.
