Description
|
Easy recording anytime, anywhere!
Hioki's traditional Memory HiCorder functions are now condensed into a lowprofile, turn-key device. The compact design includes a beautiful wide-screen QVGA-TFT LCD. Easy to use, with great functionality and performance, you will want to keep this extraordinarily compact MEMORY HiCorder close to hand.
The new 8870-20 builds on the good reputation earned by the Hioki compact (B5-size) Memory HiCorder (Model 8807-01). Hioki has further miniaturized HiCorder volume by 40% for this new palm-sized model. Weight has also been reduced by about 55% from the earlier model, to 600 grams, but the new instrument nevertheless offers powerful analysis capabilities for abnormal waveforms, resulting in a handy, but high performance device that is portable and convenient enough to take along to onsite surveys and remote measurement locations.
Measurement inputs consist of two isolated analog channels and four logic channels rated at 400 V DC. High-speed recording is provided by a maximum sampling rate of one megasample per second. Two Megawords of (12-bit) internal memory is built-in, and data is saved to a CF card (up to 1 GB capacity) for display and analysis on a personal computer. An external USB 2.0 port is included for direct transfer of data from the installed CF card to the computer. (The 8870-20 appears like an external drive on your PC.)

Features In Detail
- Compact design for easy portability
The ultra-compact design has only 40% of the volume of its predecessor MEMORY HiCorder 8807-01, and weight has been reduced to just 600 grams. The new 8870-20 fits inconspicuously a briefcase, so it can easily be carried even on overseas business trips.
- Simple, intuitive operation
The "Settings Navigator" feature easily guides the user through operations, usually without need to refer to the instruction manual. Target waveforms can be reliably captured using only simple memory recorder functions. Pull-down menus provide easy access to settings while viewing input signal levels and waveforms.
- Easy PC connection
Connect the MEMORY HiCorder to a personal computer using the supplied USB cable to easily transfer data that has been automatically saved to the CF card. Use the bundled Windows application program to display and print waveforms from the PC. CSV file conversion is provided for displaying measurement data in Excel spreadsheets. USB 2.0 compliance supports high-speed data transfers.
- Ultra-compact instrument with high-speed recording at 1 MS/s
The compact design includes a large two-Megaword (12-bit) internal memory and supports high-speed recording at up to 1 Megasample per second. Reliably capture waveforms of interest to analyze anomalies.
- Includes built-in, compact-but-sharp wide QVGA-TFT LCD screen
The high-resolution 4.3-inch WQVGA-TFT waveform monitoring screen, similar to those used in popular video game consoles, has already received praise from many sources for its excellent visibility, despite its small size.
- Record high voltage and large current (two isolated measurement channels)
MEMORY HiCorder 8870-20 supports measurements up to 400V DC by itself, and records waveforms up to 2000V DC and 1000V AC when using the HIOKI Differential Probe Model 9322, as well as current measurements up to 1000A AC when using a clamp sensor.
