Hioki Launches Memory HiCorder MR8827

Hioki is pleased to announce the launch of the Memory HiCorder MR8827. The instrument inherits the multichannel measurement capabilities of the Memory HiCorder 8826, on which it is based, while adding a variety of improvements and enhancements, including a 2000% increase in measurement sampling speed.

Principal Applications

1. Monitoring of systems at power plants and electrical substations

2. Evaluation testing during the development of transportation equipment (evaluating and testing of motors and inverters)

Key Features of the MR8827 Memory HiCorder

1. Mixed measurement of up to 92 analog and logic channels

The MR8827 can accommodate up to 16 optional input modules (for up to 32 channels), enabling measurement of up to 64 channels when its standard logic inputs are included. Equipped with optional logic input modules, it can simultaneously measure a mix of up to 92 analog and logic channels. This capability makes the MR8827 the ideal Memory HiCorder for customers with multichannel measurement needs.

Electrical isolation of inputs from the instrument and of channels from one another ensures safe measurement.

2. Measurement sampling at 20 megasample/sec., 20x faster than the legacy model

The MR8827 simultaneously samples all channels at up to 20 Msamples per second, equivalent to 20 million data measurements per second. This level of speed represents a 2000% improvement over the legacy model, which operated at a sampling speed of 1 Msamples per second.

3. Expanded measurement frequency range extending from DC to 5 MHz

When used with the Analog Unit 8966, the MR8827 features a measurement frequency range of DC to 5 MHz. This broad range, which improves on the legacy model''s range of DC to 400 kHz (when used with the 4ch Analog Unit 8946), makes the MR8827 ideal for use in applications such as motor and inverter evaluation that require high-frequency measurement.
