HIOKI MR8880 Memory HiCorder

Hioki Memory HiCorders are high-speed waveform monitoring and recording devices that can simultaneously measure multiple quick-changing phenomena due to complete isolation between channels and from each channel to the ground. The MR8880 is a data acquisition (DAQ) recorder built in with 4 analog channels that can accept direct input of 600V, enabling measurements of 3-phase systems.

Measuring Current Waveforms: How to Use Hioki Memory HiCorders
Learn how to use the Hioki MR8880’s trigger function to definitively record the startup current when a motor is powered on.
Pre-trigger settings let you capture details about the situation before and after the trigger is activated, and numerical data of the peak current waveform can be easily identified using the built-in cursor functions.

Key Features

Note: Input cords and Battery Pack are not included. Purchase the cords appropriate for your application separately. Printer Unit MR9000 is optional and sold separately.

Recording PLC Timing: How to Use Hioki Memory HiCorders

Watch this video to learn how to use logic probes to analyze the timing of control signals via the 8 logic and 4 analog channels built-in to the Hioki MR8880. Based on the AND / OR settings, the MR8880’s trigger will activate with respect to the specified logic level. Pre-trigger settings let you capture details about the situation before and after the trigger is activated.

Recording Voltage Drop During a Power Outage: How to Use Hioki Memory HiCorders
Watch this video to learn how to easily detect when a voltage drop on the commercial power supply will occur by using the trigger function on a Hioki Memory HiCorder and setting the peak waveform level as the voltage level. The waveforms can also be automatically printed onsite and saved to portable external media for later analysis on a PC.
