Yokogawa 3088-21 Hybrid Recorder

The Yokogawa 3088-21 Hybrid Recorder is a microprocessor-controlled multi-channel data acquisition and recording instrument designed for industrial process monitoring and control. It accepts inputs from up to 30 channels, processes DC voltage, thermocouple, and RTD signals, and outputs simultaneous analog trace and digital data printouts in six distinct colors via a high-speed wire-dot printer. The unit provides programmable control over full-scale ranges, chart speeds, alarms, and clock settings through a front-panel keyboard, enabling efficient multi-channel data analysis across diverse industrial automation applications.
