The technology that rendered signals such as voltage, electric current and temperature as visible waveforms has progressed dramatically since its breakthrough in 1970. In 1979, this technology materialized into what is now known as the electromagnetic oscilloscope, furthering the development of waveform analysis. To minimize running costs, Model 8101 Solid HiCORDER representing the electrical discharge type of measurement, was released. However, as needs diversified together with the age, the pressure was on to develop a new type of recording instrument. To answer this demand, the new 8860 MEMORY HiCORDER representing the new generation of memory recorders was born, uniting the data logging and digital oscilloscope functions for both trend observation and high speed data capture all in one single instrument. HIOKI is once again proud to be the recipient of the 2005 Good Design Award for our new 8860 MEMORY HiCORDER, and will strive to continue this long tradition in the years to come.
