Not sure the cause of the lockups.  PZ4000 has a higher bandwidth 
(10Mhz if memory is right), 12 bit A/D and is more akin to a 
"bandwidth limited" digitizing oscilloscope.  I assume shielded 
cable(s) were used for input lines?

Only failure we ever had with Yokogawa equipment was a "HARD" failure
(no displays, "lights out-nobody's home" scenario).  Which is good for
preventing taking questionable measurements in a production environment.
