BIG 17-INCH TOUCH-SCREEN DISPLAY

Operation of the Dash 18X is quick and easy with the intuitive

touch-screen display. Icon-based and menu-driven operation

provides for straightforward setup and operation.There are no

switches, push-buttons or other controls – simply touch the screen

and the Dash 18X will handle the rest!

HIGH-SPEED DATA ACQUISITION

The Dash 18X captures 18 channels of data continuously to a

dedicated 73 GByte hard drive at a sample rate of 100 kHz per

channel.That translates to hours of continuous data capture, even

at the highest sample rates! Best of all, set the Dash 18X for

long-term trend recording at sample rates as low as one sample

per minute for months of unattended data acquisition.

PC COMPATIBLE

The Dash 18X gives you a number of ways to get data to your PC

for analysis. Connect the Dash 18X to an Ethernet network and

immediately upload your data to your PC. USB-based Flash drives

and an internal DVD+R drive let you carry data from a remote

location to your computer. Free viewing, analysis and conversion

software enables you to analyze your data instantly.

UNIVERSAL INPUTS

The universal inputs in the Dash 18X let you connect almost any

signal without using external signal conditioning.With high voltage,

temperature, DC Bridge and frequency inputs, most signals can

connect directly to the Dash 18X. Since each input can be

independently set up for any type of signal, it’s like having an

unlimited combination of signal conditioners!

IRIG TIME DECODING

For applications requiring external time correlation, the Dash 18X

offers an optional IRIG decoding module.This module decodes

IRIG A, B, H and NASA 36 time codes, providing high-speed time

synchronization of your data.

OPTIONAL STRIP CHART RECORDER

If you ever have a need for a real-time or post-capture strip chart

output, the Dash 18X chart recorder is the perfect solution.

Designed to be quickly attached to the main unit, it provides hard

copy output wherever and whenever you need it.Take it to the

field for on-location printing of vital data, or leave it in your office

to print out certain parts of your test when you return.

In today’s work environment, you need to be ready to test at a moment’s notice.You need a system that will

handle all of your recording requirements in one instrument, so you don’t have to carry a scope, a meter, a

data recorder, a datalogger and an audio recorder.The Dash 18X gives you all of this in a system with the

footprint of a laptop computer.

Are you tired of systems that promise you the world but forget to tell you about all the configuration and

programming involved in setting up their system? If you are, take a look at the Dash 18X – the “ready-to-go”

system for your most demanding applications.
