THREE DATA ACQUISITION MODES
Three different data acquisition modes make the Dash 18X
adaptable for any application. Real-time recording mode lets you
see your data in real-time while capturing continuously to the
hard drive. Scrolling waveforms show you exactly what is
happening in real-time.
Scope mode gives you the power of a Digital Storage Scope at the
tip of your fingers! Scope mode gives you a detailed, real-time view
of high frequency signals while capturing data to the hard drive in
the background.Traditional scope controls give you make it easier
than ever to look at your high-speed data.
Acquire/review mode is ideal for applications where immediate
access to captured data is important. It allows you to look back at
previously captured data without interrupting real-time recording.
You can even review and analyze captured data while still recording
to the same file.
RUGGED ENOUGH FOR ANY ENVIRONMENT
Test equipment is only useful if it will survive your most harsh
environment.With its rugged case and compact design, the
Dash 18X can handle any condition you give it.Whether you need
to gather data in a steel mill, vehicle, power plant or in the comfort
of your own office, the Dash 18X is sure to survive.
VIDEO SNAPSHOT
Simply connect a USB-compatible webcam and the Dash 18X
displays and records real-time video snapshots at one frame per
second, synchronized to the waveform data.
Video snapshots are ideal for digital picture documentation of a
test setup or subject, so “before and after” pictures can
automatically become a standard part of your testing. If an event
occurs, you have visible proof of exactly what happened.
AUDIO CAPTURE
Have you ever been in the middle of a test and wished you could
add a voice comment to your data? With the Dash 18X, you can!
Utilizing a USB-compatible microphone, voice or other audio can
be synchronously recorder with your waveform data.
AUDIO/VIDEO SYNCHRONIZATION
The Dash 18X will bring your testing to new levels with its ability
to capture audio and video snapshots along with waveform data.
Imagine being able to recreate an entire test in one system!
INTELLIGENT POWER
Have you ever lost data due to a power loss? With the Dash 18X,
you never will. If power is lost in the middle of a data acquisition,
the Dash 18X will shut down the acquisition and turn itself off.
When power is restored, the Dash 18X will power on and
immediately begin acquiring data again.
For automotive and other applications where AC power is not
available, the Dash 18X has two optional DC power input modules
(12 & 28 Volt), making it ideal for in-vehicle or remote applications.
Review mode includes post capture analysis.
Real-time mode provides you with immediate data viewing.
