HIGH-SPEED DATA ACQUISITION
Whether you are looking for high-speed data acquisition, trend
recording or triggered data capture, the Dash 18X is powerful
enough to handle any application you have. It samples each channel
at 100 kHz per channel up to 18 channels, so you’ll never miss an
important event. And unlike PC-based data acquisition systems, the
Dash 18X is not dependent on Windows ® for data capture, so you
are assured full bandwidth recording all the time.
VARIABLE SAMPLE RATES
The Dash 18X lets you set the sample rate anywhere from one
sample per minute up to 100,000 samples per second.Whether
you’re measuring slow-speed signals such as temperature, pressure
or humidity or fast transients or glitches, you can adjust the
Dash 18X’s sample rate to optimize disk space. Even better, the
Dash 18X can be set to capture different signals at different rates,
for the most efficient recording.
SCOPE CAPTURE
High speed, scope captures can be captured in the background
while data is continuously captured to the hard drive. Imagine being
able to capture slow-speed data, while at the same time, capture
high-speed transients at a higher resolution.The Dash 18X even
embeds scope captures in your data acquisition files, so you can
review high-speed and trend data with time synchronization.
ACQUIRE/REVIEW MODE
The Dash 18X lets you review previously acquired data while still
recording new data to the hard drive.You can even make
measurements and perform analysis without interrupting
on-going data recording. Applications include long-term monitoring,
trend analysis, endurance testing and troubleshooting
intermittent problems.
The Dash 18X even allows captured data files to be uploaded to
your PC while another capture is in progress, giving you immediate
access to your data without interrupting data acquisition.
ON-BOARD ANALYSIS
The Dash 18X has built-in analysis capability, ideal for applications
where access to a PC and office are luxuries! Imagine being able to
view, acquire and print your data with one system, letting you to
make intelligent decisions on the spot.
The Dash 18X includes a number of functions to let you quickly
analyze your data. From simple peak detection and post-capture
filtering to more advanced statistical and frequency analysis, the
Dash 18X has it all.
INTELLIGENT ACQUISITION
The Dash 18X can capture data based on user defined trigger conditions, letting you capture
exactly the data you want to see.You can stack thousands of captures on the hard drive, ideal for
unattended, triggered operation. Each Dash 18X offers pre- and post-trigger memory storage, so
you can program it to show you what caused an event, what followed an event, or both.With
pre-trigger percentage selectable from 0 to 99 percent, you can tailor each capture specifically to
the application.
Scope captures can be embedded in data captures.
