REAL-TIME DISPLAY
The Dash 18X has a 17-inch color touch-screen display for
displaying waveform data, the largest display on any portable
instrument.With 1280 x 1024 resolution, the display provides the
clearest and most accurate waveform representation available while
at the same time, simplifying Dash 18X setup.
View up to 18 waveforms simultaneously in discrete, overlap, or
your own custom designed format. Choose different colors for
each waveform for instant visual identification.Waveforms can even
change color when an alarm threshold is exceeded.
TOUCH-SCREEN INTERFACE
Once data is acquired, the touch-screen makes it easier than ever
to review data and make measurements.You can scroll through
your data at the touch of a button, allowing you to quickly find
important events. For quick measurements, simply touch the
screen to activate on-screen cursors for amplitude, timing and
other information.
ON-SCREEN WAVEFORM INFORMATION
The Dash 18X provides all the information you need to allow you
to make a quick assessment of your data. Use the real-time
multimeter function to display instantaneous values of your
waveforms. Channel limits give you a quick indication of top and
bottom grid values for each channel and each channel can be
uniquely identified with its own alphanumeric label.
For many applications, waveform data alone isn’t enough to tell the
whole story. Often there is an audible or visual cue that determines
the cause of a problem.With the Dash 18X, you can record it all,
allowing you to see and hear exactly what happened!
The built-in touch-screen and the intuitive graphical user interface make the Dash 18X one of
the easiest instruments you’ll ever use.The interface is completely customizable, allowing you
to design controls that even the most casual user can understand. If you forget how to use a
particular function, on-line help will step you through the operation.
Touch-screen interface simplifies operation.
The Dash 18X is portable enough for in-vehicle applications.
