ASTROVIEW ® X PC-BASED REVIEW SOFTWARE
Each Dash 18X system includes AstroVIEW X, our PC-based data
review and analysis program. AstroVIEW X runs on any Windows
PC and lets you upload and review data captured from your
Dash 18X. AstroVIEW X has built-in analysis with basic
functionality and easily converts data into ASCII, Excel,
MathCAD™, DADiSP™ and other popular formats.
DASH 18X OFFLINE SOFTWARE
For complete offline setup of the Dash 18X, optional Dash 18X
Offline software runs on any PC running Windows 98, 2000 or XP. It
lets you quickly and easily set up your Dash 18X on your PC, and
transfer setups to the recorder via Ethernet, DiskOnKey or DVD.
TRANSFER DATA VIA DVD, ETHERNET, USB DRIVE, OR MODEM
The Dash 18X has an integral 10/100BaseT Ethernet port to allow
you to upload and download setups from your PC to the Dash 18X.
It can also be used to upload data files from the Dash 18X to your
PC for analysis. For remote applications, use the USB-based flash
drive or internal DVD drive to transfer setups along with data or
install a modem in the Dash 18X and download your setups via the
phone lines.
SET-UP, REVIEW AND ANALYSIS SOFTWARE
AstroVIEW X is ideal for quick data review.
Tired of carrying around external signal conditioners, isolators
or amplifiers? If you are, the Dash 18X is what you have been
searching for! With
universal inputs for
voltage, thermocouple
and DC bridge
measurements, the
Dash 18X is ready to
connect to all your
signals. Best of all,
simply enter the scaling
and units for each
channel and the Dash
18X will automatically
display your data in
those units.
VOLTAGE
The Dash 18X can handle up to 250 Vrms directly. Utilizing
shrouded banana jack connectors for safety, the Dash 18X is
designed to handle high voltage measurements.The Dash 18X can
even measure both AC and DC waveforms, with true RMS
conversion built right in!
DC BRIDGE
Perfect for a wide variety of pressure transducers and load cells,
the DC bridge input offers a variable isolated 10 V excitation
source up to 20 mA.You can balance inherent offset at the touch of
a button with the Dash 18X’s autobalance feature.
THERMOCOUPLE
The thermocouple input supports J, K, E,T and N thermocouples
and can measure in both Fahrenheit and Celsius scales. Linearization
and cold junction compensation are standard, minimizing setup time
and potential measurement error.
DSP-BASED FILTERING
Have you ever tried to record data, only to find that electronic
noise is interfering with your test? The Dash 18X offers integral
Low Pass, High Pass, Bandpass and Notch filtering, with selectable
cutoff frequencies for each. Integral frequency-to-voltage conversion
lets you perform direct frequency recordings.
REAL-TIME MATHEMATICS
With the built-in math functions of the Dash 18X, you can add,
subtract, multiply or divide different signals in real-time. Imagine, no
more waiting until after you have captured your data to see
processed signals.
