Real-time data charting with
historical review
Chart the real-time data of up
to four channels at once. Simply
select your channels and view real
time charts of your measurements.
The chart will auto scale for best
fit of the displayed values. Zoom
in or out to view areas of inter-
est with the push of a button. A
history mode enables you to scroll
through previously collected data
within the scan file…all with-
out a PC and expensive charting
programs.
Language support
All displayed text in the menus
and data display area are trans-
lated to eight languages. You can
change the language under the
instrument setup area with the
push of a button. French, Span-
ish, Japanese, German, Korean,
English, Portuguese, Chinese and
Russian are all supported lan-
guages in the 2638A.
Screen capture function
With one key push on the front
panel, you can capture the screen
contents of the 2638A directly to
the USB drive in .jpg file format.
Capture trend chart results or
data displays for reports or just
closer review.
Two alarms per channel
Each channel can be set for two
alarm points: High-High, High-Low
or Low-Low, in any combination.
The 2638A then compares the set
points during each scan. An out-
of-range value is reported on the
main display and data files. You
can also assign any alarm point to
any of six TTL alarm outputs.
Math channels
Each channel measurement can
be set to scale and record your
measurement using mx+b gain
and offset calculations that are
available during your channel
setup menu. In addition, each
2638A mainframe has 20 internal
math channels with alarm set-
tings for more complex calculations
that record results to your data file
during each scan. Each channel
result can be used as a variable in
another math channel calculation.
DMM mode adds
functionality and value
The Hydra Series III is based on a
6.5 digit (22-bit) precision digital
multimeter measurement engine
with exceptional measurement
quality and resolution—so when
you are not using your Hydra to
collect multi-channel data, you can
use it as a precision digital mul-
timeter. Front-panel “DMM-style”
input jacks and dedicated DMM
menu selections enable you to
measure dc voltage, dc resistance,
ac voltage, ac resistance, Ohms,
frequency, and temperature (ther-
mocouples, RTDs and thermistors).
Record DMM measurements to a
separate DMM data file for later
viewing. The 2638A also displays
measurement statistics and graphs
measurements right on the main
display.
USB and internal memory
The Hydra Series III features 20 mb
on-board memory for storing over
57,000 data records and con-
figuration files. In addition to this
large on-board memory, a built-in
USB port is available to collect
and store large files directly to a
USB flash drive. An on-board file
management menu makes moving
data files or configuration files
from internal or USB memory to
your PC easy.
