Combine waveforms, video, audio and analysis in a "take-it-anywhere" system
In today's work environment, you need to be ready to test at a moment's notice. You need a system that will handle all of your recording requirements in one instrument, so you don't have to bring a scope, meter, data recorder, datalogger and audio recorder. The Dash 18X gives you all of this in a system with the footprint of a laptop computer.

With 18 universal inputs for voltage, thermocouple and bridge signals, you'll never have to worry about having the right signal conditioning. And the Dash 18X's large real-time waveform display, internal hard drive for capturing data, integral PC connectivity and optional chart recorder, give you data in any format that you want. With audio and video snapshot recording - synchronized to waveform data - the Dash 18X ensures that you will capture all aspects of your test.

Big 17" Touchscreen Display
Operation of the Dash 18X is quick and easy with the intuitive touch-screen display. Familiar Windows® icons and menus provide for straightforward setup and operation. There are no switches, push-buttons or other controls -complete operation is from the touchscreen. And, you can easily customize it to fit your exact needs.

High-Speed Data Acquisition
The Dash 18X captures 18 channels of data continuously to a dedicated 73 GByte hard drive at a sample rate of 100 kHz per channel, meaning you'll never have to worry about missing the details in your high-speed glitches or transients. For long-term trend recording, the Dash 18X allows you to set the sample rate as low as one sample per minute for days, weeks or even months of recording. The flexible Dash 18X allows you to choose the sample rate that is best for your application, meaning that you never have to acquire too much or too little data.

Three Data Acquisition Modes
Three different data acquisition modes of the Dash 18X make it adaptable for any application. Choose real-time recording mode to display your waveforms while capturing to the hard drive. Signals are displayed on the large, color display, giving you instant data visibility. Scrolling waveforms show you exactly what your signals are doing in real-time.

Use the scope mode for high-speed signals requiring greater timebase resolution. 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 the quickest and easiest way 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. The Dash 18X makes it easier than ever before to review and analyze your data while still recording!

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! The audio, video and waveform data is synchronized, allowing a more detailed analysis of what events actually took place during a test.

PC Interface
In today's environment, it is essential that your test equipment talk to your PC. The Dash 18X's Ethernet Port, DVD+R drive and off-line software make it easier than ever to do this. From setting the system up through your PC to uploading captured data from the hard drive to archiving data to a CD or DVD, the Dash 18X seamlessly integrates with your computer. Best of all, the Dash 18X comes standard with PC-based review software, making it easier than ever to review data.

Rugged Enough For Any Environment
Test equipment is only useful if it will survive your most harsh environments. With its rugged case and compact design, the Dash 18X can handle almost 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 guaranteed to survive - just attach the protective cover and record.

Universal Inputs
The universal inputs of the Dash 18X let you connect almost any signal without using external signal conditioning. With high voltage, low voltage, temperature, DC Bridge and frequency inputs, most signals can connect directly to the Dash 18X. Channel-to-channel isolation means you will never have to worry about cross-talk and signal interference again. Since each input can be independently set up for any type of signal, it's like having an unlimited combination of signal conditioners!

6, 12, or 18 Channel Configuration
If your application requires fewer than 18 channels, the Dash 18X is also offered in 6 or 12 channel configurations. Best of all, the modular design of the Dash 18X allows you to easily upgrade from 6 to 12 to 18 channels as your application requires it.

IRIG Time Decoding
For applications requiring external time correlation, the Dash 18X offers an optional IRIG decoding module. This module decodes IRIG A, B, H and NASA 36 time codes, providing high-speed time synchronization of your data. During real-time recording, IRIG time is shown on the display. In acquisition mode, each data point is time-stamped with IRIG time.

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 to acquire data again. For automotive and other applications where AC power is not available, the Dash 18X has an optional 12 Volt DC power input module, making it ideal for in-vehicle or remote applications and an optional 28 Volt DC power input module for avionic applications.

Optional Strip Chart Recorder
If you ever have a need for a real-time or post-capture strip chart output, the Dash 18X chart recorder is the perfect solution. Designed to be quickly attached to the main unit, it provides hard copy output wherever and whenever you need it. Take it to the field for on-location printing of vital data, or leave it at the lab to print out certain parts of your test when you return.
