Astro-Med has taken its popular Dash 2EZ two-channel recorder and added so much capability, we call it the Dash 2EZ+! We increased the frequency response to 8 kHz, increased the A/D resolution to 14 bits, increased the chart speed to 25 mm/sec, added Ethernet networkability along with US B 2.0, and improved the user interface to make it even easier to use! 

 

With a built-in 5.7-inch color touch-screen display for waveform viewing, compact flash for capturing data, and a built-in chart recorder for printing real-time or captured data, the Dash 2EZ+ is the ideal hand-held troubleshooting and maintenance tool. Ideal for paper mills, chemical plants, steel mills, power plants, automotive and other demanding applications, the Dash 2EZ+ is ready to go wherever you go.

 

Real-time Waveform Display
The Dash 2EZ+ has a 5.7-inch color touch-screen display for viewing waveforms in real-time. This high resolution display provides remarkable clarity, and is fully customizable, allowing channels to be viewed side-by-side or overlapped for measuring phase relationships. A meter function provides a numeric readout of your data simultaneously with waveform data.

Capture Data Directly to CompactFlash®
The Dash 2EZ+ saves data directly to off-the-shelf Compact Flash memory cards at sample rates of up to 40 kHz per channel. It comes standard with a 128 MB CompactFlash® for a complete, out-of-the box solution. The Dash 2EZ+ accepts CompactFlash® cards up to 2 GB, allowing multiple or long term data captures.

 

Real-time Strip Chart
The Dash 2EZ+ has an integral 3.1-inch thermal recorder for printing real-time and captured data. This high resolution printer provides the highest quality strip chart printouts of any hand-held system available. The Dash 2EZ+ prints the time and date, chart speed, time scale and scaling information on your chart, giving you an immediate hard copy record of your data. Grids are printed simultaneously with waveform data, eliminating paper skew.

 

Isolated Input Modules
The Dash 2EZ+ accommodates two types of factory installed isolated signal modules. The HV-EZ+ isolated high voltage module accepts inputs up to 250 Vrms – perfect for power monitoring applications. The BR-EZ+ isolated DC bridge input module is ideal for connecting to most sensors, strain gages and transducers. You can choose the factory installed modules in the following configurations; two HV-EZ+, two BR-EZ+ or one of each. Built-in digital signal processing for each channel allows you to program low pass, high pass, notch and RMS filters.

 

“Go Anywhere System”
Test equipment is only useful if it will survive your most harsh environments. With its rugged case and compact design, the Dash 2EZ+ can handle almost any condition you give it. The Dash 2EZ+ contains an internal rechargeable battery and integrated chart recorder that provide you a truly portable solution that can handle any application you choose, including:

• Automotive maintenance • Power monitoring • Shock and vibration testing

• Metal mill maintenance • DC drive monitoring • Non-destructive testing

 

Free AstroVIEW X PC-Based Review Software
In today's environment, it is essential that your test equipment talk to your PC. The Dash 2EZ+'s 10/100BaseT Ethernet port, USB 2.0 interface and CompactFlash® memory make it easier than ever to do this. Using the file transfer function of AstroVIEW X, our free PC based review software, the Dash 2EZ+ seamlessly integrates with your computer to upload data capture files. Best of all, the Dash 2EZ+ comes standard with AstroVIEW X, our PC-based review software, making it easier than ever to review data. The AstroVIEW X PC based analysis software allows you to view captured data on your screen, and includes cursor measurements, a binary format conversion tool and filtering capability. AstroVIEW X easily uploads your data to your PC via Ethernet or USB 2.0.

 

Dash 2EZ+ Accessories
There are many accessories available for the Dash 2EZ+. We offer hard and soft carry cases, chart paper, lead sets, cables, current probes, CompactFlash® cards and reader. Please contact Test & Measurement Sales for more information.
