Astro-Med Dash MX portable data acquisition system

Click2Contact

The Dash MX from Astro-Med is a full-featured, high-speed multichannel data acquisition system designed for capturing high-frequency data and transient signals as well as long-term trending.

The standard Dash MX records up to eight channels of isolated voltage inputs to an internal 320 GB hard drive at sample rates up to 200 kHz per channel. High-frequency data captures can be saved directly to a hard drive for review and post analysis. Support is included for IRIG time codes A, B and E. Equipped with a 12″ colour display for touch-screen control as well as real-time data viewing and analysis, the graphical user interface of the Dash MX is optimised for ease of use.

The system is built into a compact (13.25″L x 12″W x 5.3″H), lightweight and rugged case for field or lab use. Operating on 100 to 264 VAC, the Dash MX includes an internal rechargeable battery for power backup and up to 30 min of operation.

The Dash MX comes equipped with isolated single-ended inputs that accept up to 250 V_RMS. The Dash MX-H version is equipped with high-voltage modules that can measure up to 1000 V_RMS. Other signal input modules include thermocouple, bridge, piezoelectric and universal.

The digital signal processing of the Dash MX provides a variety of capabilities, including low pass, high pass, bandpass and bandstop filtering. Derived channels (calculated channels based on user-defined equations), variable sample rate during capture and up to four sample rates per capture are also available.
