With a built-in touch sceen display, modular signal conditioning and high-speed data capture directly to a hard drive, the Dash 8Xe has all the features of a high speed recorder, data acquisition system, and trending recorder in one small package.

High-Speed Data Acquisition
The Dash 8Xe captures data continuously to a 73 GByte hard drive at a sample rate of 200 kHz per channel. For faster signals, a 4-channel scope card option allows you to capture data at sample rates up to 5 MHz. Best of all, the Dash 8Xe lets you review captured data without interrupting real-time recording, so you'll never miss an important event.

Big 15.1" Touchscreen Display
The Dash 8Xe has a large 15.1" color display which allows you to view your data in real-time and post capture. Operation of the Dash 8Xe 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.

PC Interface
In today's environment, it is essential that your test equipment talk to your PC. The Dash 8Xe's GBit Ethernet port, USB 2.0 interface, 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, the Dash 8Xe seamlessly integrates with your computer. Best of all, the Dash 8Xe comes standard with PC-based review software, making it easier than ever to review data.

Modular Inputs
The wide variety of signal input modules let you connect almost any signal. From high voltage, low voltage, temperature, DC Bridge and frequency inputs, most signals can connect directly to the Dash 8Xe. Channel-to-channel isolation means you will never have to worry about cross-talk and signal interference again. Each channel input can be independently set up for any type of signal. You can easily change out a signal module for another type. Click here to view details on the signal input modules.

Increase you Channel Count
Each Dash 8Xe can have up to eight channels, plus four scope channels yielding a total of 12 channels per Dash 8Xe. Multiple Dash 8Xe systems can even be synchronized for applications requiring more channels, allowing you to expand your channel count to fit your needs.

Optional Strip Chart Recorder
An optional strip chart recorder is available for real-time or post-capture strip chart output. 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.
