Astro-Med, Inc., Test & Measurement Product Group has introduced the Dash 32HF-HS, a multi-channel, high security, high frequency data acquisition recorder containing .

• 32 analog and 8 TTL event inputs
• 500 kHz sample rate per channel directly to hard drive
• 100 kHz bandwidth per channel
• Dedicated 250 GByte hard drive for capturing data
• Removable system and data capture drives
• GBit Ethernet and USB 2.0 for exporting data to your PC
• Compact, portable design
• Link ports for synchronizing data capture between systems

Engineered specifically for capturing high frequency data and transient signals, the unit supports recording up to 32 channels and 8 TTL event inputs to an internal hard drive at sample rates of up to 500 kHz and a bandwidth of 100 kHz per channel.

The system contains thirty-two differential inputs that accept up to +/-50VDC (35Vrms). The versatile digital signal processing of the Dash 32HF-HS provides a wide variety of filtering capabilities, including low pass, high pass, band pass, band stop and RMS filtering. Frequency counter inputs are also included.

Equipped with a 15" diagonal monitor for intuitive touch-screen control and real-time data viewing and analysis, the graphical user interface of the Dash 32HF-HS is optimized for ease of use. The 1024x768 monitor resolution provides superior definition and clarity for waveform viewing. A customizable touch-panel user interface transforms the Dash 32HF-HS into a dedicated data acquisition system for your specific requirements. The viewing area is completely customizable, and different colors can be used for waveforms, grids and annotation. When signals exceed specified limits, alarms can be set to change the waveform color, instantly alerting the user to possible areas of interest. On-screen cursors provide timing and amplitude information and permit instantaneous measurements.

The Dash 32HF-HS includes a dedicated, 250 GByte internal, removable hard drive for capturing and archiving data. Using the optional AstroDock docking station for Dash HF-HS series data recorders, removable drives can be brought to a PC and the data can be easily reviewed. Other features include 10/100/1000BaseT Ethernet for data upload and USB 2.0 port for archiving data to external drives.

Free Windows-based AstroVIEW X software allows data to be imported to a PC for analysis and review. Using AstroVIEW X, a user can import data to popular spreadsheet and analysis programs including Excel, DADiSP and MathCAD with a simple conversion command.

The system is built into a compact (16"L x 12.125"W x 6.628"H), light (under 24 lbs), and rugged case for field or lab use. Operating on either 120 or 240 VAC, the Dash 32HF-HS includes a capacitive backup to ensure proper shutdown without data corruption if power is lost.

Designed for applications ranging from transient capture to remote troubleshooting, the Dash 32HF-HS is portable and rugged enough to handle any environment. The unit is ideally suited for applications in the automotive, electric utility, telecommunications, pulp and paper, metals manufacturing, steel mills, medical, and other industrial, scientific, and educational fields.
