High-Speed Data Acquisition System with Printer
The Model 8460 is a versatile high-speed data acquisition recorder with an integrated thermal printer. Measurement results can be viewed on the 15.4” touchscreen display, saved to the large internal hard drive, and printed on continuous 270mm wide-format paper.
With 3 slots for dedicated input modules, this system can be configured to your specific application. Choose any combination of universal, isolated high voltage, multiplexed, or strain gauge input modules for up to 36 analog inputs.
For capturing high-speed or transient signals, the 8460 can simultaneously acquire and record 18 inputs at 1 MSa/s in memory mode. A variety of start and stop conditions are available including trigger on analog channel(s) level or edge, logic channel high or low, or through a designated date and time. You can also choose from a variety of actions to be performed when the recording is stopped including sending emails, printing data in memory, and changing the setup file. Additionally, the secondary file function allows you to record low and high-speed data in separate files to reduce file sizes and minimize storage usage.
The intuitive user interface makes setup easy, and measurement results can be viewed graphically or numerically on the display while data is simultaneously recorded or printed. Built-in analysis tools include a mathematical function editor and dedicated power quality analysis mode for analyzing single and 3-phase power networks. Display options include measured voltages and currents, calculated values, vector diagrams, and harmonics.
Connect to the 8460 remotely via the built-in LAN interface or optional USB WiFi. You can remotely control the unit, transfer data and configuration files, and view live data on a PC.
