Dash 8HF
High Frequency Data Recorder

2 MHz sample rate directly to hard drive

The Dash 8HF is a powerful, compact and portable data acquisition recorder engineered
specifically for capturing high frequency data and transient signals. It provides isolated
inputs with sample rates up to 2 MHz and a bandwidth of 200 KHz per channel! The
Dash 8HF is the ideal system to give you an accurate record of your high speed data.


High-Speed Data Acquisition
The Dash 8HF offers intelligent, versatile data capture.  Eight isolated analog inputs and eight event inputs can be streamed directly to a 250 GByte hard drive.  Sample rates can be varied from 2 MHz per channel to 100 Hz per channel.  You can even capture trend data at slower sample rates while embedding higher sample rate scope capture at the same time!
