precisely synchronized
data capture
Don’t Miss a Glitch!
Whether your test runs for 100 milliseconds or 100 hours, the TMX-18 won’t
miss a glitch. With its dedicated, 1 TByte hard drive for data capture, the
TMX-18 is ideal for long-term trending and high-speed event detection.
Each channel uses a separate 16 bit A/D for perfect data synchronization.
Astro-Med’s powerful BackChannel technology ensures precise synchronization
of analog, audio, video and data bus inputs. We do not rely on Windows
®
to
synchronize your data.
High-Speed Testing. High-Speed Solutions.
astro-med recorders are the
easiest to use data acquisition
systems on the market
With the TMX-18, there’s no need to fumble with awkward buttons or knobs
and complicated configurations! The TMX-18 features a high resolution, 17"
touch screen display, as well as pre-defined set up options, making test setup a
breeze! With the TMX-18, you will be up and running in no time!
Do multiple users in your group require different setups? No problem. With the
TMX-18, you can easily create and switch among multiple setup configurations.
Embedded Scope Captures
Using the powerful
embedded scope
capture and
intelligent triggering,
TMX-18 provides
low speed trending
while simultaneously
monitoring and
storing highly
sampled time
synchronized
transients or events.
TMX-18 will time
stamp and embed
that important data
into the trend recording, assuring that you capture details of critical data.
Multiple Sample Rates
Up to four sample rates can be selected per TMX-18 data capture. This allows
you to manage file size by assigning higher sample rates to critical signals and
lower sample rates to trending signals.
Triggering
TMX-18 contains advanced triggering capabilities that allow you to start and/
or stop a recording based on changes in the input signals. The circular data
buffer of the TMX-18 allows you to set and record large amounts of pre-trigger
data. Window, level and slew triggering allows you to set up trigger conditions
precisely for your application, while logical AND and OR triggering ensure that
you trigger only on events that are important to you.
Dedicated Hard Drive
Unlike Windows-based systems, the TMX-18 features a 1 TByte hard drive
dedicated solely for capturing data. Removable drives allows data to be easily
transferred and stored securely, leaving no proprietary data on the machine.
IRIG/GPS (optional)
TMX-IR IRIG/GPS time option provides precise time-synchronization of data,
video, and all TMX-18 inputs with other devices.
The TMX enables you
to stack thousands of
data captures on the
hard drive.
