Data Capture 

 

DISCUSSION

 

Set up one data capture for 7.28 seconds.  The capture should be triggered when 
the battery voltage is applied.  The data capture should be a total of 7.28 seconds. 

 

 

Of the total capture time, 0.728 seconds of the capture should show what the 
signal looked like before the battery voltage was applied.

HOW TO 

 
Enter data capture setup 

[SYS] [SETUP DATA CAPTURE] 

 

Format memory 

[ADVANCED] [FORMAT CAPTURE MEMORY]

  

Use encoder wheel to 

select 16 records 

x

 256 Ks maximum.  

[BEGIN] [BEGIN] [EXIT] [EXIT] 

 
Select capture of all channels 

[SET CHANNELS TO STORE] [DEFAULT] 

 

[EVENT CHANNELS]

  

Toggle to SAVED to include event markers with the 

capture.  

[EXIT]

 

 
Set sample rate to 1 kHz 

[SET SAMPLE RATE]

  

The number of samples per second.  In general, select 

at least ten times the frequency of your signal or the frequency of any changes in 
signal.  Turn encoder wheel until sample rate is 1 kHz. 

 

Set record size to 64 Ks 

[SET RECORD SIZE]

  

The Dash 16u will give you the amount of time that data 

will be captured based on the record size and the sample rate.  This is shown 
under the duration field.  Turn encoder wheel until record size is 64 Ks. 

 

Set trigger window to 10% 

[SET TRIGGER WINDOW]

  

Placing the trigger at any point other than the 

start of the capture window will allow for pre-trigger data to be captured.  Turn 
encoder wheel until trigger window is 10%. 

 

Set capture for one record 

[SET OPERATION]

  

You can capture one record or re-arm for more captures.  

Turn encoder wheel for single capture. 

 
Be sure auto-triggering is OFF 

[ADVANCED] [AUTO TRIGGER]

  

If auto-triggering is ON, toggle to OFF.

 

 
Enter trigger setup 

[SYS] [SETUP TRIGGER]

 

 
Enable waveform triggering 

[WAVEFORM]

  

Waveform should be toggled to ON position. 

 

Set up the logic for triggering 

[TOGGLE LOGIC]

  

Insure that OR logic is chosen. 

 

Pick waveform(s) for triggering 

 Turn encoder wheel so that only Channel #1 is selected. 

 

Set up the level for triggering

 

[SETUP WAVEFORM] [SET CHANNEL]

  

Turn encoder wheel to select 

Channel #1. 

[SET TYPE / CLASS]

  

Use wheel to select level - above for type of 

trigger. 

[<<FIELD>>]

  

Turn encoder wheel to 80% (8.8 volts). 

 

Run the chart 

[RUN / HALT]

 

 
Arm for capture 

[ARM]

  

This key is located near the encoder wheel.  The Dash 16u is now 

recording pre-trigger data, waiting for the trigger.
