AstroNova TMX-18

No matter how many milliseconds, hours or days, 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.

AstroNova’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

Using the powerful embedded scope capture and intelligent triggering, the TMX-18 provides low speed trending while simultaneously monitoring and storing highly sampled time synchronized transients or events.

The TMX® will time stamp and embed that important data into the trend recording, assuring that you capture all details of critical data.

Up to four sample rates can be used per TMX data capture.

This allows you to manage file size by assigning higher sample rates to critical signals and lower sample rates to trending signals.

The TMX-18 contains advanced triggering capabilities that allow you to start and/or stop a recording based on changes in your 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 let you set up trigger conditions precisely for your application, while ensuring that you trigger only on events that are important to you.

Unlike Windows-based systems, the TMX-18 features a 1 TByte hard drive dedicated solely for capturing data.

Removable drives allow your data to be easily transferred and stored securely, leaving no proprietary data on the machine.

Don’t waste time and money on a separate video record of your important tests.

The TMX records 30 frame per second video data, perfectly synchronizing with your analog data. Each frame is linked to a sample point giving you amazing detail of any test.

The TMX-18 provides the most flexible data filtering options available.

The raw unfiltered data is stored to the hard drive, allowing you the choice of pre- or post- data acquisition, low pass, high pass, band pass, and band stop filtering using Bessel, Butterworth or Chebyshev topologies.

Advanced DSP filtering allows you to see your real-time analog data as an RMS measurement, which is ideal for power monitoring applications.

The integration and differentiation filter functions provide useful tools for acceleration and deceleration measurement applications.

The TMX-18 has a large 17″ color display which allows you to view your data in real-time and post capture.

Operation of the TMX-18 is quick and easy with the intuitive touch-screen display.

Interface icons and menus provide for straightforward setup and operation.

There are no switches, push-buttons or other controls — complete operation is from the touch-screen.

And, you can easily customize it to fit your exact needs. This means less setup time and more time for gathering data.

The advanced channel meters provide a variety of ways to visually indicate channel activity.

View your data numerically or in other visual representations such as a gauge or horizontal/vertical bar, needle and LED readouts.

Scope mode acts like a digital storage oscilloscope, providing high time-base resolution for viewing high-frequency signals.

Scope mode is useful for timing and synchronization analysis, transient capture, and high-speed testing.

It can be used while continuously capturing data and monitoring signals on the display.

For long-term recording of data using a min/max method which keeps the file size small.

It fully records the input signal amplitude at the full bandwidth of the system (glitch capture).

Compressed Capture has real-time digitizing sample rates up to 800 kHz (input module dependent) and selectable capture rates for a wide variety of applications.

It can be combined with Scope captures for capturing transient signals.

Glitches are clearly seen when reviewing the data.

Alarms provide a visual indicator when signals extend below or above specified boundaries.

These boundaries are defined by setting up low and high alarm levels.

The utility / DIO port provides an alarm output pin that can be used to trigger an external process when alarm conditions for selected signals occur.

Test stimulation and automation is possible with the analog outputs, digital outputs, relays and counters found on the DIOC-16 when coupled with a background program running on the TMX.

Quick creation of temporary or unique test cells and even report files is possible with programs as simple as script files and as large as third party graphical programming packages.

The TMX-18 offers a number of ways to archive and export captured data.

Data can be exported in our packed binary format, minimizing file size, or a generic ASCII format which is compatible with most analysis packages.

The TMX-18 provides eight USB 2.0 ports that open up a world of possibilities.

TMX-18 also has an integral 1000BaseT Ethernet port.

Simply connect the TMX-18 to a network and upload only the data of interest.

The Ethernet connection also provides the capability to control a TMX from a remote location using a suite of host commands.
