The background can also be changed to a bit-map image for user configurable displays.
A direct display change key makes it possible to change the display by definition or jump to a historical display), while frequently used screens can be added to a 'favourites' list and easily called up just by pressing the 'favourite' key.
Messages can be added by plugging a keyboard in to the optional USB port.
The standard instruments feature 48 fully isolated channels, but this can be extended to 348 channels by using the DAQstations in conjunction with Yokogawa's MW100 data-acquisition system.
Sample speed is 125 ms on 48 channels, although for a smaller number of channels this can be improved to 25 ms, and the maximum internal memory capacity is 220 Mbyte.
The extended memory helps to ensure high reliability of data management in the event of power failure.
The optional USB interface also allows measurement data to be saved onto a USB storage device.
The DXAdvanced Series can be interfaced with an MW100 data-acquisition system or external controllers via the Modbus TCP connection, allowing extended mathematical capabilities or multiple batch control to be implemented.
The DAQWORX AddDataBrowser software can be used to search data by time, hardware serial number, message batch or comment, including data files created by different hardware and software or on the network.
It will also display different types of data - with different sampling intervals or different start times, for example - in different windows.
Yokogawa has opened a new website to promote the release of the DXAdvanced Series.
A free CD-ROM with technical data is also available.
