Astro-Med has combined the versatility of our Dash 8Xe with our innovative AstroPower™ monitoring software to give you
the all new Dash 8XPM. The Dash 8XPM delivers the capabilities of a high-end data acquisition recorder and a dedicated
power monitoring system in one useful tool.
Using the standard Dash 8Xe software, the system operates as a powerful data acquisition recorder
that can be used for long term trend recording, traditional data capture and oscil-
loscope recording for maintenance troubleshooting applications.
Switching to AstroPower monitoring software allows monitoring of power
quality and disturbances that can disrupt the operation of electrical
equipment. The user can record power trends, events and transients for
days, weeks or months at a time.
REAL-TIME DISPLAY
View voltage and current waveforms side by side, overlapped or
grouped together logically. User

TOUCH-SCREEN DISPLAY
15-inch color touch-screen display
provides you with an easy-to-use
graphical interface.
Choose a recording setup and AstroPower automatically configures your inputs for single phase, split
phase, Delta or Wye recording applications.
Channels 7 & 8 can be used as auxiliary inputs to
record any signal type, including tachometer signals,
thermocouples, and other AC or DC, high or low
voltage signals.

DASH 8XE FUNCTIONALITY
In addition to power monitoring, the Dash 8XPM
gives you the functionality of the popular Dash
8Xe data acquisition recorder. You can capture 8
channels of data directly to a 73 GB hard drive at
sample rates from one sample per minute to 200
kHz per channel. It lets you capture trend data,
transient/glitch data based on intelligent triggers
and gives you high speed digital scope recording.

nals, the Dash 8XPM lets you view
power information, phase diagrams,
phase relationships and RMS data in
real-time.
The Dash 8XPM’s modular inputs give you the flexibility you need in a portable troubleshooting tool. From
high voltage, isolated inputs for voltage and current
channels to DC bridge and thermocouple inputs for
auxiliary channels, the Dash 8XPM has a variety of
modules to meet your needs.

RECORDER ENVIRONMENT
Based on user input of target parameters, AstroPower optimizes input
performance and resolution by automatically configuring settings such
as display and unit scaling along with attenuator selection...all prior
to recording!
Key system parameters such as target voltage and current, transformer
ratios and 50 or 60Hz power frequency are all user definable.
SPLIT-SCREEN ANALYSIS
The analysis window provides voltage and current harmonics, phase
relationships and diagrams along with RMS voltage and current
information in real time.
The Dash 8XPM operates with an intuitive real-time touch-screen display that allows the user to view, record and analyze
data in a variety of formats.
