in measurement, communication,
interface and processing
technologies to deliver unmatched
performance for your data
acquisition application.
The RD8300 series utilizes a high
contrast 142 mm (5.6") color Active
Matrix TFT LCD display with a
rugged touch screen. Use a finger
or the onboard stylus, if you prefer,
to perform data entry and system
navigation. The front panel is also
fully compliant to IP65 for use in
dusty or wet areas. An intuitive icon
driven menu system guides the user
through easy to follow setup and
control screens. The display builder
feature makes setting up custom
screens extremely simple. Design
up to 50 custom displays containing

When it comes to storing data, the
RD8300 is extremely flexible. Data
can be stored to the non-volatile
internal flash RAM or any of the
available storage drives including
CompactFlash™ and USB provided
there is media present.
Programmable record start and stop
times allow the user to start and
stop recording at predetermined
intervals. Data may also be stored
to a remote PC via Ethernet using
the optional Exhibitor Software. In
addition, the built in OPC Server
allows any OPC compliant software
Channel Setup
client to connect to, communicate
with and retrieve data. The RD8300
utilizes many layers of security to
protect the integrity of your stored
data. All data is stored in an
encrypted binary format which
prevents data tampering and
maximizes compression. The front
access media door is lockable to
prevent unauthorized access to the
internal removable storage media.
There are 3 levels of password
protection to prevent unauthorized
entry into critical recorder function
menus. To ensure that data files are

completely error free the RD8300
has a built-in rechargeable Nickel
Metal Hydride battery backup
system that constantly monitors the
incoming power source. In the event
of a power loss or power dip, the
RD8300 seamlessly switches over
to the internal power and begins a
safe and controlled system
shutdown. When power is restored
the recorder immediately returns to
the last state of operation. This
guarantees that data files will never
be corrupted by unexpected power
conditions.

Make notes, sign files or make other

built-in keyboard to type messages on the
screen. Your notes are stored within the
data file directory for future review.
The innate feature of handwriting notes and comments on the
chart of paper recorders had been lost with the onset of video
graphic recorders until the arrival of the RD8300. Using the
high-resolution touch screen interface and the integral stylus
you can once again make notes or comments directly on the
chart. This on-screen annotation is stored within the data file
directory and can be recalled and displayed on the recorder or
in Exhibitor Software.

Calculator
Powerful Math Package
The onboard math package is
extremely powerful. It allows the
user to input complex polynomial
equations using constants, custom
functions and variable inputs
obtained from live channels. The
resultant information can be
displayed and recorded as a real
time channel. Using the intuitive
calculated channel setup menu the
user enters in the formula and can
perform a test to make sure the
formula is accurate.
Play unique sound files for each alarm by
simply selecting the file you want to play
when you set up the alarm.
Unique Sounds
Unique .wav files may be uploaded
and played through the internal
speaker to alert of specific types of
alarms. Use any .wav file, even
customize your own spoken word
announcements. In areas where
there is a high level of ambient
noise the alarm .wav files can be
output to a P.A. system or amplified
speakers via the rear mounted
audio connector. Each alarm
setpoint can have a unique sound
file associated with it. In the alarm
setup menu simply select the .wav
file you want to play when the alarm
is active.
Remote Control
The remote control feature extends
the graphic user interface of the
RD8300 Series directly onto your
local PC. Use remote control and
your desktop PC’s mouse and
keyboard to view real time data,
change settings, start and stop
recording or virtually anything else
you can do with the recorders touch
screen. Across the plant or across
the planet, remote control
empowers you with virtual
presence.
Using the record setup menu, the
user can select which channels to
record, the sample storage rate,
whether to record alarms and/or
events, and the start/stop time and
date for the record session. The
location of the data file is selected in
this menu along with the data file
name. The user can also configure
the unit to start or stop recording on
an alarm level or an externally
triggered input.

Exhibitor Software is an extremely
powerful set of tools that
compliments the RD8300 and
other OPC compliant devices.
Incorporating functions to simplify
Network Overview
data management via searching,
reviewing, printing, or exporting
historic data, Exhibitor Software
allows real-time monitoring and
recording independently as well,
while historic recording is not
affected. Also featured is the OPC
S-x
Client which enables the user to
build custom screens selecting
various display elements and data
from multiple OPC Servers,
including devices other than
RD8300’s. (Windows™ XP/2000
Compatible).
Customizable
Real-Time View
Use Exhibitors design page
features to create custom real
time display projects that can
be saved and recalled with a
click of the mouse. Create
bar graphs, digital panel
meters, thermometers or
trend screens from live data
coming from any RD8300 or
other OPC compliant device
accessible on the network.
Using the OPC device
manager, Exhibitor allows you
to connect to OPC servers
anywhere there is a network
connection. A user definable
list of data is then accessible
by the design page, where
customized real-time displays
are built using the user friendly
graphic user interface. To
place items, simply point,
clicks, and drags. Save your
project for future use and the
next time it is opened all
servers are automatically
connected and data will begin
displaying immediately. Go
one step further, and record
real time data to your PC.
Real Time Screen
Graphical Review
The composite graphical
view can display all inputs
and calculated data from a
particular recording session.
The user is able to manipulate
the graph to make it easy to
see interaction between
recorded channels, turn
channels off and on, change
color schemes, expand,
compress, zoom, and print.
Individual channels can be
displayed for detailed analysis.
There is a summary function
for the individual channels
which provides minimum,
maximum, averages and time
and date for the records. The
same analysis tools used for
the multi-channel graph are
used to scroll through data,
zoom, review and expand the
single channel graphs.
Select the type of control to be displayed then customize its size, color and location.

Tabular Data Screen
Tabular Data Review
The data table view displays
recorded data in tabular format. All
recorded information within a file
can be viewed or deselected along
with time stamps. Using the one
click export feature, the table can be
exported to Excel™ in its entirety or
in portions. The data table and
graph can be synchronized so that
they are interactive during analysis
of records. Double clicking a value
in the data table will automatically
bring you to the graph page with
that value and time highlighted.
Move the cursor over the point and
detailed information is provided.
Also available are separate alarm,
event, and memo review screens.
Memo review lists all on-screen
annotations in a record.
