Gould TA11 8 Channel Chart Recorder

Rent me for $400 a month

Gould TA11 Portable Recording System

Signal Monitoring

The TA11 integrates a large LCD panel into a flip-panel to provide the recording-system function of signal monitoring. While viewing signals on the monitor, you can set trace position, signal gain, and signal offset without running the chart. The system displays signals on its monitor as they occur. Instead of waiting for the chart or changing the chart speed momentarily, you view signal changes immediately on the monitor.

Signal Conditioning

Eight or 16 channels of factory installed signal conditioners are integrated into the TA11's portable package. Basic DC single-ended inputs have ranges from 100 mV to 100 VFS. General purpose DC/RMS differential, impedance protected inputs have ranges from 25 mV to 500 VFS plus RMS and zero suppression to 1000 V. Specialized signal conditioners record special industrial signals--such as pressure, flow, temperature, rotational speed and high voltage--and medical signals--such as blood pressure, EMG, and ECG.

Signal Capture

Use the TA11 to capture signals of frequencies up to 35 kHz. Trigger to capture transient events by pressing a front-panel button, by time, or on any combination of channels.

Storing Setups and Signals

Both battery-backed memory and an optional, built-in memory-card drive can be used to store complete TA11 recorder setups--channel settings, annotation, grid formats, etc. Captured signals can be stored as DOS files on memory cards as an archive for later playback and analysis on the recorder.

Hard Copy Output

A Gould engineered technique called Micropulsing® (U.S. patent number 4,937,590) precisely controls the temperature of each style of the thermal-array print head for the best contrast at any speed. Select the grid format that fits your application from seven predefined and full-width, overlapping grids. Simultaneously record up to 16 analog and 16 event channels. Overlap all signals with independent size and position for maximum resolution and comparative study. A QWERTY-layout keyboard on the touch screen allows easy entry of text.

Gould Windograf 930 4 Channel Recorder

Rent me for $500 a month

The simplicity of traditional recorders combined with the versatility of data acquisition systems
