Compressed Capture
Compressed Capture is 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.

QuickLook
The innovative QuickLook feature calculates compression and expansion
factors while recording data allowing you to review GBytes of data in seconds
and scan through large data files quickly and easily.
LookBack
The TMX-18’s unique LookBack feature allows you to review data during a
capture and also allows the user to transfer previously recorded data without
interruption to the active trend capture – truly a time saving benefit.
Exporting Data
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.
