Power-Focused Data Acquisition with the B&K Precision DAS1800

When it comes to capturing high-speed electrical data, the B&K Precision DAS1800 stands out—not just for its speed and modular flexibility—but now more than ever, for its robust support of advanced power analysis across a wide variety of AC and DC systems.

Expanded Power Network Support

• The DAS1800 now offers comprehensive measurement and analysis for DC systems, single-phase AC, and three-phase AC power networks in both wye (star) and delta configurations. Whether you're dealing with a simple load test or an industrial-scale energy system, the DAS1800 adapts. This includes compatibility with 50 Hz, 60 Hz, and 400 Hz network frequencies—ideal for utility, automotive, aerospace, and defense applications.
• Up to five networks can be measured simultaneously with Class S power quality measurements. This means real-time recording of parameters like voltage, current, power, and energy—right alongside any other analog measurements in your test setup.

Enhanced Visualization Tools

The DAS1800 is more than a fast recorder—it's a powerful analyzer. With the latest updates, users can now:

• Display phase relationships using intuitive phasor diagrams. These visuals map voltage and current vectors by magnitude and phase angle, which are crucial for diagnosing issues in three-phase systems or validating load balance.
• Quickly identify harmonic content up to the 50th order through the histogram chart. Voltage and current harmonics are automatically plotted, providing insights into system distortion and non-linear load behavior. Whether it's for regulatory compliance or troubleshooting equipment, the DAS1800 delivers clarity quickly.

Engineered for High-Performance Measurements

• With support for up to 80 analog channels via a modular plug-and-play design, the DAS1800 can be configured to meet virtually any application need. Sample rates reach up to 1 MSa/s per channel, and users can assign up to four independent sample rates in one recording session—perfect for capturing both fast transients and slow trends simultaneously.
• Data is stored on a 2 TB SSD, and the instrument is fully portable, offering a battery option that provides up to 3.5 hours of runtime in the field.

Smart Control & Integration

Remote control and data access are fully supported via web server, VNC, and FTP, while the included DASpro PC software provides a user-friendly interface for analyzing ASAM MDF4 recordings. Plus, with the integrated sensor library, setting up new test configurations is quick and repeatable.

Bottom Line:

Suppose you're working in energy, aerospace, transportation, R&D, or industrial automation and need an all-in-one data acquisition solution that now also delivers in-depth power analysis with high-quality visuals. In that case, the B&K Precision DAS1800 is ready to meet the challenge.
