2.1. GENERAL
The ESCORT 3008B, ESCORT 3016B and ESCORT 3004B are programmable recorders designed
to measure and record on 6 to 36 analogical channels, voltages, currents, temperatures, etc. and 16
logical channels (event markers).
The ESCORT 3008B appliance has a built-in thermal printer for real-time signals recording. It is
suitable with 6 to 36 analogical channels isolated or multiplexed non-isolated .
The ESCORT 3016B is identical to the ESCORT 3008B but without real-time recording on paper.
It is suitable with the same kind and number of channels.
The ESCORT 3004B more compact, is the same than the ESCORT 3016B with only 6 isolated
channels in standard.
2 types of inputs are proposed:
- isolated inputs though 6-channels modules, up to 3 modules
- non-isolated differential inputs, multiplexed by 12-channel modules, up to 3 modules.
It has various functioning modes:
- a Direct mode, for acquisition printed on paper, available only on ESCORT 3008B
- a Memory mode, for acquisition on quick inner memory
- a File mode, for acquisition on inner hard drive or USB key
- a GoNogo mode, for acquisition on a pre-recorded frame.
The "operator-recorder" dialog is made easier thanks to easy-to-read menus on a wide LCD screen.
The measuring parameters are easy to program. You can program the parameters through the
keyboard and the thumb wheel on the front side, or through a mouse and a external keyboard.
The ESCORT 3008B, ESCORT 3016B and ESCORT 3004B recorders can be entirely programmed
through an Ethernet link.
