2. INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the Astro-Med DASH II chart recorder. It is important that you read the

enclosed operations manual. You simply will not get the most out of your DASH II unless you do.

However, it is human nature for you to want to get started right away. We understand this, and have

prepared a Quick Start Manual to let you get acquainted with the DASH II as quickly as possible. We hope

you enjoy it - and your new recorder. But then please read the operations manual - you'll be glad you did.

3. GETTING STARTED

VOLTAGE VERIFICATION Verify that the voltage selection cylinder through the window on the fuse

block is set to the voltage that you will be using.

CONNECT AC POWER Connect the AC power cord to the DASH II rear panel, then to an outlet.

LOAD CHART PAPER Locate the free roll of paper included with your recorder. Open the box and

remove the paper. Open the paper chamber door by pressing the paper chamber door release. Place the

paper in the chamber such that it unwinds from the bottom of the roll. Allow a few inches of paper to

extend out of the chamber and close the paper chamber door.

TURN ON DASH II When you turn on the DASH II, the backlit LCD display will read DASH II

Initialization, then the recorder will display the real-time idle state menu. The upper line of the display will

indicate the time and date while the lower line will show the chart type and speed alternating with the state

of the recorder. The recorder states are real-time or data playback and running or halted.

START RECORDING Signal input cables are not supplied with the DASH II. You must supply the

signal input cables. Using standard banana jack connectors, bring your signals into the recorder at the front

panel input connectors. Press the [RUN/HALT] key. The DASH II will begin recording. Look at the left

edge of the chart - the System Log repeatedly prints the time, date, chart speed and time scale. Reference

the Operations manual to change the time and date.

HALT Experiment stopping the chart by pressing the [RUN/HALT] key.

CHANGE SPEEDS Press and release the [SPEED] key. The four softkeys below the display will now

control the programmable speeds. The programmable speed keys provide a means to quickly set the

common chart speeds. The factory programmed speeds are: 10, 25, 50 and 100 mm/sec.

•

While the chart is running, press the softkey below 100 and watch the speed change to 100 mm/sec.

•

Press the softkey below 50 and watch the speed change to 50 mm/sec.

Practice changing speeds with the programmable speed keys. Consult the Operations Manual to change

these values.

•

Press and hold the [SPEED] key to access the Speed menu.
