BAC DataMaster DMT
Released in 2004,
the DataMaster DMT represents a quantum leap in technology for the breath testing industry. From the outset, the design philosophy was to combine the proven analytic portion of previous DataMasters with a flexible and scalable user interface in a service-friendly instrument. The result was the first breath alcohol tester to utilize a graphics capable touch screen display and a powerful embedded PC able to take advantage of many off the shelf PC peripherals available on the market. This provides a dynamic control platform that is easily configured to satisfy any present and future needs of the customer.
The DataMaster DMT represents many new firsts in the industry:
- Touch screen graphics capable display
- Powerful embedded PC
- Real-time critical instrument data such as internal voltages, temperatures etc. (locally or remotely)
- Real-time adjustment of voltages in the unit without the need to open the unit (locally or remotely)
- Real-time graphic display of both the breath profile and alcohol curve during a subject test
- Full color printouts of breath profile and alcohol curve as part of the test ticket
- Local access to previous tests without the need for special software
- Windows media player audio and video capabilities
This also allowed our engineering section to enhance other aspects of the DataMaster DMT. The DataMaster DMT is a truly lightweight portable unit capable of being used on a wide range of AC power and on 12VDC in mobile use. Future development includes a model using an internal battery. The added processing power at our disposal also allowed for the upgrade of some components used in the analytical portion to allow for better power management and enhanced reliability.
The modular design of the DataMaster DMT also provides for easy service access. The use of surface mount PCB’s were avoided (except for off the shelf parts) allowing board level service on the instrument without the need to invest in expensive soldering equipment. The graphics capable screen also allows for the measurement of some internal voltage traces on a grid display.
National Patent Analytical Systems has certified Charles Rowland in the operation, diagnostic verification and calibration of the BAC DataMaster Breath Alcohol Testing Instrument, the most commonly used breath testing instrument in Ohio for DUI / OVI arrests.
