Modular acquisition on the record
The DiSC6 modular data acquisition and storage system is the newest product in the Heim Data Systems A Series.
The new Ethernet signal interface provides data acquisition from this popular bus in avionics and R and D applications.
Ethernet data can be concurrently acquired and accurately correlated with other data from PCM telemetry, avionics bus, sensor and video sources.
The D Series comprises two models.
With up to 20Mbit/s total system datarate for the D20f, and up to 200Mbit/s total system datarate for the D200f, these systems record and/or reproduce data using tape, rugged disk and solid-state drives.
Also, the D200f features an Ethernet control interface, permitting cost effective remote and networked configuration, operation and monitoring via local and distant host computers.
The media cartridges use a standard SCSI interface and can be changed at any time, allowing freedom of media choice throughout the life of the equipment.
Front-panel controls and the remote control interfaces give the user permanent access to configuration and control functions.
Bright alphanumeric displays provide confidence-boosting, real-time information about the I/O signals and the system.
The D20f and D200f are complete with an integral IRIG time code reader/generator, and can also synchronise to external IRIG and GPS time sources.
The packet recording system ensures accurate time tagging and consistent channel-to-channel phase relationships irrespective of signal type.
Systems compatible with the IRIG106 Chapter 10 data format standard will be available.
