Acquisition recorder works in airborne installations
Staff -- Test & Measurement World, 3/1/2007
Designed for a wide range of operational and flight-test applications, the D7000 data-acquisition and recording system from the Heim Data division of Zodiac Data Systems acquires data from multiple avionics signal sources and records it to interchangeable media cartridges. The D7000 also provides adaptable signal interfacing in a rugged, compact package built for harsh environments.
With up to a 256-Mbps total system data rate, the system employs a packet recording format that ensures accurate data time tagging and consistent channel-to-channel phase relationships. The D7000 is compatible with both the Heim Data format and the IRIG106 Chapter 10 standard.
The mainframe also has GigE data download capability, and the media SCSI interface provides a high-speed output to other Heim Data systems. Its internal IRIG time code generator lets you synchronize to external IRIG and GPS time sources. In addition, the unit can optionally be fitted with an internal GPS receiver.
The mainframe holds up to four multichannel signal-interface cards, enabling concurrent recording of multiple video, PCM, and MIL-STD-1553 bus sources.
