Our Products

Telemetry Interfaces

Our single and two channel telemetry interfaces are intended for applications that require the input or output of serial or parallel telemetry data streams on a PCI interface at data rates up to 800 Mbps (serial) or 100 MBps (parallel).
-Designed for ingesting and generating synchronous serial or parallel telemetry data streams.
-PCI bus based.
-Suitable for use in PC, workstation, and server based telemetry systems.
-Single channel boards support the simultaneous input and output of a single channel of telemetry data.
-Two channels boards support simultaneous input on two channels, output on two channels, or input and output on one channel.
-Software supports up to 16 cards in a single chassis.
-Choice of connector types allow for optimal use of available PCI slots.

Recorders/Reproducers

We offer an extensive line of high-performance Digital Data Recorders / Reproducers based on disk and tape technologies. These products are suitable for spacecraft to ground and aircraft to ground telemetry recording and for development of telemetry systems.
-Record and reproduce 1 to 16 channels
-Serial and/or parallel High-Speed Interfaces
-Serial Low-Speed Interfaces
-Transfer rates to 1.6 Gb/sec sustained per channel
-Internal storage capacities from 12 GB to 3.2 TB or more
-Record to and reproduce from hard disk and/or tape media
-Archives to and restores from standard computer peripherals
-Optional IRIG A and B time code input/output
-Scheduler for unattended operation
-Remote control
-Transcribing over a LAN to/from a file server. This allows a network connected computer to access the recorded data or for a network connected computer to place data on the recorder/reproducer for playback.
-Data manipulation and processing Allows for real time and/or post acquisition processing of the data on the DDR. The user may write their own applications using our SDK or contract us to write the application.
Our Digital Data Recorders/Reproducers incorporate leading edge network and instrumentation interfaces for high-performance, cost-effective data recording, playback, and storage.
All of our Digital Data Recorders/Reproducers share a common User Interface

Bit Error Rate Testers

We offer a broad range of Bit Error Rate Testers, including turnkey and board level products. These products are used for testing synchronous serial or 8-bit parallel communications equipment, communications links, and radio telemetry systems.
Our BERTs handle serial data rates up to 1 Gbps and parallel data rates up to 100 MBps.
Our BERTs are available in single or multi-channel configurations.

Network Telemetry Links

We offer single-channel and dual-channel Network Telemetry Links (NTL) that are intended for applications that require transmission of serial or parallel telemetry data streams across a network at data rates up to 800 Mbps (serial) or 100 MBps (parallel) per channel.
-Unit functions as either an input device taking telemetry data in and transmitting the data over a network connection or as an output device taking telemetry data from a network connection and outputting clock and data signals.
-Supports the unidirectional flow of telemetry data from a receiving site to a processing site( single or dual channel NTL).
-Supports the bidirectional flow of telemetry data between two sites (single channel NTL).
-Provides the translation to/from a standard internetworking protocol stack such that a standard WAN or LAN link can be used to transfer the telemetry data.
-Gigabit Ethernet network interface is standard; others are available (ATM, SONET).
Functions include:
-In-band data transfer control between units
-Output clock frequency trimming for flow control
-Support for both unit-Level and system-Level (end-to-end) diagnostics.
Hardware:
-1U rack mounted form factor
-Multiple channel units available

Clock Synthesizers

We a broad range of Clock Synthesizers which are programmable frequency sources used to generate clock signals for use in telemetry systems. They are typically used to provide an accurate data timing signal to be used by one or more pieces of equipment.
-Clock signals generated by the Clock Synthesizer can be customized to meet various timing and signal level requirements.
-Available completely integrated in a PXI chassis with a touch screen user interface, or as a board and software for installation in a customer supplied Personal Computer with a keyboard and mouse user interface.
-Boards are available in one channel or two channel versions.

A single channel provides two clock outputs. These two outputs have independent frequency synthesizers and provide identical electrical level outputs. Thus a two channel Clock Synthesizer board provides four clock outputs each capable of producing a unique frequency, with two of the clocks providing one electrical level output (eg. ECL) and the other two outputs providing another electrical level (eg LVDS). Each clock output provides differential level signaling (a positive and a negative output signal)
-If a single clock is required to be distributed to multiple destinations our Telemetry Crossbar Switches may be used to distribute these clock signals with very low skew between output

Telemetry Crossbar Switch

We offer a range of Telemetry Crossbar Switches which are non blocking crossbar switches that can accept 4 clock and data inputs and assign any input to any of up to 12 outputs depending on the model.

System Integration

We have the expertise and experience to provide custom system integration of our equipment in racks with 3rd party equipment. This includes cabling and custom in house manufactured patch panels.
