Our Data System

The Data System utilizes the following equipment:

• FLUKE NetDaq 2645A Data Loggers

• Honeywell Precision Pressure Transducers (PPT)

• Space Age Controls, Swivel-Head Flight Test Boom

• Ashtech Z-Eurocard GPS receiver (L1/L2 GPS)

• Ashtech GG24-Eurocard receiver (L1/GLONASS GPS)

• Xsens Technologies, MT-9B Motion Tracker Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU)

• Watson AHRS-E304 (Altitude Heading and Reference System)

• Interface Engineering SA810 Synchro Modules

• Action Instruments G478 Frequency to D.C. Modules

• Analog Devices ADXL-250 Dual Axis accelerometers

• Endevco 7290A accelerometers

• Vishay Model Strain Gauge Amplifiers

• Newport Electronics, Inc. RD6 Digital Displays

• Edgeport RS232 to USB Hub

• Druck DPI605 Pressure Tester

• Free Techniques, B.V. CV3f Ultra-Sonic Sensor (Wind Station)

• Setra 470 Digital Pressure Transducer (barometer)

Analog measurements are recorded as voltages using the Fluke NetDaq Data Logger with an applied calibration.  Four-Pole Butterworth Low-Pass filters insure data is not aliased.  Sample rates up to 400 Hz are available.  The Data System is capable of monitoring and displaying in real-time all recorded parameters as well as calculated parameters.
