February 4, 2009 - DSPCon launched the DataFlex-1000A, a portable, high-speed data recorder that combines real-time performance, remote capabilities and complete compatibility with any commercially-available laptop or PC. Capable of supporting 16 to thousands of channels, the new DataFlex-1000A can be utilized as a high-performance, stand-alone data recorder/replay unit; a virtual lab instrument; or a full-function, real-time data analyzer when integrated with DSPCon's optional MultiScope graphic visualization software. It features an analog bandwidth capacity of 97.2 kHz per channel with anti-alias filtering and no degradation of bandwidth, regardless of channel count, to accommodate a wide variety of telemetry, voice and video storage applications.
In addition, the system utilizes dual, "hot-swappable," industry-standard disks, tape drives or solid-state memory storage devices to deliver easy, flexible, high-capacity data recording in a variety of media.Features and Specifications
Feature Highlights:
* Simple local or remote system set-up/control/status * Flexible signal inputs/outputs including IRIG-B, analog monitor channel and audio annotation. 10 MHz reference input. * Produces and accepts a variety of data formats including CATS, DATX, UFF-58, and others * Optional graphical replay tool provided for digital replay andflexible analysis of data * Works with any laptop or PC * Variety of configuration options * Rugged, flight-capable design.
