The Axon Quick Start Kit consists of fully qualified, released hardware and software and can be expanded as future Axon modules become available.
Features
- The Axon quick-start kit provides everything you need to become familiar with the system
- Includes a chassis, modules, axonite remote chassis, cables, software, and a user guide
- Simple and quick to set up and use
- Can be used beyond lab tests as part of full flight test instrumentation systems
The AXN/CHS/09U is a compact nine user-slot data acquisition chassis, which includes a housing and backplane.
The AXN/ADC/401 is used to condition and digitize up to eight analog channels.
The AXN/ABM/401 is an ARINC-429 bus monitor which combines the capabilities of a coherent message parser with the flexibility of an iNET-X Packetizer.
The AXN/EXT/401 is an extender card, which allows modules contained in an Axonite (AXN/ITE/01U) remote housing to connect to an Axon chassis.
The AXN/ITE/01U allows Axon user modules to be housed remotely from the Axon chassis.
Axon Quick Start Kit
Axon is the most modern and capable data acquisition system available today. The Axon quick-start kit provides a basis for users to become rapidly familiar with the Axon DAU and the Axonite remote DAU. Using it, you will discover the advantages and new features offered by Axon as a complementary system to existing Curtiss-Wright data acquisition systems, or as a standalone unit.
This quick start kit consists of fully qualified, released hardware and software and may be expanded upon as future Axon user modules become available. In the kit you will find:
- Axon chassis (AXN/CHS/09U): The AXN/CHS/09U is a 9 user slot Axon Chassis that includes an isolated 100W power supply
- Axon Backplane Controller (AXN/BCU/401): The AXN/BCU/401 is a dual-port full-duplex, Gigabit Ethernet, Axon backplane controller, programmer and transmitter
- Axon Flexible Analog Module (AXN/ADC/401): The AXN/ADC/401 is used to condition and digitize up to eight configurable analog channels
- Axon ARINC 429 (AXN/ABM/401): A 24 channel ARINC-429 bus monitor/packetizer module
- Axonite (AXN/ITE/01U): The Axonite houses one Axon user module allowing a user module to be housed remotely from the Axon chassis
- Axonite Extender Card (AXN/EXT/401): An extender card, which allows a module contained in an Axonite (AXN/ITE/01U) remote housing to connect to an Axon chassis
- Laptop: A laptop with a copy of Das Studio (SWP/DAS/003) and TTCWare
- Cables and Connectors: All required cables and connectors
- Axon User Guide: A user guide with information on the use of Axon modules
Aerospace Instrumentation Brochure
Modern aerospace instrumentation systems can be highly complex, and it can be difficult to know how to meet program needs. It’s not unusual for requirements to change during a campaign and cause significant delays, and data must be captured reliably no matter what – otherwise expensive additional flights will be needed or months of program data could be lost. Read our brochure to learn how you can reduce your risk with commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) solutions.
Axon Data Acquisition Unit (DAU) Product Family Brochure
For airborne applications where reliability and size, weight, and power (SWaP) are critical, the Curtiss-Wright Axon family of data acquisition units (DAU) are ready to take flight. Designed leveraging our decades of experience as a trusted, proven leader, ADAUs are future-proof, SWaP-optimized, and available in a variety of flexible configurations to meet your exact program requirements.
