TTC AIM-2004, 2005R & 2006 IRIG 106 Chapter 10 Multiplexer/Recorder
The AIM-2004/2005R/2006 units support external recorders and are designed to accept up to four, five, or six data acquisition cards that provide various interfaces.
Each unit includes an overhead (OVH-3X0) processor card, a Time/CAIS Bus Mezzanine (RCI-305) card, and the AIM-2005R has optional removable solid-state memory. Input data is multiplexed into a single high-speed data transport to the external or internal media.
The AIM units accept IRIG B AC or DC time to support IRIG Chapter 4 for selected data through the CAIS bus. IRIG Chapter 10 is supported for recorded data timestamping.
These AIM units can also operate as CAIS remote data acquisition units. This capability allows specific data from incoming data sources (including PCM, 1553, IEEE 1394b, and Fibre Channel) to be captured and also allows card, unit, and recorder status to be communicated to a CAIS controller for flight safety data transmission.
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.
