DATA CAPTURE FOR FTI
New commercial and military aircraft
production is preceded by extensive flight
tests to prove the performance of the aircraft
and its sub-systems. The Developmental Test
(DT) and Operational Test (OT) stages are
conducted via a suite of sensors installed to
measure physical parameters and monitor
the command and response messages
between the sub-systems. Later, during
operation, the aircraft may also need to
collect data from on-board sensors. On-board
recorders are used to capture multiple hours
of data from the Flight Test Instrumentation
(FTI), sensor suite, and aircraft avionics buses
for post-test or post-flight download and
analysis on the ground.
DT doesn’t always require the aircraft’s full
suite of sensors and other permanently fitted
sub-systems, which means there is usually
adequate space for mounting the FTI,
including the recorders. In contrast, during OT
systems will be installed,
available for the FTI and
on-board data recorders.
A new class of size and weight optimized
data recorders provides a solution suitable
for supporting DT, OT and operational usage.
The rugged, compact Advanced Data Server
and Recorder series of data aggregator and
recorders, weighing only 2.2kg, reduces both
size and weight by around 50% compared to
HIGH SPEED DATA ACQUISITION
Elsys offers fast high precision data
acquisition (DAQ) instruments and
solutions. Elsys data acquisition instruments
are successfully implemented in a wide range
of applications and promote efficiency and
output driven developments.
Fast sampling rates from 2 to 240MHz
make the products suitable for a versatile
number of application fields. An example is
material testing with applications such as
acoustic emission and ultrasound
measurements; power measurements such
as high voltage circuit breakers, spike
detection and efficiency measurement, or
ballistic and blast measurements.
The Elsys family of TraNET devices offers
turnkey data acquisition solutions and can be
extended from 4 up to 32 channels per device.
They are suitable for field measurements or
service and maintenance tasks. The compact
size of the TraNET FE devices makes them
handy for travelling maintenance personnel.

Several open software interfaces enable
the integration of the Elsys DAQ solution in
almost any customer specific environment.
If any support is needed, Elsys can provide
software integration know-how and is also
capable of working with many different
programming languages. \\
