PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
A network of
high-speed video
cameras ensures
complete coverage of
store separation tests
during flight for pilot
and ground control.
with useful accessories that hold
up under extreme environmental
conditions are the core elements
of these high-speed image data
recording systems.
The camera’s core is a sensitive
CMOS sensor that is embedded
into a well-built thermally
balanced design to avoid any
issues during operation. The
camera is tested according to
MIL810 and MIL461 standards.
In addition, the camera offers
built in CFast interface for
in-camera data storage on a nonvolatile
medium.
Up to 12 cameras are supported
by the ASTREC-4 controller. The
interface commands for piloting
the cameras come either from the
cockpit, the aircraft’s electronic,
or via telemetry system from
ground control. Each camera is
connected via Gigabit Ethernet
after tests in order,
so that the camera memory is
free for the next recording. The
controller serves as the central
point for parametrization and
video data download.
To record store separation the
cameras are placed in the
designated position and linked to
the ASTREC-4 controller. The
ground staff parametrize the
cameras and controller with
necessary settings. Upon starting
the engine for the flight, the
system boots up and
automatically records the event
through a simple trigger input, by
means of manual input or from
aircraft electronics. Via video
interface to telemetry system the
ground staff can witness the
events live. After return to ground
the sequences are available for
in-depth analysis. \\

HIGH SPEED DATA
ACQUISITION SOLUTIONS
Elsys offers fast, high
precision data
acquisition instruments
and solutions. Elsys
data acquisition
instruments are
successfully used in a
output driven developments.
Fast sampling rates from 2 to 240MHz make the
products suitable for a versatile number of application
fields like material testing (acoustic emission, ultrasound
measurements), power measurements (high voltage
circuit breakers, spike detection, efficiency measurement)
or ballistic and blast measurements.
Elsys’ family of TraNET devices offers turnkey data
acquisition solutions and are extensible from four 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
suitable for travelling maintenance personnel. Larger
systems like the TraNET EPC are built in a standard 19in
industrial chassis and offer high speed data throughput
on longtime streaming applications.
The outstanding strength of Elsys DAQ solutions is the
flexibility for specific customer modifications. This could
either be a modified instrument chassis, the integration of
additional third party hardware or even modified or
additional software functionality in the application
Software TranAX. Several open software interfaces allow
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
support in many different programming languages. \\
