Digital Recorders feature removable drives.

Press Release Summary:




Suited for acquisition of sensitive data in secure establishments, Series GSR provides all-digital recording, flexible signal interfacing, and removable media. Rack-mounted, 256 Mbit/s units are capable of simultaneously acquiring multiple streams of data from ground, airborne, and satellite telemetry sources. Data retrieval may be via real-time reconstruction of original signal sources or by direct high-speed transfer of digital data to user's computing platform.

Heim Data Systems Introduces Removable Drives for GSR Series of Digital Recorders



Ideal for Acquisition of Sensitive Data in Secure Establishments

Heim Data Systems, Inc., a leading supplier of data acquisition equipment, introduces the new GSR Series with removable drives for high security missions involving the acquisition of sensitive data. Ideal for ground-based telemetry, satellite down link, multi-channel analog and bus recording, the easy- to- use GSR Series features all digital recording, high data integrity, flexible signal interfacing and removable media. Common applications for the GSR include recording satellite down link data and range telemetry.

The GSR Series is an economical, rack-mounting, 256 Mbit/s digital recorder capable of simultaneously acquiring multiple streams of data from ground, airborne and satellite telemetry sources. Once the data is acquired, it is recorded to a storage media system for later retrieval and analysis. Data retrieval may be via real time reconstruction of the original signal sources or by direct high-speed transfer of digital data to the user's computing platform over popular buses.

Heim's new GSR Series deploys the record media in an easily removable plug-in carrier. The carrier mates with a commercially available receiver in the GSR which allows physical removal of sensitive data at the completion of a secure mission, leaving the GSR free of non-volatile signal data memory. In addition to safe storage, the removable drives also allow multiple secure and non-secure missions to be run on the same GSR by dedicating separate record media carriers to each mission. The installation of compatible drive receivers in the user's analysis computer also provides a simple and secure means of rapid upload or download of large volumes of mission data to and from the GSR by the physical transfer of drive carriers.

The carriers can be fitted with hard disk drives or solid state flash drives in a variety of sizes, currently up to 300 GB. The drives can be written with IRIG106 Chapter 10 format compatible data, if required.

An integrated PC is a popular option for GSRs, providing enhanced file manipulation and data distribution possibilities. When this option is fitted, the PC hard drive is also mounted in a removable carrier to preserve the security of the GSR platform.
