Heim Data Systems, Inc. Digital Flight Recorders Support New IRIG106 Telemetry Standard


March 13, 2006

Heim Data Systems, Inc., a leading supplier of data acquisition, record and replay equipment, announces that its D200f system now supports the IRIG106 Chapter 10 standard. With modular signal interfacing and interchangeable media cartridges, the D200f provides highly flexible, modular solutions that can easily adapt to changing mission requirements in airborne and mobile applications. The new interface standard will lead to a revolution in the way airborne telemetry data is captured, recorded, analyzed, and distributed by standardizing the digital data recording directory and data format for solid state media.

The IRIG 106 Chapter 10 interface standard provides a well defined control and download interface. The interface supports requirements for inter-vendor playback of data for software-based de-commutation systems and hardware-based telemetry systems. For users of analysis applications integrated with hardware based data collection systems, the standard supports complete analog reconstruction of the original signal types while preserving accurate time coherency between channels. The standard supports reconstruction of a wide range of signal types, including Video, MIL-STD-1553, PCM, analog and discrete data.

The IRIG 106 Chapter 10 standard represents the culmination of several years' effort by the Range Commanders Council, manufacturers and users to formulate a new standard for solid state flight recorders. Heim Data Systems general manager, Johnny Pappas, said "These new IRIG106 Chapter 10 products from Heim are based on our long experience in recording a wide range of signal types using packet format and precision data time stamping technology. The ability to record data on multiple media types such as tape, hard disk or flash disk offers a wide range of affordable options that provide flexible and scaleable solutions for project-specific signal interface and operational requirements. The test community will benefit from rapid growth in a wide range of pre- and post-flight support tools, and will not require extensive development time to integrate third party products."

Introduction of the IRIG 106 Chapter 10 compliant D200f airborne and ground mobile recorders provide users with vital solutions to facilitate much needed data format and interface commonality for efficient data acquisition, distribution and analysis.
