STATS: a unique high speed, multiple channel, real-time data acquisition system
A Stand Alone Test System, called STATS, was developd to acquire and analyze data from as many as 120 analog channels. STATS is used in testing weapon systems under simulated environments at a laboratory in Texas. Some analog channels are sampled every 10 microseconds, but most are digitized every 100 microseconds. STATS features hardware data compression and a first-in-first-out buffer for each channel. It has also provided a way for the test configuration to be controlled by the diskette files that contain the test specifications. The analysis specifications are also predefined in diskette files keyed to the particular test type. The techniques used are applicable when many channels must be monitored simultaneously, channel activity comes in spurts separated by long quiet periods, and more than a few channels experience nearly simultaneous bursts of activity.
