Multiplexer (AMux 600) Product Line
Airborne Systems

The AMux™ 600 is a modular and configurable multiplexer/de-multiplexer that works with both DSRs 400/440 and miniR 700 Data Recorders.

The Amux 600 multiplexer features IRIG 106 Chapter 10 compliant packetization. It is designed for rugged, and harsh airborne environments. Input channels are provided in modular forms that can be combined and configured to suit different application requirements. It may be connected to either a DSRs400/440 recorder via the IMS (Internal Multiplexer subsystem) or a miniR700 recorder via an adaptor module such as mR-X01. Since the I/O modules of Amux 600 are mechanically compatible with miniR 700, they may be attached to miniR directly as one unit. The recorded data is demultiplexed via software on a Windows or Linux-based platform on Ampex Model DSRs 410 or 410ex Ground Playback Systems.
