Ampex Data Systems Corp produces integrated data acquisition and recording systems for the flight test community. Acquiring analog, digital, serial, avionics bus, audio and video signals and recording them in IRIG Chapter 10 files on removable memory modules, the Ampex miniRv2 is the premier worldwide flight test recording system. Available with a wide range of data acquisition modules, the system can be configured within the miniRv2 recorder chassis, a dual use airborne recorder, or as a standalone separate AMux data acquisition chassis. Chassis are interconnected using Ethernet which can also be used to capture and record other networks based data on the test platform. PCM output port allows selected parameters to be sent to a transmitter for real-time downlink of flight test data.
