ACCE

Every Ampex data recorder ships with the Ampex Common Compute Environment (ACCE) pre-installed, providing a unified, mission-ready interface for data acquisition, management, and control right out of the box. The beauty of this software-defined approach lies in its shift from traditional, often rigid, hardware-defined paradigms to a more adaptable, software-centric model.
