Heim Data Systems expands range of signal interfaces

Compact, high-capacity modules for the acquisition of video and PCM and avionics bus data are now part of Heim Data Systems’ range of signal interfaces.

Compact, high-capacity signal interface modules from Heim Data Systems provide accurate, reliable solutions for acquiring data from evolving sensor sources.

Compact, high-capacity modules for the acquisition of video and PCM and avionics bus data are now part of Heim Data Systems ’ range of signal interfaces. Each plug-in module has up to eight sensor inputs for increased signal capacity. Flexible solutions interface high-performance instrumentation and flight test recorders with a variety of sensors. Together with existing interfaces for analog, serial digital, parallel digital, and avionics buses, they provide accurate and reliable solutions for acquiring data from evolving sensor sources.

Users can acquire data from 8 PCM, 4 video, and 8 MIL-STD-1553 module bus sources using a single recorder, such as the Heim D5000 Series. Data from all modules are recorded with high-resolution time tagging to enhance ability to accurately correlate visual and communications events with telemetry and other sensor measurements.

Each interface is contained within a rugged aluminum housing and includes robust connectors and securing screws. All configurations and settings are software programmable through the mainframe’s own manual controls or through serial or Ethernet remote interfaces. An available Ftrans remote control and data transfer application provides a convenient user interface to the recorders and data.
