Compact High Channel Count, High Frequency, Rotating Data Acquisition and Transmission

ABSTRACT:IR Telemetrics will leverage its existing data acquisition technology to design, build, and demonstrate a Compact, High Channel Count, High Frequency, Rotating Data Acquisition and Transmission System. The modular, scale-able system will digitize with over 18-bit resolution and a minimum 300 kSPS sample rate and be able to spin at over 25,000 rpm. Data transmission will be accomplished with a 2-way wireless transceiver with real-time streaming data storage onto an external PC. Power will be sent to the transmitter by way of inductive power coils, eliminating the need for batteries inside the unit. This package occupies a 3" by 3" cylindrical space. A 4-channel unit will be used to demonstrate the functionality and modularity of the system prior to full 300+ channel system development during Phase II.BENEFIT:It is anticipated that the developed system will be used to serve IR Telemetrics current customer base in Internal Combustion Engine development and expand their capability into gas, steam, and wind turbine engine development. The system will allow IR Telemetrics to offer higher density channel count and higher sampling rate than its current offering. IR Telemetrics believes that this will be immediately applicable after Phase I development and that full Phase II development will offer an even broader opportunity for commercialization.
