Precision Aircraft Data Acquisition Unit
SkyLog-DAU
VERSATILITY
The Data Acquisition Unit (SKYLOG-DAU) features an internal back plane with up to eight interchangeable cards to support rapid customization and configuration for various applications.
The unit supports a dual channel configuration with redundant acquisition cards and redundant processing used to support higher integrity applications.
FPGA based processing coupled with high speed analog front ends allows both digital(e.g. ARINC-429) and analog (e.g. Synchro) signals to be measured with the same pins in different applications.
Total I/O capability is determined by exact card configurations and pin availability, e.g.
- Differential (input): 48 channels
- Single Ended (input): 96 channels
- Transcievers: 6 channels
- Discrete Outputs: 2 channels
- Auxiliary Outputs: 4 protected 28VDC
