System Capabilities and Configurations

Highlights:

  • Sensors can be added or removed easily to meet the mission requirements.

  • System can interface directly with experiment, or operate autonomously.

  • CDU uses modular PC/104 stack, which is small, light, and low-power.

  • FLASH data storage (no moving parts), or hard drives for maximum data storage.

  • RMS measurements available for abbreviated data.

  • < 12 Watts total power consumption for single TSH system (+2 W for each additional TSH)
