SES Solid State Data Recorder - Compact Expandable

The S3DR product family is a low cost, high performance, rugged solution to the processing and data recording needs of environmentally challenging embedded system, such as those found in aerospace, defence, naval and safety-related or high performance industrial applications.

The S3DR product family is designed with flexibility and expandability in mind. S3DR-CE (Compact Extended) is a specialisation of the more generic product family providing communications, data acquisition and data recording functions where space and mass are at a premium. The unit features a high-speed solid state memory recording function, that is able to write data to memory media from multiple monitored interfaces at combined speeds of up to 60 Mbits (7.5 Mbytes) per second.

The S3DR-CE supports either PCMCIA style high capacity solid state cartridges (with max storage capacity 16GByte).

The S3DR-CE is extremely configurable through the presence of an onboard embedded computer and flexible FPGA, allowing application specific data gathering regimes and various I/O options to be accommodated, the S3DR-CE is also designed for serious expansion allowing multiple data acquisition and communications options, which can either be configured in a distributed or integrated architecture.

The S3DR-CE can be used as a data recorder or for data uploading applications.

Typical applications of S3DR-CE include use as a mission recorder, flight test recorder, Quick Access Recorder, engine test data acquisition unit or incident investigation recorder. Typical configurations can be specified focussing on Audio, Video, Data bus, Ethernet or Vibration monitoring.
