GSS
The GSS is a high speed, high capacity, scalable, ground data acquisition system for applications with high channel counts and high bandwidth.
The GSS has a range of interface modules that record and replay high speed analog, MIL-STD-1553, PCM, video, Ethernet, serial data and various other signal/data sources. Data time stamping and multiplexing is achieved in dedicated hardware with synchronization inputs from IRIG and GPS time reference sources. This ensures excellent time resolution and systematic time correlation accuracy across all channels during replay and digital analysis.
Data storage for the GSS is mounted into two removable canisters that contain 5 drives each, and may be populated with a range of capacities in hard disk or solid state media. This allows the user to deploy various combinations of media to be configured for high capacity, mirroring or RAID implementation. The GSS also provides easily configured connectivity to high speed interfaces and networks for distribution, archiving and import of data.
A dual core 2.4 GHz processor with 4 GB RAM, 64 bit operating system and a large, high resolution screen provides an integrated platform for system configuration, control and monitoring. The controller has a removable system boot drive, which allows all recordable non-volatile media to be removed from the system for security purposes. A DVD-RW drive provides local system support and program upload/download capability.
A user’s computer can provide complete remote operation via an easily installed virtual system application connected to GSS through serial or Ethernet interfaces. The system is IRIG106 Chapter 10 compatible.
The GSS is a high quality digital solution for applications such as range telemetry acquisition (including pre-detection recording), satellite downlink monitoring, large test establishments and replacement of legacy IRIG106 wideband tape recorder systems.
Contact your local sales manager for more details and demonstrations.

GSR200 DE
Ideal for ground-based telemetry, satellite downlink, and test cell recording, the GSR200DE features all digital recording, high data integrity, flexible signal interfacing and removable media.
Recorded media is deployed in an easily removable plug-in carrier. This allows physical removal of sensitive data at the completion of a secure mission, leaving the GSR free of non-volatile signal data memory. In addition to safe storage, the removable drives allow multiple secure and non-secure missions to be run on the same GSR by dedicating separate record media carriers to each mission.
The carriers can be fitted with hard disk drives or solid-state flash drives in a variety of sizes, currently up to 256 GB. The drives can be written with IRIG106 Chapter 10 format compatible data, if required.
