Performs frame synchronization, data extraction, and bit/word reversal on IRIG-106 compliant formats. Features programmable sync patterns, variable word lengths 4-16 bits, and subframe/superframe decommutation. Includes 256MB onboard buffer, hardware time tagging, and DMA transfers. Supports external clock/data inputs via differential RS-422 or TTL interfaces. Provides real-time data distribution through dual-port RAM and interrupt-driven event notification. Common applications include satellite ground stations, flight test ranges, launch vehicle telemetry, and aerospace instrumentation systems requiring high-throughput PCM stream processing. ## Function PCM decommutation, bit synchronization, frame synchronization, subframe synchronization, data extraction, real-time data processing, PCI bus interface, host computer data transfer, telemetry data processing, and data stream recording. ## Platform Designed for integration within PCI bus architecture systems, this equipment operates as a multi-function PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) decommutator, interfacing directly with digital data streams for telemetry and communication processing. It connects via standard PCI slots, enabling high-throughput data acquisition and real-time signal processing, commonly applied in aerospace and defense telemetry ground stations for decoding, data routing, and storage subsystems. Compatible with telemetry data buses and standard synchronization signals, supporting modular expansion within complex data processing environments. ## Application High-performance, low-cost PCM data processing solution integrating essential decom functionality into a single PCI card, enabling frame synchronization, bit/frame synch strategy, decommutation, time processing, built-in-test, bit rate measurement, and IRIG time code reader/generator functions. Supports synchronization strategies including Forward/Reverse, Flywheel, Best Guess, User-defined modes, and Quick Look. Handles multi-bit rates, PCM codes, and pattern recognition with BERT capabilities. Processes both major/minor frames, accommodates various word/frame sizes, and interfaces with other system hardware via PCM data input paths, Time Code Reader inputs, and multiple I/O connections. ## Accessories PCI bus interface, IRIG time synchronization input (BNC), PCM input (SMA), analog outputs (BNC), digital outputs (D-sub 25), external trigger input (BNC), software development kit ## Interface DB37 female for TTL clock/data/status signals, DB9 male RS-232 serial control port, BNC connectors for IRIG-B timecode input and 10MHz reference clock input/output, dual RJ45 Ethernet ports for network connectivity, standard PCI 2.2 compliant 32-bit 33MHz edge connector, front panel LED indicators for power/status/sync/error conditions, internal 40-pin IDE header for optional CompactFlash storage module, SMB coaxial connectors for external trigger input/output, DIP switch bank for hardware configuration settings ## Images - - - -
