Data acquisition system for aerospace applications Axon series

Our Axon family is the most advanced airborne data acquisition system available today, offering low size, weight, and power (SWaP) with the best feature set and performance on the market. The ultra-compact and lightweight data acquisition units (DAU) of the Axon family build on Curtiss-Wright’s heritage as a leading supplier of rugged reliable data acquisition and works with our other widely used DAU chassis. The Axon family is made up of the Axon ADAU range, optimized for use with the TTC MnACQ DAUs and the Axon AXN, optimized for use with the Acra KAM-500 network-based DAUs. Axon ADAU/AXN support the same data formats and can be configured using the same setup software as the other Curtiss-Wright DAUs they are optimized for. Data between chassis can be synchronized easily over the IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol (PTP) protocol. Axon features include: High data throughput (up to 380 Mbps per DAU) and dedicated high-speed link to each user module Compact and flexible configurations, including remotely mounted modules, for simplified installation Designed from the ground up for harsh environments for reliable operation in all conditions Multiple modern time- and cost-saving functions, such as in-situ updating, faster pre-flight checks, and system health monitoring High data quality and filtering options, including three output taps per channel on all analog modules and a choice of 10 different filter cutoff points (using FIR / IIR8 / IIR16 filtering) Single 15V backplane power rail for improved efficiency Support for multiple industry-standard formats
