Seal Beach, CA – (Apr. 27, 2020, Update)

Dear Valued Clients and Associates,

We are open.

At this time all DTS offices worldwide remain open and ready to respond to your needs. We continue to monitor the Coronavirus pandemic and respond with our best efforts. The Health and Safety of our staff, clients, suppliers and agents is our top priority.

We will continue to navigate these uncertain times by being responsible citizens, while also striving to meet commitments to our customers. As part of the Defense Industrial Base, DTS along with many of our clients and suppliers have a responsibility to continue to operate as part of the Critical Infrastructure of the United States.

Our staff is our first priority. We have implemented CDC guidelines for hygiene practices in the workplace, including requiring every employee reporting in for work to record their temperature daily. Employees with elevated temperatures, symptoms of illness or known contact with infected individuals will not be allowed to enter our workplace. All travel has been eliminated or minimized to only what is safe and essential.

Our scheduling and planning team is working daily to accommodate all customers, with top priority shipments based on customer needs. DTS will communicate regarding any deliveries that may be impacted and work with you to find the best solution. We encourage our clients to contact customerservice@dtsweb.com or sales@dtsweb.com regarding any requests to:

• move scheduled orders out
• bring orders in to ship early
• accept partial shipments

Product calibration and repairs continue at all DTS support sites. The COVID-19 outbreak requires that we work differently, but we are working to maintain standard lead times and meet customer needs. For customers that normally take advantage of our on-site calibration services, we are offering complimentary shipping to a DTS support site closest to you.

DTS has implemented staggered work shifts and work-from-home practices. Our Engineering and Software teams are following our 2020 business plan to ensure product development timelines stay on track. Our Sales and Business Development teams are available to discuss current and future opportunities.

Thank you for your ongoing support and partnership. Our company mission is to be the most trusted provider in the markets we serve. We aim to honor that objective through these challenging times and the future.

Sincerely,

Steve Pruitt, CEO

Seal Beach, CA – (Aug. 2019) – Introducing the new SLICE6 AIR data acquisition system to measure analog signals for in-flight, aerospace and defense testing. Offering flexibility and powerful new functionality, the ultra-small SLICE6 AIR allows test engineers to embed the data recorder in locations that were previously inaccessible. SLICE6 AIR can be used standalone, networked for high channel counts tests or easily integrated into existing Ethernet-based flight test instrumentation.

Measuring just 42 x 42 x 13mm with a mass of 50 grams, the miniature SLICE6 AIR is optimized for size, weight and power (SWaP). The rugged module can be embedded on or in small test articles like unmanned systems, munitions and helicopter rotors without altering test dynamics. Positioning the DAQ near the sensors eliminates complicated cable runs that can get tangled or cause issues with signal or power drops, plus it helps reduce test set-up time.

SLICE6 AIR offers real-time streaming in IRIG (Chapter 10 or TmNS) as well as store-in-place recording. The system also supports Ethernet timing and synchronization using IEEE 1588 PTPV2 protocol. These new features, along with all the functionality of its proven SLICE6 DAQ predecessor, make it ideal for applications requiring high-speed streaming data collection and precision timing.

“Flight test engineers are always looking for ways to reduce lengthy test set-up time,” says Huy Nguyen, DTS Aerospace and Defense Sales Manager. “SLICE6 AIR can be rapidly deployed at the last minute to support test modifications ‒ like additional sensor channels or new points of interest ‒ making it a real game-changer for speeding up the test process.”

The onboard IEEE 1588 compliant Ethernet functionality allows the 6-channel SLICE6 unit to be expanded to hundreds of channels (via PTPv2 daisy-chaining ) per test setup. Programmable sampling rates support a variety of sensors including full and half-bridge, strain gauges, pressure sensors, voltage input and thermocouples. Data writes directly to onboard flash memory.

Miniature SLICE6 AIR data acquisition system is optimized for size, weight and power (SWaP) and designed to embed on or in small test articles without altering test dynamics.
