Highlights

Ultra-Small Strain-Capable Package

SLICE6 AIR-BR is designed for test applications with tight space and mass constraints. The compact size allows the data acquisition units to be positioned near the sensors, reducing cable length, installation time, and costs.

Precision Timing

IEEE 1588 PTPv2 timing and Ethernet networking make it practical to deploy multiple units across a test article while maintaining aligned time bases for correlation and system-level analysis.

Dual Streaming and Recording

SLICE6 AIR records to non-volatile flash memory, streams real-time, or both to support data security, access restrictions, high-risk test environments, or non-recoverable test articles.

Standalone, Network, or Integrate

SLICE6 AIR-BR data acquisition units are designed to work standalone, networked for high-channel count tests, or integrated into existing Ethernet-based FTI ecosystems.

Applications

SLICE6 AIR-BR fits dynamic programs that need compact, close-to-sensor instrumentation for strain-heavy or mixed analog measurements. It is well suited to embedded and airborne deployments where reliable timing, rugged packaging, and flexible data access are all important.
