Highlights
Low SWaP Package
Small size, low mass, and integrated signal conditioning allow SLICE6 AIR data acquisition units to be mounted close to sensors, which reduces cable runs, installation setup time, and costs.
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.
Time Synchronization
An IEEE 1588-compliant Ethernet switch supports PTPv2 daisy-chaining, making it easier to build synchronized distributed systems across multiple airborne or onboard measurement points.
Standalone, Network, or Integrate
SLICE6 AIR data acquisition units are designed to work standalone, networked for high-channel count tests, or integrated into existing Ethernet-based flight test instrumentation.
Applications
SLICE6 AIR is SWaP-optimized for size, weight, and power, making it ideal for tests that require accurate analog data in remote or non-recoverable locations. Its combination of onboard recording, streaming, and time synchronization makes it well suited for a wide range of airborne test applications.
