Highlights

Proven In-Dummy DAS Heritage

TDAS G5 is the first in-dummy DAS solution developed for a regulatory anthropomorphic test device (ATD). TDAS G5 was engineered by DTS as part of the ISO World Side Impact Dummy (WorldSID) Task Group.

Flexible Deployment

The TDAS G5 module is designed to transition from in-dummy to onboard docking-station options, plus it can be adapted for smart load-cell walls and crash barriers.

Standalone High-Speed Recording

Integrated signal conditioning, adjustable filters, high bandwidth options, and direct-to-flash recording support untethered acquisition during short-duration, high-consequence events.

Compact, Distributed Architecture

TDAS G5 supports distributed data acquisition close to the point of measurement, helping reduce cable length, simplify dummy and vehicle setup, and improve signal quality in demanding dynamic test environments.

Applications

The rugged enclosure and high-density channel count make TDAS G5 ideal for a wide range of dynamic testing applications. Its ability to move seamlessly from in-dummy to onboard use gives test engineers greater flexibility across test programs.

Applications include:

In-Dummy DAS

SOFTWARE
