IRIG106 Chapter 10
The IRIG106 telemetry standards document now contains a Chapter 10. This updated version contains standards that will lead to a revolution in the way airborne telemetry data is captured, recorded, analyzed and distributed.
Enertec supported this standard in its continuing efforts to provide its customers with economic, accurate data acquisition systems that provide data to the users' analysis platforms in effective, predictable and controllable ways.
Enertec’s range of rugged mission recorders include the ability to record avionics bus, PCM and video data in compliance with the standard format.
This update to IRIG106 represents the culmination of several years effort on the part of the Range Commanders Council, Manufacturers and Users to formulate a new standard for solid state flight recorders. The standard responds to two important technology changes that have developed during the past decade.
Firstly, the ability to economically digitize and multiplex all types of data such that recordings can be made in purely digital format. Digital recording has many advantages over earlier analog technologies; accurate time bases, improved signal fidelity and direct input to analysis platforms being just a few of the important capabilities of digital recording. Secondly, the rapidly reducing price of large (multi-gigabyte) solid state memory has for the first time made it economical to consider solid state as a practical media choice for data acquisition in more severe non-benign environments.
IRIG106 Chapter 10 standardizes the digital data format for recording solid state and other random access media. This will ensure that conforming equipment will record flight data in a uniform manner such that the data input specification for signal reproducers, signal analyzers and display/analysis software will not be dependent on the type or manufacture of the flight recorder. Captured flight data will arrive at the user's facility in standard format.
Further, the standard provides for a uniform method of high speed download from the record media and for a uniform method of remote control. Compatible download stations will be assured of transferring data from any compliant recorder or media cartridge at any location, unaffected by who manufactured the air and ground equipment.
