60 Channel Data Collection Module Series A (DCM)

The DCM was originally developed to be mounted in the chest cavity of a crash test dummy and record crash test data from a plethora of sensors without a huge bundle of wires. The DCM is high precision, with 16 bit differential inputs sampled at 40 kHz sample rate. A built-in GPS receiver provides accurate an precise time synchronization. It has been extensively tested by an ARMY laboratory, and was quite literally found to be equal or superior to laboratory data collection systems that occupy an entire equipment rack.

The DCM is unsurpassed for field test data collection. What used to require an entire van full of signal conditioning equipment can be replaced by one small box that fits comfortably inside a lady’s handbag.

Although the DCM can be powered externally, it includes an internal rechargeable battery pack. It will run continuously on the internal batteries for 45 minutes. In locations where some air flow is possible, a solid state cooling unit built into the DCM permits unlimited operation time, maintaining the internal temperature at 25º F above ambient. Where airflow is not possible, such as when the unit is sealed within the chest cavity of a crash test dummy, the DCM will operate for a minimum of 20 minutes before overheating and automatically shutting down. To insure the accuracy of the data regardless of the internal temperature, the DCM data channels are temperature compensated, using 32 internal temperature sensors located throughout the module.

For maximum flexibility, the gain, offset, and sample rate of all 60 channels are software controlled. The DCM can be programmed and the stored data read via an Ethernet link. Over 5 minutes of data can be stored. Data can also be transmitted, in real time as it is digitized, though the Ethernet link.
