Abstract :
Boeing North American (BNA) have been conducting remote data acquisition trials on military and civil transportation platforms. BNA performed an analysis of available data acquisition systems. The SoMat Model 2100 Field Computer was selected after passing preliminary outgassing and functional testing. The formal program to develop an Enhanced Data Acquisition System (EDAS) was initiated in February 1997. MSFC undertook further system analyses: determining the location of the data acquisition unit in the SRB; identifying EDAS/SRB integration requirements; and identifying requirements for the EDAS enclosure, connectors, cables, and cable routing
