TSAR – Telemetry Spectrum Analysis & Recorder
RINCON RESEARCH CORPORATION’S
3rd Generation Telemetry Spectrum Analysis Recorder (TSAR) distributed by Telspan Data is
a radio frequency (RF) multi-channel recorder/analyzer with 2-GHz of bandwidth.
Available in 1U and Portable form factors
Highlights
- Up to 4 channels of coherent (time-aligned) recording & replay
- Recorded data is time-tagged using the internal GPS or external timing signals
- Maximum recording rate of 5 GBytes/sec
- Sub-band tuners provide capability to record channels down to 10 kHz
- Recordings can be done in single shot or in looped mode
- In looped mode, new data overwrites older data for indefinite recording duration
- Data replay reproduces the recorded analog signals to the output channels
- Web-browser-based control application (FieldVision) runs record/replay applications & allows downloading of recording files directly from the from the web browser
as RAW, BLUE, PLATINUM or CH10 files - Network transfer data offload application allows moving data from the recorder to a server at 800 MB/s by running a containerized application on the server
- FieldTransfer application allows uploading or downloading of RAW or BLUE data files
- FieldView application presents a spectral view of the entire recording and allows
sub-band tuning & time/frequency measurements; selections can be downloaded
