PCM400 MICRO-MINIATURE PROGRAMMABLE DATA ACQUISITION SYSTEM

SAN DIEGO, CA – Our PCM400 is a fifth-generation micro-miniature programmable data acquisition system (DAS) suited for ultra-small weapons and UAS tactical and flight test applications.

In any test environment, reliability, size, ease of use and cost are major factors in selecting data acquisition equipment. The PCM400 DAS was architected to address the dynamic needs of modern test systems in an ultra-miniature form factor consisting of interface and power supply modules, while still supporting legacy interfaces to ease the transition as test environments are modernized.

The PCM400’s flight heritage is based on the highly successful L-3 T&RF DAS series PCM 330 & 600 models which have supported a variety of smart weapons, UAS and launch vehicle programs.

Driven by demands for increased functionality, performance and channel density, the PCM400 DAS encoder sets new standards for size, weight, high data rates, high fidelity and tight tolerances and an backed by an unmatched history of successful in-flight performance.
