The disk-based recorder contains two removable 144 Gb disks. The system comes configured with four analog input and output channels and four digital (PCM) input and output channels. Each analog channel can sample from .5 to 20 MSPS. Each digital channel can sample from 0 to 40 Mb/sec. The relative timing is better than 1 Microsecond. The absolute timing is better than 10 microseconds. The recorder also contains its own internal built-in MUX which has the ability to support up to 12 analog channels and 12 digital channels simultaneously. The recorder has a total aggregate rate of 220 Mb/sec in mirrored mode and 440 Mb/sec in striped mode. The recorder can be locally controlled using the intuitive front panel (REC, STOP, PLAY) or remotely controlled through the RS-232 port and GUI. The system includes archive/restore support (using an optionally provided external SCSI tape device, such as AIT-3 or DAS3000-AIT3 Tape Array) and PC/workstation data transfer. Additionally, the recorder employs a built-in-test (BIT) which confirms system integrity. The optional controller for the DRS2100E-144Gb-4A4D provides single point GUI based platform to control DRSXX00E and DAS3000; provides PC-based hardware and software for archive of recorded data; provides PC-based hardware and software to restore archived data to recorder; provides PC-based hardware and software for data products generation; provides cost effective PC-based hardware and software platform to deliver archive and data products via removable hard drives, USB drives, USB memory sticks, CD, DVDs, etc.; provides PC-based hardware and software for remote control utilizing XP remote desktop via Gbit Eternet port; and IU rack mount.
