Recorder display - must be able to display data in the traditional "strip chart recorder" mode of 16 vertical or horizontal traces. The time-base/scroll-rate of this display must be user- selectable. It must be possible to stop the data from moving in order to zoom in on data from several minutes before, without interrupting recording. When this function is being used, the system must provide bar graphs that show the "live" or current input signal conditions. It must be possible to set high/low alarm levels for each input, and the system must indicate graphically whether these levels have been met or exceeded during a test, and provide an easy way to see exactly when the conditions were met or exceeded, and what the signal level was, without interrupting recording.

On-screen cursors shall be provided for taking measurements from data, including amplitude measurements at any location on the signal, as well as measuring the time/frequency delta (difference) between any two visible points. b) The system must include a dual-port video output so that a second flat-panel display can be attached to the system. Printing Capabilities a) The system software must allow captured data to be printed immediately after acquisition, in full- color, using any locally connected or network-connected industry standard printer b) No special or proprietary paper or printers will be considered c) Any Windows-compatible printer shall be connectable locally via either EPP parallel port interface, or via USB d) Any Windows-compatible printer can be connectable remotely via standard Ethernet connection using TCP/IP and other standard Windows protocols. Report Generation Capabilities a) The system software must allow captured data to be reviewed on-screen immediately after acquisition, in full-color, using on-screen cursors for making measurements and altering the time- axis to "zoom in" on areas of interest and spread them out across the maximum useable width of the display. b) The system software must provide easy exporting of the data to a variety of data formats, including: Microsoft Excel, Matlab, National Instruments Diadem, and delimited ASCII text format. c) Video data acquired must be exportable to the Windows standard AVI multimedia format, and must include also the waveforms in a graph below the video window d) The system software must be capable of saving or "trimming" a file to a subset of the original data file in its native format, as a means of reducing storage requirements. e) The system software must be a stand-alone Windows program which can be installed on any computer in our facility, license and royalty-free, to facilitate the off-line analysis of acquired data by a wide group of users. All functions of the analysis portion of the system software must be useable when installed on any Windows PC, and when a data file is loaded into it, including report generation, zooming and on-screen measurements, printing of data files, and exporting selected data to other file formats. Aggregate Data throughput: 40 MB per second or greater. Data Recording Capability: Must be able to record data to removable solid state hard drive continuously up to 200 KHz/channel (non-aggregate) with a minimum of 22-bit resolution.

(End of provision) MICC/Local Clauses: AMC-Level Protest Program (Nov 2008) If you have complaints about this procurement, it is preferable that you first attempt to resolve those concerns with the responsible contracting officer. However, you can also protest to Headquarters, AMC. The HQ, AMC-Level Protest Program is intended to encourage interested parties to seek resolution of their concerns within AMC as an Alternative Dispute Resolution forum, rather than filing a protest with the Government Accountability Office or other external forum. Contract award or performance is suspended during the protest to the same extent, and within the same time periods, as if filed at the GAO. The AMC protest decision goal is to resolve protests within 20 working days from filing. To be timely, protests must be filed within the periods specified in FAR 33.10. If you want to file a protest under the AMC-Level Protest Program, the protest must request resolution under that program and be sent to the address below. All other agency-level protests should be sent to the contracting officer for resolution. HQ Army Material Command Office of Command Counsel 9301 Chapek Rd, Room 2-1SE3401 Ft. Belvoir, VA 22060-5527 Facsimile number (703) 806-8866 or 8875 Packages sent by FedEx or UPS should be addressed to: HQ Army Material Command Office of Command Counsel Room 2-1SE3401 1412 Jackson Loop Ft. Belvoir, VA 22060-5527 The AMC-Level Protest procedures are found at: http://www.amc.army.mil/pa/COMMANDCOUNSEL.asp. If internet access is not available, contact the contracting officer or HQ, AMC to obtain the AMC Level Protest Procedure. Questions must be submitted in writing. All questions concerning this requirement must be emailed to the Point of Contact (POC) identified below no later than Thursday, 05 April 2012 at 8:00 a.m. MST. This RFQ closes on Thursday, 12 April 2012 at 8:00AM Mountain Standard Time (MST). Responses to the RFQ shall be submitted by the closing date indicated in the CSS to the POC identified below.
