A DIGITAL SYSTEM FOR DATA COLLECTION, REDUCTION, AND ANALYSIS

Abstract

The Ordnance Research Laboratory has developed equipment and facilities to record, reduce, and analyze test data. The data-recording system converts the data from 45 analog signal sources to digital form and records the digital data on tape. The equipment is small enough to be installed in a torpedo. The field data-reduction system permits in-the-field evaluation of the test data. The laboratory data-reduction system includes a general-purpose digital computer. Both the present and projected capabilities of this system are described. (Author)
