A VERSATILE DATA TAPE SYSTEM FOR STATIC AND DYNAMIC TESTS.

Abstract

A tape data system has been developed at NCEL to gather, record, reduce, and present data obtained in static and dynamic tests. The system has been instrumental in affecting a marked reduction in the time and cost of processing test data. The tape data system can be considered as consisting of two separate systems. The gathering and recording functions comprise one system at the site of the experiment; the reducing and presenting functions comprise another system located at the NCEL computer facility. The tape data system is modular, provides time reference, and provides for time base expansion and contraction. Final results can be presented in convenient forms including oscillograms, pen recordings, various types of plots, punched cards, typewritten pages, and photographs of an oscilloscope. (Author)
