The Development of a Low Cost Data Logging System for Flight Trials Based on an IBM Compatible PC (Personal Computer)

Abstract

This Memorandum describes the development of a data logging system based on an IBM compatible Personal Computer (PC) which extends both the airborne and ground based data recording capabilities within Flight Management Department at RAE Bedford. The new system supplements the existing Modular Data Acquisition System (MODAS) fitted to the research aircraft of RAE Bedford and maintains compatibility with existing recovery and plotting systems. It provides a portable record/replay capability and allows operations remote from base with immediate access to data, currently between sorties and potentially between runs in a sortie.
