Millimeter Wave TWT Life Test Monitor
Abstract
This report presents information on a monitor which can be used to capture and store life test data in real time. The hardware is specifically tailored to capture data without delay in real time. In addition to data acquisition, this report presents information on hardware and programs which can be used to transfer data to larger multitask computer systems where data analysis is more efficient. Because all multitask computer systems (even those as small as PCs) devote considerably amounts of time to tasks other than running the user's test program, they are not directly compatible with real-time data acquisition. Outside hardware is required to buffer real-time data and pass it to the computer system where final data reduction takes place. The interface hardware described in this report consists of two single task microprocessor systems. One system is based on the Motorola 6800 cpu with an SS50 mother board and SS30 input/output slots. The second system is a single board Motorola 6802 microprocessor. (r.h.)
