3 ELEMENTS OF NETWORKED DATA ACQUISITION SYSTEMS DATA SOURCES Measurements are taken at the edge of the network. Data sources may include video, IEEE 1394, ARINC or 1553 buses, accelerometers, strain gauges, pressure sensors, temperature sensors and audio. MIL-STD-1553 Link 16 Link 11 FAAD Ethernet ARINC 429 ARINC 629 ARINC 664 RS-232/422/485 CAN bus HR video NTSC video SDLC Serial Digital Interface (SDI) Audio Sensor data Pressure Temperature Vibration Acceleration Analog Discrete Charge L/RVDT Synchro/resolver FEQ/period/counter DATA ACQUISITION UNITS Data acquisition units convert measurement data into data packets and send the packets to other destinations through the network.ttc offers hundreds of types of data interfaces. The DAU modular architecture allows up to 30 analog signal conditioning modules in a single chassis, providing for over 100 different measurements from a single unit. CAIS Data Acquisition Unit CDAU-20XX Network Data Acquisition Unit ndau-20xx Miniature Avionics DAU Mn Mn MnENT-2000 Mn MnVID-2000 EDGE SWITCHES Switches are the center of a networked data acquisition system, managing the flow of all of the packet streams from the data sources to various locations, including recorders. Switches also deliver synchronized time to all of the network nodes. Edge switches are generally smaller and have fewer ports than core switches, providing convenient data aggregation at the network periphery. Network Switch NSW-5FT Switch Module MNSW-503 GATEWAYS Gateways act as bridges into the network from other data transmission systems including, CAIS and RF. gateways allow conventional equipment to be connected to the acquisition network, prolonging its usefulness and enhancing its value. Miniature -to-network Gateway Mn-2000 CORE SWITCHES Core switches are generally faster and have more ports than edge switches. A core switch is usually designated as the IEEE 1588 grandmaster time source for the network and receives time from an outside source, often a GPS receiver. These switches enforce network rules, for example, quality of service for network data streams. Gigabit Network Switch NSW-12GT RECORDERS Recorders store all of the data that is acquired from the network edge for later analysis. Since the network allows data to be sent and received simultaneously, recorders can also allow other network nodes random access to previously recorded data for real-time data analysis, engineering unit conversions and other data processing functions. Network Recorder nrec-6000 Network Recorder nrec-4000s-2 RF PRODUCTS The nxcvr-2100 series of IP transceivers perform airto-ground and ground-to-air wireless OFDM-based communications. The transceivers work together to perform data routing by transparently connecting up to 32 wireless networks using a hub and spoke configuration. The TTS-5500 series of multimode transmitters provide state-ofthe-art modulation compatibility with IRIG , is user-programmable for center frequency and modulation, and has a high-efficiency power amplifier chain. The TTS-5500 series transmitters provide the highest power and efficiency offered in the industry today. NETWORK MANAGEMENT An important component of a networked data acquisition system is its configuration and management. Networked data acquisition systems provide far greater flexibility and power than conventional systems, and the complexity demands a powerful system management tool. The TTC Network Management System (TTCNMS) is an intuitive, powerful user interface that provides extensive, real-time information on all of the devices in the network. TTCNMS is an inet-ready tool for complete network monitoring and control that uses SNMP traps and MIBS for network management, XML files to describe device catalogs and network topologies, a charting feature for live performance statistics reporting and an intuitive browser-based user interface to ensure that the data acquisition network is operating at peak efficiency and is in good health.

5 NETWORK PRODUCTS & SYSTEMS: SHORT CATALOG NETWORK RECORDERS NETWORK GATEWAYS Network gateways bridge Ethernet-based packet networks and conventional data acquisition systems. -to-network gateways protect existing legacy acquisition investment by packetizing analog data for transmission over the network. As airborne acquisition technology advances, ground and flight data collection systems will communicate directly over a single network. TTC is leading the way with our nxcvr-2x00 series wireless inet-ready transceivers that transparently route packets between the air and the ground. ngwy-2000 Network packet recorders are network nodes that store data received over the network. In addition to fulfilling the traditional role of the primary data storage device, a network recorder supports simultaneous read and write operations with data mining and now has only negligible impact on network performance. TTC offers the nrec-6000 and nrec-4000s-2 network recorders. The nrec-6000 supports high-capacity, high-throughput applications with up to several terabytes of storage at up to 200 MBps. The nrec-4000s-2 is a smaller, lower-cost recorder that has up to 512 GB of storage and up to 200 MBps throughput. TTC airborne IP-based recorders have 100BASE-T or dual Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, range in size from 139 to 346 cubic inches and use IEEE-1588 for accurate time distribution.

6 inet: INTEGRATED NETWORK ENHANCED TELEMETRY IEEE 1588 TECHNOLOGY The Central Test and Evaluation Investment Program (CTEIP) launched the integrated Network Enhanced Telemetry (inet) Development Project in October 2004 to foster advances in networking and telemetry technology to meet emerging needs of major test programs within the Major Range and Test Facility Base. The IEEE 1588 standard addresses measurement and control system clock synchronization requirements. The protocol enables precise clock synchronization in a distributed network communications system. TTC network devices implement hardware-assisted 1588 clock synchronization for timestamping system data and events with a ten-nanosecond resolution, node-to-switch accuracy at fewer than 50 nanoseconds and end-to-end accuracy through multiple switches at fewer than 300 nanoseconds. TTC switches incorporate built-in gatewayto-irig time generation, allowing legacy data acquisition systems to be synchronized to the newest network-based systems using the same network clock. Our larger switches also provide IRIG-to-IEEE-1588 gateway capability. The thrust of the program is to standardize a network-based test architecture for use in the air and on the ground to increase military testing program efficiency. TTC has been an active participant in this program as an airborne testing instrumentation information provider and by developing leading-edge technology to validate program technological goals. BOEING 787 DREAMLINER TTC IS CURRENTLY DELIVERING A VARIETY OF OUR NETWORK-BASED DATA ACQUISITION PRODUCTS TO SUPPORT THE 787 DREAMLINER.
