System Excelerator Inc. (SEI) proposes to implement the first phase of a two phase development effort to create a G-hardened miniaturized event recorder. In this first phase SEI will develop a design for a recorder that will allow sensors to be triggered by an event, manually or periodically, and store the data in nonvolatile memory. The proposed architecture for transient data capture is capable of capturing and processing up to eight channels of sensor data simultaneously from one or two analog to digital converters, analyzing and summarizing the captured data, and storing the data in flash memory until needed. The modular nature of the design allows for different types of single or multi-axis sensor modulars to be used with different g sensitivity thresholds. To implement data recovery, a standard serial connection and command set used to connect the recorder to a PC.
