BRIDGEWATER, NJ, February 4, 2009 – DSPCon, Inc., a leading, global supplier of dynamic data acquisition, analysis, archiving and recording solutions for high-value military, aerospace and rotating machinery applications, has recently launched the DataFlex-1000A, a portable, high-speed data recorder that combines real-time performance, remote capabilities and complete compatibility with any commercially-available laptop or PC.
Capable of supporting 16 to thousands of channels, the new DataFlex-1000A can be utilized as a high-performance, stand-alone data recorder/replay unit; a virtual lab instrument; or a full-function, real-time data analyzer when integrated with DSPCon’s optional MultiScopeTM graphic visualization software. It features an analog bandwidth capacity of 97.2 kHz per channel with anti-alias filtering and no degradation of bandwidth, regardless of channel count, to accommodate a wide variety of telemetry, voice and video storage applications. In addition, the system utilizes dual, “hot-swappable”, industry-standard disks, tape drives or solid-state memory storage devices to deliver easy, flexible, high-capacity data recording in a variety of media.
“We’re very excited to be able to offer our customers this latest addition to our performance-proven DataFlex family of portable data recorders,” said Al Brower, president and chief executive officer of DSPCon, Inc. “This new addition, with its unique remote capabilities and redesigned interface, provides an attractive alternative to our touch-screen based recorders and makes our data recording portfolio one of the most comprehensive in the industry.”
