    Timing Protocol) provides standards for precision clock synchronization for measurement and control systems via Ethernet network communications. Timing information is extracted from the network’s master clock and used by the SLICE6 DAS to adjust their internal (local) clock, providing precision timing for high channel-count systems with a sampling synchronization better than 10 µs.

    SLICE6 DAS User’s Manual June 2018 The SLICE6 DAS has a single LED indicator that shows system status. LED behavior is summarized below. Priority* Condition Idle; not connected (0.5 Hz) Idle; connected Communicating; idle or real-time (single flash when command received) Idle (connected or not connected;...

  • Page 9: Data Memory Size

    June 2018 Data Memory Size With 15 GB of flash memory available for data storage, the SLICE6 DAS can record ~52 minutes of data at the maximum sampling rate (6 channels at 400 ksps). Since the recording capacity is very large, it is generally best to limit sampling rates and event durations to the minimum necessary to avoid large and cumbersome data files.

    Shock Rating Each SLICE6 DAS is rated for 500 g, 3 ms or 2000 g, 0.8 ms half-sine duration, in all axes. Mounting Considerations SLICE6 equipment should be bolted securely to the test vehicle or dynamic testing device to provide the best shock protection.

    2.5 W The SLICE6 DAS does not contain an internal battery and must be connected to external power at all times for operation. Without external power applied, the SLICE6 DAS is in a power off state. With power applied, the DAS is either in deep sleep or on. If the ON signal is absent or removed, the DAS enters deep sleep, the lowest power consumption state.

    The discussion below provides a general introduction to data collection. Please see the software manual for a detailed discussion and implementation specifics. The SLICE6 DAS is a standalone data logger. Once the system is armed, the PC can be disconnected if desired. After receiving a Start Record or Event signal, SLICE autonomously collects data, storing it to flash memory with no user interaction.

  • Page 13: Hybrid Recorder Mode

    SLICE6 DAS can be placed in an auto-arm mode that will cause the unit to arm automatically when the power is cycled. This available with any available data collection mode.
  • Page 14 SLICE6 DAS User’s Manual June 2018 Finally, if the SLICE6 DAS remains connected to the PC during data collection, the control software can be used to initiate data collection. The table below summarizes the data collection modes and event/triggering options.
