  • Page 4: Dts Support

    DTS has support engineers worldwide with extensive product knowledge and crash test experience to help via telephone, e-mail or on-site visits. The best way to contact a DTS support engineer is to submit a request through the DTS Help Center portal (support.dtsweb.com).
  • Page 5: Introducing The Tsr Air

    The primary use for the TSR AIR is to collect data in various scenarios while mounted to the interior or exterior of a test article. Captured events can be started by crossing sensor thresholds, or by an external trigger.
  • Page 6: Sensor Bandwidths

    TSR AIR system sample rate. For example, with the TSR AIR set to sample at 10,000 sps, the low g sensor will have a bandwidth of 1 kHz, the high g sensor will have a bandwidth of 640 Hz, and the ARS will have a bandwidth of 178 Hz.

    (~15 s after sufficient power and ON signal is applied). (Note network congestion may slow IP address acquisition.) Power Management A good power source is of paramount importance. The TSR AIR should be powered from a high-quality power supply. Input Voltage...

    TSR AIR User’s Manual March 2023 Status (STS) Indicator Result Power up Communicating with PC Armed Unit received Event Idle -or- Armed without input power • At power up, the LED cycles from red to green to blue followed immediately by the power LED boot-up sequence.
  • Page 9: Data Memory Size

    With 8 GB for 13000-60401 and 16 GB for 13000-60404 of flash memory available for data storage, the TSR AIR can record ~277 minutes and ~555 minutes of data, respectively, at the maximum sampling rate (12 channels at 20,000 sps). 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.
  • Page 10: Basic Care And Handling

    <1 ohm. Thermal Considerations The TSR AIR is a low power device, and it is unlikely that self-heating will be an issue in real- world testing if proper mounting methods are observed. Never mount the unit to a thermally non-conductive surface like wood or plastic.
  • Page 11: Software

    The discussion below provides a general introduction to data collection. Please see the software manual for a detailed discussion and implementation specifics. The TSR AIR is a standalone data logger. Once the system is armed, the PC can be disconnected if desired. After receiving an event signal, level trigger, or scheduled/interval event, the TSR AIR autonomously collects data, storing it to flash memory with no user interaction.
  • Page 12: Scheduled Mode

    TSR AIR User’s Manual March 2023 Scheduled Mode Using this mode, the user can program the TSR AIR to record at a scheduled time (UTC) or interval (in minutes). Pre-event data is not available when using this mode. NOTE: An event or trigger signal applied anywhere in the TSR AIR chain is distributed throughout the chain.
