    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 Slice6 Air Das

    July 2024 Introducing the SLICE6 AIR DAS SWaP optimized, the SLICE6 AIR DAS is a complete data acquisition unit for measuring analog signals in extreme environments such as payload ejection/deployment; in-flight/on- board UAVs/drones, rockets, missiles and munitions; and biomechanics. PTPv2 Ethernet communications with on-board data storage to flash memory are supported.

  • Page 6: Slice6 Air Das Module - Ethernet Recorder (Edr)

    July 2024 SLICE6 AIR DAS Module - Ethernet Recorder (EDR) The SLICE6 AIR Ethernet Recorder module is a SLICE6 AIR DAS module with firmware that supports recording Ethernet traffic (up to 10 Mbps UDP) instead of analog (sensor) data. DataPRO version 3.4 or greater is required. Details for its use can be found on the Help...

  • Page 7: Sensor Interface

    SLICE6 AIR DAS Sensor Interface Supported Sensor Types The SLICE6 AIR DAS supports many types of sensors including accelerometers, load cells and pressure sensors. The following general sensor types are supported: • Full- bridge (4-wire) or half-bridge (3-wire) resistive and piezo-resistive sensors, •...

  • Page 8: Excitation Sources

    Shunt Emulation The SLICE6 AIR DAS contains a shunt emulation circuit, effectively eliminating the need for conventional shunt resistors to perform shunt checks. When “Emulation” is chosen as the shunt calibration method, the software injects a precisely calculated current into the sensor to create an expected deflection of the sensor’s output.

  • Page 9: System Connector

    • UART-based GPS/1PPS 3, 4 • IRIG-B122/B022. When operating as a PTP master clock, SLICE6 AIR DAS communicates with slave units to provide clock synchronization. When operating as a slave unit, the DAS synchronizes its internal clock with the grandmaster/master clock.

  • Page 10: Power Management

    Help Center here. Power Management The SLICE6 AIR DAS and DS-4 do not contain an internal battery and must be connected to external power at all times for operation. Without external power applied, the DAS is in a power off state.

  • Page 11: Power-Up And Power-Down Procedures

    July 2024 Power-up and Power-down Procedures When sufficient power is applied, the SLICE6 AIR DAS will power up (on, idle and communi- cation enabled) if an ON signal is present. With power applied but the ON signal absent, the unit is off. Power up (On state) occurs in ~15 s, after which communication is enabled.

  • Page 12: Leds

    SLICE6 AIR DAS User’s Manual July 2024 LEDs The SLICE6 AIR DAS has two LED indicators that show system and power status. Status (STS) LED The status LED indicates communication and arm status and is red, green or blue. At system power up, the LED cycles from red to green to blue followed immediately by the power LED boot-up sequence.

  • Page 13: Power (Pwr) Led

    SLICE6 AIR DAS User’s Manual July 2024 Power (PWR) LED The power LED is red, green or blue. Condition Power up Connected to host Power up; not connected to host (time synchronization is disabled DAS synchronized with time input source (0.5 Hz)

  • Page 14: Data Memory Size

    July 2024 Data Memory Size With 15 GB of flash memory available for data storage, the SLICE6 AIR DAS can record ~52 minutes of data at the maximum sampling rate (6 channels at 400,000 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 15: Slice6 Air Ds-4

    Appendix A. For power requirements, please see page 10. Information on Ethernet chaining is on page 31. Contact DTS if you have any questions about using multiple systems in your test environment. WARNING: Testing using the DS-4 should only be performed with the DAS retainer cap securely fastened (6.6 in-lb).

  • Page 18: Software

    The discussion below provides a general introduction to data collection. Please see the software manual for a detailed discussion and implementation specifics. The SLICE6 AIR DAS is a standalone data logger. Once the system is armed, the PC can be disconnected if desired.

  • Page 19: Hybrid Recorder Mode

    The SLICE6 AIR 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 20: Data Streaming

    SLICE6 AIR DAS User’s Manual July 2024 Finally, if the SLICE6 AIR 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.
