The VORTEX Snapshot Data Recorder is an example of integration work performed by the Curtiss-Wright Controls Application Group. This application of the VORTEX Data Recorder allows recording systems to be used in applications with size, weight and power restrictions. The system provides real-time recording from a customer supplied de¬multiplexing digitizer which acquires dual channels of 1.78 GByte/s imagery. The digitizer separates each channel into eight streams of Serial FPDP data. The VORTEX Snapshot Recording system contains all components needed to record these streams of data to a JBOD Storage device and also allows read back from multiple workstations.
