DESIGNING AN AUTOMATIC FORMAT GENERATOR FOR A NETWORK DATA ACQUISITION SYSTEM

ITC/USA 2006 Conference Proceedings / The Forty-Second Annual International Telemetering Conference and Technical Exhibition / October 23-26, 2006 / Town and Country Resort & Convention Center, San Diego, California / In most current PCM based telemetry systems, an instrumentation engineer manually creates the
sampling format. This time consuming and tedious process typically involves manually placing
each measurement into the format at the proper sampling rate. The telemetry industry is now
moving towards Ethernet-based systems comprised of multiple autonomous data acquisition
units, which share a single global time source. The architecture of these network systems greatly
simplifies the task of implementing an automatic format generator. Automatic format generation
eliminates much of the effort required to create a sampling format because the instrumentation
engineer only has to specify the desired sampling rate for each measurement. The system
handles the task of organizing the format to comply with the specified sampling rates. This
paper examines the issues involved in designing an automatic format generator for a network
data acquisition system.
