This application of the VORTEX Data Recorder enables recording systems to be used in applications which have limitations on size, weight and power. The system provides real-time recording from a customer supplied demultiplexing digitizer which acquires dual channels of 1.78GByte/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 readback from multiple workstations.

The VORTEX Snapshot Data Recorder is an example of integration work performed by the VMETRO Application Group. The Snapshot Recorder Application Kit is a ready to run application with hardware and software required for the data recorder. Based on a few parameters, the appropriate storage requirements, number of ports, and number or recorders can be determined.

The Application Kit contains the following:


The quantity and configuration of the items above are dependent on the following parameters:

  • Number of Analog Channels
  • Maximum Sampling Rate per Channel of the digitizer
  • Recording duration time
  • Storage Capacity and Disk Group Requirements
