playback and data reduction. The system would be capable of direct readout of two
channels of data ’’real time’’ during race car test using an existing brush two channel
pen recorder mated with the ground station decommutator and D-A converter.
Future plans for follow-on would include mating of the telemetry signal with
the computer and high speed printer to allow selective ’’real time” data handling of a
large number of channels (actual number of direct data reduction would be determined
based upon measurement frequency response required, number of characters desired
and printer capacity).
B. Special Vehicle Performance Instrumentation - Phase II
An IPA has been submitted for addition of engine measurements to the
Phase I system for more detailed engine performance evaluation. These measurements
would be added to the system increasing total number of data channels.
C • Mobile Control Center Communication System
An IPA has been submitted for addition of a central communication system
connecting the Mobile Control Center to individual pit areas and from pit area to race
cars.
The dual frequency system would scramble all transmission and tone code
control all receivers to appropriate transmission station. (No one could communicate
with driver except his own pit radio).
D. Special Performance Vehicle Test Operations Control Center
An IPA has been submitted for establishin level of effort to support the
circuit racing team m experimental testing and development of super-speedway race
cars.
The center would maintain and operate the Mobile Control Center at major
races and at special track tests.
Maintenance, operation, and data reduction would be performed on the
instrumentation system in support of special car tests at super-speedways.
Vehicle would be prepared, modified, instrumented, and checked out at the
Control Center for track tests.
