The D200f digital flight recording system now supports the IRIG106 Chapter 10 standard. Featuring modular signal interfacing and interchangeable media cartridges, the D200f is designed to adapt to changing mission requirements in airborne and mobile applications. The new interface standard is changing the way airborne telemetry data is captured, recorded, analyzed, and distributed by standardizing the digital data recording directory and data format for solid-state media. The IRIG 106 Chapter 10 interface standard provides a well-defined control and download interface. The interface supports requirements for inter-vendor playback of data for software-based de-commutation systems and hardware-based telemetry systems. The standard supports complete analog reconstruction of original signal types while preserving accurate time coherency between channels — a feature especially beneficial to users of analysis applications integrated with hardware-based data collection systems. The standard also supports reconstruction of a wide range of signal types, including Video, MIL-STD-1553, PCM, analog, and discrete data. The IRIG 106 Chapter 10 standard was developed by the Range Commanders Council, manufacturers, and users to formulate a new standard for solid state flight recorders.
