Abstract: A system includes a microprocessor, storage device, test instrument, switching system, main switching system with subsidiary, switching systems and the sensors. The program that is executed by the microprocessor accesses the database stored on the storage device. The microprocessor accesses information in the database and directs the switching system to select the appropriate sensor. Once the switching system has selected the appropriate sensor, the microprocessor then tells the test instrument to send a signal to the sensor. The test instrument sends the signal and collects the measured data. The measured data is then sent to the microprocessor, where the measured data is analyzed and compared with the baseline data. The comparison between the measured data and the baseline data reveals any anomalies that are occurring over the length of the sensor. The microprocessor displays the anomalies and keys an alarm when the anomalies are detected.

Abstract: A bit rate Agile Onboard Telemetry formatting system addresses the increased demands on the efficiency of telemetry systems. The present invention thins and reorders data streams, adjusting bit rates of a PCM stream using a bit-locked loop to match the desired information rate exactly. The present invention accomplishes the adjustment through hardware by synthesizing a clock whose operating frequency is derived from the actual timing of the input format. Firmware manages initialization and error management.
