Overview

The Model 2650P Multi-Channel Bit Synchronizer consists of up to twenty-four* 32 Mbit PCM Bit Synchronizers in a single PCI based chassis. The chassis includes a 12” flat panel display and retractable keyboard for fast and easy viewing of all setup parameters and status. Each bit synchronizer is configured independently from a simple to use GUI. The system includes dual hot-swappable redundant power supplies to minimize the loss of mission critical data.

At the heart of the Multi-channel system are the Model 1601P 32 Mbit Bit Synchronizer cards. Each 1601P can be enhanced with a programmable logic module to provide an optional format synchronizer, a built-in bit error rate test (BERT) generator or support for unique decoding applications requiring non-standard codes or data formats. The logic module is reprogrammable and can be replaced in the field without any special tools, thus minimizing down time when a new application comes along. This upgradeability will allow you to respond quickly to evolving requirements such as:

• Recovering data from newly defined or application specific coding schemes

• Creating canned formats for recovering data from concatenated or layered codes

• Monitoring data streams for frame synchronization to resolve ambiguities or polarity inversions typical with many modulation schemes

*Due to rear panel limitations 2650P configurations exceeding 12 channels require selective I/O arrangements. The Model 2650P configured with 12 Bit Synchronizers allows the full collection of I/O’s. Click here for rear panel layout.

System Software

GUI Setup and Operation Status displays are accessed through a built-in color LCD display and keyboard. Each of the Model 1601Ps are controlled via a single interface with drop down menus for individual cards. The unit automatically recognizes all of the bit synchronizers as well as their features. Setup configurations can be stored and retrieved for all previous missions as a group or individually. A page lock command accessible via the GUI reminds users before executing new instructions in order to avoid mistakes during a live mission. Remote users can control the unit via the included Ethernet or RS-232 port. If two users are viewing the system simultaneously, both see the changes made in real time by either user.
