The Optimus Data System is a pressure scanning solution designed specifically for wind-tunnel applications. The Optimus System Processor manages a configurable measurement solution that provides high precision and high throughput data for up to 2048 measurement channels. Pressure is measured with ESP Miniature Pressure Scanners or the new MicroScanners, and then converted to a digital value within the mSDI Miniature Scanner Digitizer Interface units with Engineering Unit measurement values calculated within the Optimus System Processor and reported via Ethernet at data rates up to 1Gbps.
System components include PCU Pressure Calibration Units to provide precise pressure calibration and performance verification information prior to start of test. Fiber Optic Interface Units, OFIU’s, utilize single fiber cable to provide noise free communication between the pressure scanners and system processor.
