Compact Data Acquisition System
The Compact Data Acquisition System (cDAS) is a versatile system for signal conditioning and commuting up to 64 channels of analog signals and 16 low-rate digital signals. The cDAS is computer controlled so any commutation format may be accommodated. For smaller spacecraft, the cDAS can be programmed to act as a data-driven controller. A version of the cDAS was successfully flown on the Space Shuttle Endeavour on February 1996.
