NetAcquire Correlating Source Selector™

The new NetAcquire Correlating Source Selector (CSS™) makes it easier than ever to gather signal streams that are accurate and high quality. In addition to selecting the best signal source from among multiple sources, the NetAcquire CSS actually correlates and combines data to eliminate bit errors in real-time (data fusion). The NetAcquire CSS switches from one source to another source without losing frames of data (unlike other industry selectors, which can drop many frames during a switch of sources).

The ability to correct for time skew between data sources is another important feature of NetAcquire Correlating Source Selector. For example, if one channel provides the data to the Correlating Source Selector ahead or behind the same data arriving from another channel, the Correlating Source Selector measures the time offset and automatically corrects for the time alignment mismatch. Thus, no data is lost or duplicated when the sources are combined and switched. CSS gives you reliable data every time.

With its advanced algorithms and over 3 billion operations/second of real-time processing capability, independent benchmark tests of the NetAcquire CSS have established a factor of 200 times improvement in bit error rate over any individual input data source!

Flexibility

All the configuration and monitoring of the NetAcquire Correlating Source Selector can be done remotely via a standard network connection to any PC or workstation. No PC software is required, only a common Web browser. You can control your system from anywhere!

NetAcquire CSS gives you the ability to select from scores of different operation modes such as frame lock monitoring, preference based priority switching and highest average frame lock over time. Manual source selection, multiplexing all sources onto one output, and use of any NRZ or Bi-phase PCM data with or without clock recovery, also are available features.

NetAcquire CSS offers new features and benefits that until now were not available in the telemetry data processing marketplace. Choices, control and convenience — The new NetAcquire Correlating Source Selector will give you more for your budget dollar.

Advanced Analysis and Reporting

NetAcquire CSS tracks many data quality and performance parameters during operation, and these statistics can be viewed at any time as a “mission report”. The mission report summarizes input/output data and source selection characteristics, and also provides a powerful tool for optimizing external range assets for maximum data quality. Mission reporting supports automatic start and stop at the beginning and end of each mission. Click here to see an example mission report..
