Description
This paper describes the digital data acquisition system (DBAS) and explains its use in the calibration and checkout of the Saturn V space vehicle.
The size and complexity of the Saturn V vehicle necessitates computer controlled checkout. The DDAS combines the functions and hardware normally required for a flight telemetry system into a relatively low-bit-rate, high capacity pulse code modulated (PCM) system. This system may be used in ground or airborne checkout and calibration and as a PCM telemetry system for R&D and operational flight-control data.
The overall design of this system and its relation to the Saturn V automatic checkout scheme is described with emphasis on the ground support hardware.
