Modular Acquisition Unit (MAU)

Acquire multiple data inputs and harmonize into one feed.

Harness Flight Data and Unleash Analytical Potential with the Modular Acquisition Unit (MAU)

Our cutting-edge MAU delivers both analog and digital signal acquisition, featuring 24 channels per expansion module to accommodate an extensive array of signal input types. This includes ARINC 717, ARINC 429, GPS signals, as well as various analog inputs such as synchro, pitot/statics, and discrete signals.

The MAU is available in three specialized modules: a base unit, an expanded unit, and a Quick Access Data Recorder (QAR) module that enhances signal acquisition capabilities. This comprehensive solution meets the diverse requirements of both aircraft and rotorcraft by providing an independent flight data acquisition system.

Designed for flexibility, the MAU’s compact form factor allows for installation in any orientation throughout the airframe. This design minimizes space requirements while ensuring safety through its robust soft-core processor. Additionally, it supports customer-loadable software for advanced analysis and software-defined data acquisition.
