E-MAIL: Alice J. Wilson, Alice.J.Wilson @lerc.nasa.gov. NASA/LeRC plans to issue a Request for Quote (RFQ) for: This notice is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotes are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. This procurement is being conducted under the Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP). (1) Data Aquisition System with the following capabilities: (a) Store at least 16 analog channels at a sample rate of 10 Megasamples per second; per channel in transient memory, and a rate of 500 kilosamples per second; per channel when streaming continuously to disk. Shall be expandable to 16 analog channels with no reduction in sample rate per channel. (b) Store at least 8 digital channels at a sample rate of 10 Megasamples per channel in transient memory, at a rate of 500 kilosamples per second when streaming continuously to disk. Shall be expandable to 32 digital channels with no reduction in sample rate per channel. (c) Provide a real-time color display of at least 4 analog and 8 digital channels simultaneously. Real-time display modes shall include stripchart, oscilloscope, X/Y and FFT. (d) Provide a memory length of at least 400 milion samples per channel. (e) Provide an individual differential input amplifier for each channel of at least 1 MHz analog bandwidth. Input ranges shall be selectable from +/-10 mV to +/-50 V. (f) Provide selectable anti-alias filters on each analog channel of six-pole Bessel characteristics. (g) Provide an individual 14-bit analog-to-digital converter for each analog channel. (h) Provide automatic setup of span and offset for each analog channel based on the peak-to-peak input signals detected over a period of time. (i) Shall allow individual titles and engineering units scaling for each analog channel. (j) Shall be capable of recording data using an internal timebase up to 10 MS/s or an external clock signal of up to 1 MHz. (k) Provide triggering circuitry on each analog channel, with adjustable noise rejection, pulse detect/reject, glitch and dropout detection and delay-by-events selectable by channel. (l) Provide an isolated alarm output based on individual thresholds for each channel. (m) Record at a selectable slow sample rate, then accelerating to a selectable high rate upon a trigger event. Each trigger event shall include a selectable amount of high-speed pre-trigger samples and of high-speed post-trigger samples. (n) In the event that a trigger event arrives during the post-trigger time of the previous trigger, the system shall accept the additional trigger and acquire the user-set amount of additional post-trigger samples. (o) Use its full disk storage capacity as a pre-rigger circular buffer, continuously collecting data and retaining the most recent information while overwriting the oldest data. (p) Capable of playing back, performing measurements upon and exporting data from one recording while simultaneously making another recording. (q) Include an internal industry-standard Pentium computer which may be used by the operator to run any Microsoft Windows programs. Operation of any number of Windows programs simultaneously while recording and not interfere with data acquistion or triggering. (r) Provide standard interfaces for 10/100Mb Ethernet, SCSI-2, LPT1, Com1, Com2, external video, and at least two ISA slots. (s) Export recorded data in formats of ASCII, DADiSP, nCode, MatLab, Somat EASE, FAMOS, Dia, DATS,FlexPro, Nicolet Technologies WFT and TEAM, and Windows WAV. (t) Provide post-acquistion calculation of Mean, Standard Deviation, RMS, Maximum, Minimum, Time of Maximum, Time of Minimum, Period, Standard Deviation of Period, Frequency, Rise Time, Fall Time, Width, Top level, Base level, Duty Cycle, Preshoot, Overshoot, Area and Energy of any user-selected region including the entire recording. (u) Produce both single-page print output and continous plots to a stripchart writer. (v) Provide a 12 volt DC power output of a least 0.5 amp.
