NASSA DATA AQUISITION SYSTEM

 |
Members of NASSA have developed a system of data collection to not only obtain Flight Motor Thrust Curves but it can also be used in Propellant Characterization. TC LOGGER USB is the end product of mainly two NASSA members. NASSA Member Oliver Schubert, of Las Vegas, first developed TC LOGGER, which used a laptop computer having a parallel port to collect data from a Load Cell and Pressure Transducer. It was used for several years by NASSA Members to collect data to Characterize NASSA Propellants. But, Laptop Computers having parallel ports have become obsolete and hard to find.
NASSA Member Dave Cooper, of Warren, Ohio, stepped forward and took Oliver's work into a new arena with TC LOGGER USB. Based on Oliver's work; "Coop" developed a USB version which could be used on newer Laptops. Capable of operating with a Load Cell and Pressure Transducer for Propellant Characterization, or with just a Load Cell for Flight Motor Thrust Curves, TC LOGGER USB not only replaces TC LOGGER, with solid and consistent 200 samplings a second, but also just about any available Data Collection system currently available, and at a very affordable price.
The basic TC LOGGER USB comes with the Black Box, Software, Digital Manual and blank jacks for connecting to YOUR Load Cell, Pressure Transducer and Charger. Simple to set up and operate it is capable of collecting data to generate Flight Motor Thrust Curves. With the connection of a Pressure Transducer it can collect and process data for a Motor Characterization Process.
