Data Acquisition Systems

Howell Data Acquisition Systems may contain one or multiple Data Acquistion Units (DAU), one Configuration Module Unit (CMU), and one or two Display Units (DU).

Features

Howell offers multiple configurations of DU sizes and graphical layouts to satisfy customer requirements. All options will include 2 DUs of varying dimensions. Like the DAU, the Display Units are configurable to maximize adaptability, flexibility and expandability applicable to multiple aircraft types. Each DU has a personality module, which stores specific installation information. The installation information is used to configure the items displayed on the DU to the specific engine and display options without software modifications. The engine gauge layout can be changed to a different engine layout within the existing limit of the display host software modules by using the configuration file.
