SIR System-2 and SIR System-2P
The SIR System-2 and SIR System-2P represent an easy to use
pair of systems intended for those who wish to conduct single channel data
acquisition investigations. The SIR-2 runs as a dedicated radar system, and in
it's environmentally sealed case, can be used to collect radar data in a
variety of situations.
The SIR-2P by way of comparison, has all the functionality
of the SIR-2, but in addition has the capability of running Windows 95,
Microsoft Office 95, and RADAN For Windows. The SIR-2P also has the added
feature of providing 10Base-T Ethernet networking capabilities, making it ideal
to acquire and analyze data in the field and then upon returning to the office,
connect to the company network to transfer the data to other storage areas to
prepare and print a final report. The Ethernet connection also dramatically
cuts the time required to conduct data transfers, since 10Base-T Ethernet
provides data transfer rates of approximately 1 Megabyte per second, as opposed
to 40 Kilobytes per second for parallel data transfer, a performance increase
of 25 times. Of course, parallel data transfer is still available in the SIR-2P
to allow data transfers to computers which are not networked.
