OVERVIEW
The YEAE Falcon Data Logger is a standalone system designed for flexible automotive testing. It is battery-powered, allowing completely independent operation without external power sources or cables during logging runs.
The system is highly customizable, featuring a modular 8-slot configuration. This design supports a variety of signal-acquisition and communication modules, enabling users to tailor the data-logging setup to their specific requirements. Besides the modular 8-slot configuration, non-enclosed NI C Series modules can be integrated to provide additional functionality. In multi-logger deployments, a C Series GNSS module can be used to provide precise synchronization across the entire system.
Built for high-speed data logging, the device delivers reliable throughput for standard automotive analog and digital signals and includes robust internal storage to securely retain recording sessions.
To achieve this performance, the controller integrates an FPGA alongside a real-time processor. The FPGA handles high-speed, deterministic tasks, interfacing directly with the module slots to capture data with hardware-level synchronization. The real-time processor runs the operating system and manages TCP/IP networking, file storage, and configuration of all slots.
Connectivity can be controlled either through our GUI application for end-to-end management or via TCP/IP for network-based operation. This supports integration into custom setups using a standardized command set (provided separately). The system is also scalable: multiple loggers can be synchronized to function as a larger, unified data-acquisition system.
