ARCHI
Handheld Portable Standalone Complete PCM Processing System
The new ARCHI system allows the telemetry user to travel without a large computer housing and a standalone 3U PCIe card. The ARCHI system is the size of a textbook and connects to a laptop via Ethernet and is powered either by the laptop’s USB-C PD or a wall adapter that is supplied with the unit. The ARCHI has a graphic display/touchscreen for setup and monitoring as well as can be setup and monitored via any computer (laptop or rackmount) using the Ulyssix ALTAIR software. All inputs/outputs to the ARCHI are via mounted BNC connectors on the side of the handheld unit. The ARCHI can interface directly to user developed CH10 or TMoIP software or other commercial software suites with these IP input capability.
The PCM decommuated data from the ARCHI will be available on the user’s laptop running the Ulyssix ALTAIR software (included with the ARCHI system) as well as to a 4.3”, 800x480 HDMI interface with touchscreen capability. Data will be displayed, analyzed, stored, and/or Ethernet transported in either PCM UDP transport, Chapter 10 PCM data packets, Chapter 7 integrated data packets, or TMoIP packets to other users.
The fully integrated ARCHI housing contains the Ulyssix Tarsus4-PCIe 4th generation, with an embedded small processor card with a PCIe slot for communication to the Tarsus4-PCIe and independent USB-C PD power distribution. The Ulyssix ALTAIR software is embedded in the ARCHI.
A future upgrade to the ARCHI portable system will be the integration of the Bald Eagle4-RF dual receiver module to create a truly portable RF to Ethernet solution.
