Programming and data transfer is USB 2.0, which provides high data transfer rates with low, predictable latency. It interfaces to the USB 2.0 port provided on most PC computers including laptops. Maximum length of the interface cable is 3 meters but it may be extended further using Ethernet with the Control & Data Processor (CDP) option. Data Redundancy is optionally available. A 2.5" HD (Module 6095) mounts on the USB controller board in each 6008U enclosure and provides a redundant recording point for the DAS. In the unlikely event the Operators Workstation or DAS Software fails, data will continue to record in each enclosure. Data can be recovered from the system post-test. The Operators Workstation (PCCOWU-LT) is the primary control and data recording point for the Series 6000 DAS. The PCCOWU-LT is typically a laptop, connected to the 6008U's USB port and runs PI660 Data Acquisition Software for system setup, calibration, display, recording, distribution and export.
