ARCHI

Portable PCM Processing System with Direct Ethernet Connection to Any Laptop

The new ARCHI system allows the telemetry user to travel without a large computer housing a standalone 3U PCIe card. The ARCHI system is the size of a textbook and connects to a laptop via USB-C PD and Ethernet. The ARCHI receives PCM data with and without clock and performs bit and frame synchronization, PCM decommutation, PCM simulation with an IRIG Time Code Reader. Through the USB-C PD port, the ARCHI will be fully powered and operational.

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). 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, a Raspberry PI ARM processor card with a PCIe slot, and power regulation. The ALTAIR software interfaces to the ARCHI system via Ethernet communication to allow for a fully portable solution for the PCM user that does testing at different remote sites.
