Vortex Options - SAN Access Kit (coming soon!)

Curtiss-Wright Controls Embedded Computing offers high-performance recording and playback solutions for any application, from those requiring frequent "snapshots" of small packets of data to those requiring acquisition of long periods of multiple channels of streaming data. Some models feature playback at real-time rates so that simulation exercises can be conducted multiple times using the same captured data. 

The recorders are available as both open and targeted recorders. Customer programmable recorders enable users to utilize extensive software libraries to develop their own applications. Customer system recorders are application targeted pre-programmed solutions to address specific requirements.
