Ground Stations
- GTS-500 is a range of sophisticated telemetry ground station boards based on cutting edge bit sync, smart source selector and decommutator technology. The resulting systems can significantly improve signal reception and increase data throughput.
- These systems are specifically tailored to meet the demanding needs of real-time applications, leveraging ACRA CONTROL’s heritage in designing flight test solutions.
- The telemetry ground stations offer an end to end solution from receiver to processed data with tightly integrated hardware and software.
- GS Studio 3 setup and management software facilitates quick and easy configuration changes.
- GS Works 7 is the advanced real-time/post processing analysis software (powered by IADS® technology) that completes the ground station solution. It has a host of features that allows displays, data and analysis techniques to be built, tested and saved with little effort at any time before or during the mission.

- The GTS/SYS/005 is a telemetry ground station which includes two E-band telemetry receivers (GTS/RCV/001/PBEs), a bit-synchronizer with smart source selection and PCM decommutator (GTS/DEC/004), and a time reference card with GPS input and IRIG-B input/output (GTS/GPS/002).
- The GTS/SYS/005 takes advantage of powerful IADS-based GS Works software for real-time and post-test data analysis and visualization. GS Works includes high-fidelity strip charts with threshold checking, frequency-response plots with predicted data overlays, moving maps showing multiple target relationships and cross plots with envelope calculations.
- All displays can instantly recall any portion of the test data for display and analysis without affecting real-time data performance.
- The GTS/SYS/005 is deployed as a 19-inch rack mount unit using a GTS/IPC/002 industrial PC with Intel Core 2 Quad processor.

GTS-500 software : : GS Works 7
- GS Works 7 is the real-time and post-test display and analysis ground station software suite (powered by IADS® technology) that has been designed from the ground up to meet the needs of the flight test community. GS Works 7 flight test software facilitates real-time mission analysis and raises situational awareness, safety monitoring, and test point clearance capabilities to a new level by utilizing tools previously available only within post-test environments.
- GS Works' 7 ease of use, depth of display capability, and powerful analysis techniques can be used to save time and effort on any test program. This flexibility extends to GS Works 7 being scalable from a single laptop through to large workgroups using the integrated Client/Server software architecture.
- Every data point is cached to disk allowing scroll back of the data through the time history while continuing to store data in real-time. This means a user can instantly recall any portion of the test data for display and analysis - including video playback and modifying derived equations – without affecting performance. Users can create customized displays in seconds using an interactive interface on multiple monitors. This flexibility allows displays, data, and analysis techniques to be built, tested and saved with little effort at any time during the mission or at the engineer's desktop.
- GS Works 7 accepts input from multiple sources: ranging from real-time live data, recorded data and post test data providers, such as ACRA CONTROL's range of bit sync decom cards. It can export data into RAW, CSV, MS Excel and MATLAB formats.
- GS Works 7 Features:
- All real-time activity recorded for replay and additional analysis
- Identical features in real-time and post test
- Large aggregate data rate
- Connects to widely available telemetry systems
- Runs on standard PCs
