Novel Low Power System Design for Aviation Industrial Data Logger

This paper is intended to describe the design process, planning, and development of a new Data Logger System (DLS) that can be potentially used in acquiring sensor signals in the landing gear of aircraft. The developed data logger system is capable of simultaneously recording 32 channels of incoming data provided by conditioned sensors. The data recorder system is meant to be an integrated tool to supplement landing gear studies at Safran Landing Systems. The main module of the product will house the vital DLS electronics which include, but are not limited to, a data logger system control board, power management system, and sensors/data interfaces. The developed work presents the concept and development process of the DLS that employs a novel low-power pulse mode circuit structure. It outlines the overview of the sensor acquisition system and manufacturing of the DLS housing to fit the industrial partner's requirements. The conducted work is broken down into several phases, these include conceptual design, development, production, and testing.
