Second Generation Ruggedized
Service Unit
The RSU-II is the successor to Avionica’s premier
Flight Data Recorder Data Download
and Diagnostic Tool. Avionica developed the RSU-II after seven years’
experience
fielding the original RSU and AVSCAN, our acclaimed flight data
analysis software.
Worthy. Like it’s
predecessor, the platform for the RSU-II was chosen carefully to
best
respond to today’s, as well as tomorrow’s, ground support
requirements. It is a
powerful and rugged, weather-resistant pen-tablet platform with
an 8.5 ” color LCD
display, equipped with USB 2.0 and Ethernet ports. Ergonomically,
it’s just the right
size, weight, and shape to balance performance and convenience.
You’ll wear out
before the battery does (an external battery pack doubles battery
life), and the power
supply powers either the dock or the unit directly to minimize your
accessory count and
maximize your options.
Flexible. The RSU-II
downloads (or monitors) practically every Flight Data Recorder in
the western world (see below). Many Flight Data Acquisition units
can also be
monitored, TCAS systems diagnosed, and ARINC-429 busses monitored.
To protect
your investment, we’ve ensured the RSU-II interfaces with most
all your original RSU
Portable Test Interface (PTI) cables. With SecureLINK wireless on
your aircraft, you can
even monitor your real-time miniQAR data wirelessly!
But that’s not all… Our new menuing software
enables users to configure their own
custom prompts and workflow. From one-touch operation to comprehensive
data
entry, the choice is yours. And, with a Windows XP™ Tablet
operating system, you can
be sure these applications are only the beginning of a whole new
family of tools to
share this platform, from wireless planeside electronic documents,
to data loading
and more…
Convenient. Like the
original, the RSU-II is capable of displaying data in real-time
engineering units, octal, decimal, and binary formats. Engineering
units provide a more
convenient, understandable means of diagnosing DFDR system problems
than octal
codes or blinking lights. In addition, the RSU-II displays graphical
traces of the data,
and enables YOU to choose which parameters to view with drag-and-drop
simplicity.
Using these handy features, an aircraft with diagnosed DFDR System
failures may be
quickly returned to service after replacing suspect components and
performing requisite
operational checks.
Economical. Despite
the revolutionary upgrades in performance over the original, the
RSU-II is priced less. Save money on Flight Data Recorder removal,
re-certification,
logistics, and spares costs during both routine and scheduled readouts
by reading the
recorder ON the aircraft. Using Avionica’s Readout Services,
a conservative estimate
demonstrates A RETURN ON INVESTMENT OF LESS THAN ONE YEAR, even
at a
small airline equipped with modern regional jets:
