Specifications

bration and extended temperature range for both the MDR board and the disk storage
system is under development.
Note that it is not possible to write recordings in ASCII format with the MDR. The
MDR only writes recordings in a binary format. The user must convert data accordingly.
1.1 Features & Performance
MDR subsystems incorporate the features leading to the associated benefits.
Features Benefits
Up to 90 MB/s real-time permanent
