Overview

The NanoX acquisition system is the new most efficient flight test recorder, with an ultra-compact design, and an ease of changing acquisition modules.

The NanoX provide modularity and permit to plug/stack until sixteen data acquisition modules by unit. A unit is constituted by a CPU/Controller module with a recording capacity (from 8 to 2TB) and a smart power supply module.

The NanoX is a data acquisition concentrator completed with high speed (1Gbps) recording and transmitting system combined in the same device, with this device you can make all in one modular and compact solution where other solutions require two or three separate units.

NanoX Power Supply module

The power supply modules is constituted by two electrical circuits and is conform to MIL-STD-704F, one circuit DC-DC Converter card, and another one is Ultra capacitor circuit who protect NanoX installation from power interruption about >100 millisecond. There is no battery and therefore no preventive maintenance for power down protection. These modules are also able to be powered by battery if aircraft power is not available.


  • Can support 16 different users modules.
  • Until 150 Watts of power distribution.
  • Compliant MIL-STD-704F standard.
  • Ultra-capacitor to prevent power cut.
  • MICRO D (MIL-DLT-83513) connector.

Modules Xchange® Technology

One user module is constituted of two parts, Firstly frame receiver module part who compose unit chassis and secondly the acquisition module part. The acquisition module part can be removed easily from the chassis module part.

With Xchange® Technology you can fit your frame dimension and acquisition modules excatly like you want.It's not more necessary to uninstall unit from aircraft when you want change/remove a module
