The MCS400 Drive Recorder combines the most versatile ECU calibration interface with powerful data recording capabilities. Virtually any number of signals from any source can be stored into a circular buffer of up to 4 GB size at speeds of 10 MB/s.

The circular buffer can be emptied at any time - even while the recording is in progress, to allow data recordings without gaps over very long periods. Retrieval of recorded data over LAN or USB2.0 is at speeds of 300 MB/minute. Smart on-the-fly data processing allows previews of the entire recording to be uploaded in seconds. The recorder is fail-safe even in case of power loss and is auto-resuming when power returns.
 

Built around the Freescale MPC5200, the MCS400 delivers a performance of 760 MIPS (million instructions per second) . The on-chip double precision FPU and the proven, robust VxWorks 5.5 RTOS make the platform ideally suited for running
Rapid Prototyping applications concurrently with it's system tasks.

Rapid Prototyping as Standard. The MCS400 comes integrated with @Source-Lite, a plug-in for the Matlab®/Simulink® toolchain. Simulink® users will find it very simple to create model-based applications targeted to execute in the MCS400.
