proDAS is an advanced data acquisition and control system which meets the requirements of modern gas turbine overhaul, production, and research and development engine test facilities.
An efficient test facility data acquisition system requires complete integration with the Facility Controls, Engine Controls, Engine Throttle, and Dynamic Data System. MDS’s data acquisition systems have supported numerous engine development and production programs with over 40 systems delivered in the last decade.
Easily programmable test procedures allow the user to create straightforward testing schemes for maximum testing efficiency. Test procedures are simple to follow, repeatable, and complete. The result: an accurate automatically produced test report.
