1. TECHNICAL MANUAL RIM782
1.1. General Introduction
The Radar Interface Module RIM782 can be divided in two parallel running systems: data recorder and
video recorder. The RIM782 contains all the necessary hardware to digitize the radar video and/or data and
provide this data to the PC over a standard USB interface.
The video recorder functionality of the hardware interface is performed by 6 video channels 2 trigger signals
and 2 rotation interfaces (ARP-ACP signals both single ended and differential). The RIM782 can sample 2
analog video inputs simultaneously. The digitized video will be sent over a USB connection to a PC (USB
Video) and can be used in several RASS-S applications. For instance the RIM782 can record all types of
SSR or Mode S radar video signals using the sectorial recording software.
The data recorder has two bidirectional digital RS232/RS422 synchronous serial data ports for inputting or
outputting serial data. The RIM782 can both record and replay data. If more than two channels are required
multiple RIM782s can be "stacked" (or combined with a RDR803). The additional inputs azimuth and time
(GPS450) make it a real radar evaluation tool.
