Event Recorder Data Analysis Software

SHORT DESCRIPTION
RDVT is a software that allows to download, view and process the data recorded in the Crash Protected Memory Module (CPMM) of FAR Systems Railway Event Recorder (RER100). It also allows to manage the RER100 configuration file and even to modify the configuration. RER100 records different types of variables/ events: Start and stop recording Speed in km/ h Distance travelled in meters Analog voltage or current Inputs (depending on hardware configuration) Digital inputs Variables in string format The sampling period for all inputs is 100ms and the registration of a variable can be triggered per event, change or timeout. Event: There was a specific event that requires the registration of a variable. Change: The variable has changed from the previous recorded value of a quantity exceeding the threshold hysteresis defined in the configuration file. Timeout: Maximum time (as defined in the configuration file), has elapsed since the last registration. RDVT software allows downloading data from the CPMM to a maintenance laptop via Ethernet link. Once downloaded, the software displays the recorded data in graphical and tabular form, applies filters, and provides search, measurement and comparison functions. The software allows to save the downloaded data in RAW (original) format and to export to CSV, and XML. The software has 3 access levels each of which are password protected. Level 1 allows data viewing only. Level 2 allows data downloading and viewing. Level 3 allows access to previous levels functions and to manage the RER100 configuration file (download, upload, view and change).. The software provides an option to select the language before starting a project. RDVT has online help (both general and contextual)..

HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS
