摘要

This specification establishes the performance, design, development and test requirements for a Severe Environment Cartridge Recorder (SECR). The SECR shall consist of a magnetic tape cartridge recorder intended for recording analogue or digital data in high vibration, high acceleration and wide temperature range environments. The SECR shall comprise a single assembly in which shall be housed an electric motor, a means of securing and driving a magnetic tape cartridge, electronic speed control circuitry and a four-track magnetic recording tape head. No signal-conditioning electronics shall be contained within the SECR. Replay of magnetic tape cartridges shall be accomplished with the Cartridge Replay Machine (CRM).
