摘要

Data acquisition and reduction on a large-scale systems generated electromagnetic pulse (SGEMP) test program are traditionally costly and tedious. The most widely used methods of acquiring and recording the system response waveforms involve the use of oscilloscopes and cameras, the waveforms being captured on Polaroid film. This method requires that the analog waveforms(oscillograms) be digitized, usually by hand, into a computer-compatible format prior to applying automated data analysis techniques. The amount of manual data handling and the need for many skilled technicians make this an error-sensitive and costly procedure. This report presents a new procedure for capturing and processing complex SGEMP transients. The method is incorporated into an SGEMP transportable Automated Recording System (STARS). It reduces manual data handling significantly (a major source of errors); outputs data as computer compatible magnetic tapes, annotated hard copies, or both; and lessens the manpower requirements for data acquisition and processing. The software implementation, SKYNET Applications Software Package (SASP), is discussed here to provide STARS operators and users with the detailed information needed to effectively utilize the system.
