PRODUCT UPDATE
Exciting New Products in the TDAS G5 Family
Since its introduction in 2003, TDAS G5
remains the smallest 32-channel data
acquisition system (DAS) in existence.
The unequaled leader for in-dummy
use, when used in combination with the
TDAS G5 Vehicle Docking Station, the
system is also the world leader for
on-vehicle DAS. Over 10,000 channels
of TDAS G5 DAS have been sold to date.
TDAS G5 M-24 and TDAS G5 M-32
From the beginning, a key application for
TDAS G5 was for use as an in-dummy
DAS. DTS partnered with FTSS to create
iDummy TM —a unique system that integrates
TDAS G5 into virtually any crash test
dummy type. FTSS has designed robust
and easy to use in-dummy docking port and
wiring system that allows TDAS G5 to be
easily moved from one dummy to another.
As part of the iCrash TM concept, TDAS G5
can be moved between iDummy TM , iWall TM ,
iTrolley TM , iPole TM and iVehicle TM
applications (see icrashtech.com).
Introducing TDAS G5 M-24
To support still tighter applications, DTS
developed a smaller, 24-channel version
of the TDAS G5 for integration into
child dummies. The result is the new
TDAS G5 M-24. At 70% the size of a
TDAS G5 M-32, the TDAS G5 M-24 has
the same sensor connection interface as
its 32-channel counterpart. With the
ability to install either the M-24 or M-32
modules in the same docking port, users
have the maximum in channel count
flexibility. An iDummy TM could be
configured for 24, 32, 48, 56, 64, 72,
80, 88, 96 or more channels depending
on the combination of TDAS G5 M-24
and TDAS G5 M-32 DAS modules.
FTSS Q6 iDummy TM
The first iDummies TM specifically designed
for TDAS G5 M-24 are the Q3 and Q6.
FTSS is releasing these dummies for
production in the second quarter of 2008.

PRODUCT UPDATE (cont.)
Exciting New Products in the TDAS G5 Family
Introducing TDAS G5
High-Bandwidth (HB)
During the past two years, customers
have expressed interest in collecting very
high frequency data at the full 100 KHz
using a high bandwidth anti-alias filter.
DTS successfully modified the existing
TDAS G5 DAS architecture to accomplish
just this. The TDAS G5 HB DAS (High-
Bandwidth) has an adjustable anti-alias
filter with a maximum -3 dB point of
45 KHz. Applications include blast
testing and airbag sound and pressure
measurements. The TDAS G5 HB is
identical to the standard TDAS G5 DAS
in every other way and has been shipping
to customers since third quarter 2007.
New TDAS G5 Module
Docking Station
In response to customer need for the
most compact sensor interface to
TDAS G5 DAS modules, DTS has created
the TDAS G5 Module Docking Station
(MDS). The TDAS G5 MDS uses microD
connectors: one 25-pin connector for
Power/Control and four 51-pin sensor
connectors (one for each eight channels).
Applications to date include installations
in aerospace testing and race car chassis.

GM Holden Celebrates 50 Years of Success
GM Holden’s Proving Ground celebrates
a tradition of education, testing and
technological development in the
automotive safety industry. The Proving
Ground, located in Lang Lang, was
Australia’s first automotive testing and
development complex and has
been the testing ground for
every Holden vehicle released
since 1957.
The facility has road systems
designed for a variety of
sealed and unsealed surfaces
replicating real-world
conditions. This includes a
banked 4.7 meter high speed
test track, a twist course,
a noise road for noise and
vibration development, a rattle
and squeak track, test hills and
a skid pan.
A range of collision types can
be reproduced at the barrier
facility where vehicles are
winched towards a 76-ton
concrete barrier at speeds of up to
90 km per hour. Over 44 kms of road
systems are intertwined throughout
the landscape specifically designed for
general durability testing as well as
performance and high speed testing.
The Proving Ground also houses a
safety test lab which is home to over
550 channels of TDAS equipment
including state of the art airbag test
and development capabilities. The
DTS partnership with Holden is also
supported by a branch office
in Sydney. This location
provides DTS the opportunity
to service Holden quickly and
with greater flexibility.

DTS IN ACTION
Biomechanical testing, sled testing and
especially full-scale crash testing projects
require perfection and knowledge for
success. That is why DTS offers training
seminars to help testing professionals gain
the right knowledge.
In support of this commitment to training,
DTS teaches an exclusive one-day training
seminar featuring the expertise of owners
Michael Beckage and Stephen Pruitt. The
Principals of Dynamic Data Collection
seminar highlights topics related to
Sensors, Data Collection Fundamentals,
Noise Reduction, Grounding and Shielding,
Software and Data Analysis and
Troubleshooting Scenarios.
The benefits received from the seminar
bring you, the user, closer to making better
decisions for better results. Troubleshooting
experiences result in reduced down-time
and increased ability to resolve problems
in house. In addition, seminars provide a
great foundation for the laboratory staff
to build working relationships with DTS
support engineers.
