Figure 6 - SOMAT eDAQ DAS<br />

A Letter <strong>Report</strong> describing the data acquisition system (DAS) was completed in August 2005<br />

(see Appendix e). Michelin agreed to loan a RaceLogic VBox to the project at no cost to the<br />

HVDC project, and it was sent to Dana <strong>for</strong> integration in September, 2005 along with the Somat<br />

eDAQ DAS, IOtech Logbook, and the Ox<strong>for</strong>d RT3100 Inertial Positioning System that had been<br />

ordered and received by ORNL.<br />

In August, 2005 ORNL hosted a two-day workshop on the operation of the Somat eDAQ DAS.<br />

Dana and ORNL staff participated in this workshop that was held at the National Transportation<br />

Research <strong>Center</strong> (NTRC) in Knoxville, Tennessee.<br />

3.3.4.2 Field Test DAS: For the Field Test the following DAS were initially considered:<br />

• Racelogic VBOX III http://www.racelogic.co.uk/vbox/<br />

• Iotech Logbook http://www.iotech.com/catalog/daq/logbook.html<br />

In November, 2005, the initial Field Test DAS and instrumentation suite was identified and verified<br />

as the Somat eDAQ-Lite DAS (see figure 7), the Vaisala WXT510 weather station (shown in figure<br />

2), the vehicle’s own J-1939 data bus, and the Racelogic VBox II-Lite GPS (see figure 8). During<br />

the field test, the vehicles data bus and the VBox II-Lite will connect to the DAS via CAN data<br />

modules, and the WXT510 will connect via serial port. This sensor suite will allow the DAS to<br />

capture the following parameters:<br />
