Applications*
GPS Disciplined Oscillator
The WBT contains an embedded GPS disciplined oscillator (GPSDO) which provides a precise 10 MHz timing reference (25 ppb over temperature range using an OCXO). It also generates 1PPS signals with +/- 50 nanosecond accuracy. The 50-channel GPS receiver has acquisition sensitivity of -144 dBm and tracking sensitivity of -160 dBm.
Disks
The WBT® is designed to handle two disks at a time so a new one can be swapped in when one is full. Recording time is therefore limited only by the number of disks available.
Interfaces
A Gigabit Ethernet port is provided to control multiple WBTs, to transfer data from the SSDs over a network share, and to stream data directly to another device (at greatly reduced bandwidth).
The interface supports both DHCP and static network configuration.
An eSATAp (powered eSATA) port is provided to connect high speed disks directly to the device. Data may be recorded directly onto the device, though maximum bandwidth may be reduced depending on disk performance.
Boot Flash Card
The WBT® boots from a removable CFAST flash card. This provides a way to completely disable the unit by ejecting the card.
