Re: [time-nuts] WTB up to 10 pieces - Rockwell Jupiter - TU30-D140

Hi Dabney,
Sorry for the silence, I missed your reply. It's impossible to know without 
full details but I'm not sure that the 10kHz output is that suited to this 
application. The Jupiter has a 1 Hz update rate. As I understand it the 10kHz 
is updated at 1Hz which can cause phase jumps. I assume you have optical traps 
along the course. I'd look at the Trimble Palisade or Accutime units. These 
have a time-mark input. When this is triggered the unit will output the time 
with 320ns resolution (Accutime 200). This could then be sent by wireless to 
the timing control. 
On the 770MPH + car I had two systems. An electronic one using a reluctance 
sensor triggered by the brake disk drive dogs. The second one was a pitot 
driven airspeed indicator. I made the indicator by modifying a Machmeter from 
an F4 Phantom. The static reference pressure was stored in a stainless steel 
Dewar (OK a Stanley Thermos flask). The official timing was done by Dave 
Petrali of USAC. That was using traditonal light traps and electroinc timers.
 
Regards,
Robert G8RPI.

Re: [time-nuts] WTB up to 10 pieces - Rockwell Jupiter - TU30-D140

2010-12-14 Thread Dabney Crump

Hi Robert,
We have the Jupiter working well in our prototype;
just need more of them for the final units.

I've met Dave and know about his work. My timing
requirements are a bit slower than Thrust SSC.
I can only imagine what an experience that must
have been.

I'm involved with a number of Open Road Racing
organizations in the US. The main function of my
equipment is to provide accurate end to end
timing over the full distance of the course which is
between 26 to 84 miles. An associate of mine has
become more involved with the timing of Mile
Shootouts, which are more similar to LSR than my
events.

Do you still enjoy Jazz?

Thanks much for your input and if I had a much
larger budget, I'd look into the units that you
suggested.
