Flash Detector System: FLADE-R1

Easy to use detection subsystem for evaluation of new instrument designs for position location, characterization and analysis of infrared flash events.

Key Features:

• USB powered dual sensor flash detector
• Dual, angled, IR sensors provide angle to flash (within a single plane)
• AC coupled, Matched filter processing to detect flash events in the 1 to several millisecond range
  • Improves rejection of spurious environmental IR events
• Software control of sensor gain
  • Allows matching of the two sensor channels
  • System can be tailored to range of expected flash events
• Software control of trigger set point.
  • False error rate is based on trigger threshold setting
• Software provides amplitude and angle output as well as a time record of the flash event
• Small 3.6” x 1.4” form factor
