Airborne Data Recorder for Storage of Waveform-LiDAR DataRIEGL DR1560i
The RIEGL® DR1560i is the accompanying Digital DataRecorder to the state-of-the-art RIEGL Airborne LaserScanners, using four removable drive carriers with integrated Solid State Drives for smooth operation.
Providing various data interfaces the DR1560i is universallysuited to store data acquired with the full waveform laser scanners RIEGL LMS-Q1560 and LMS-Q780, and also of data acquiredwith RIEGL‘s new online-waveform processing as well as full andsmart waveform recording RIEGL V-line laser scanners, like theVQ-1560i and the VQ-780i.
Using solid state drives increases the reliability in harshenvironment and at high flying altitudes. The drives are
hot-swappable and allow immediate access to data
already acquired, ready to be analyzed on the fly
or in the office. Data rates of up to 150 MBytes/sec
guarantee uninterruptible storage of data covering therequirements of actual and future generations of RIEGL highspeed laser scanners. Additionally an online data integrity checkis performed prior transferring the scan data to the solid statedrives.
