Abstract
A method was needed to monitor the dual-carrier exciter to be used at the 64-mantenna deep space stations for the Viking 75 mission. The data collection system described in this article is to be used for diagnostic purposes to determine the status of the dual-carrier exciter. This system was developed to sample sequentially each analog test point in the dual-carrier exciter (mounted in the tricone of the 64-m antenna), digitally serialize each sample, send it over a single set of wires to the control room on the ground, convert the data from serial to parallel, and display the sampled data with digital displays or supply the sampled-data information to a computer for automatic monitoring of the dual-carrier exciter.
