[sdiy] Harris Data Memory?

[J. Larry Hendry]

Harris is currently owned by GE.  They supply mostly electric utility
monitoring and control equipment.  I have seen a fair amount of the modern
Harris equipment.  I have not seen anything like this.  My guess is the
sampling interval can be measured in seconds or minutes as opposed to
something that would support audio frequencies.  I say that because of the
output nomenclature.  I think they do make some "high speed" sampling
devices classified as digital fault recorders.  But, they typically have a
serial port dump.  So, this sounds like something designed to monitor slow
changing events.  But, it might be cool for some kind of weird sample and
hold or sampling sequencer. :)

Subject: [sdiy] Harris Data Memory?



I found an interesting thing at a surplus sale today and bought it. It is a
Harris Data Memory. It seems to be a primitive sort of datalogger. It has 2
analog inputs which are adjustable to different ranges. It has a clock
section to set the sampling interval. LEDs to indicate how much memory has
been filled and a function section which allows you to set whether it
records, plays, and for setting either channel or both channels. it has an
output marked "Chart Recorder or Voltmeter". If this works it seems like it
might be useful for synth applications. Is anyone here familiar with this
device? Anybody know where to find docs for it?
