Refresher• Swift Fox is a data acquisition and monitoring

system for a vehicle.• Swift Fox is designed to measure, display, and

record transducer signals.• The required transducers measure lateral

acceleration and engine rpm.• There are three spare inputs for expansion.• Swift fox is controlled by a calculator keyboard

and an interactive plasma display.• The results of a recorded session may be uploaded

to an external PC for use in a spreadsheet.
