Chord Based Top Problems • Car body is the cord – body flex • Distorts track signature • Requires six rail sensor • Cannot see certain faults
Top Filtering • Filtering limits response of long track features • Solves the problem of signal noise
Top Filtering • Low speed track – short filters (10 – 30m) • High speed track – long filters (50 – 120m) • Butterworth, Bessel ? • Linear phase response, sharper cutoff • Your mileage may vary
Equipment RequirementsReliability • Reliability • High Reliability to achieve frequency of test • No moving parts • Withstands extreme shock • Custom designed lasers / MTBF of 10,000 hours • Hardened CCD cameras • Complete recording season without corrective maintenance
