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. SwiftFox October University of Portland School of Engineering
