1420 DASH TRANSPORT with DASH CAMERA

    The Transport is the mechanical heart of the 1420 DASH system.  It secures and precisely moves the DASH Camera.  The calibrated mechanical mechanism of the Transport utilizes two motor/disc assemblies on the horizontal and vertical axes to control the altitudinal and azimuthal angles of the Camera as it is oriented to view, measure and characterize a HUD or CRT image.  The motor/disc assemblies in the Transport utilize a friction drive concept that employs a two-motor, anti-backlash, design for precise angular movement.  In automatic operation, the mechanism will move the Camera in a pre-programmed test pattern that typically over-samples the display image in all areas of interest.
