The NetAcquire Advanced Correlating Source Selector (A-CSS™) makes it easier than ever to gather high quality telemetry. In addition to selecting the best signal source from among multiple sources, the NetAcquire A-CSS uses a data fusion engine to time correlate and combine data to eliminate bit errors in real-time. The NetAcquire A-CSS will switch from one source to another source without losing data, unlike other selectors, which can drop critical data when switching between sources.

The ability to correct for time skew between data sources is an important feature of the NetAcquire A-CSS. For example, if one channel provides the data to the A-CSS ahead or behind the same data arriving from another channel, the A-CSS measures the time offset and automatically corrects for the time alignment mismatch. Thus, no data is lost or duplicated when the sources are combined and switched. The A-CSS gives you reliable data every time.
