A telemetry automatic reduction system — Take II

The word TARE II is coined from the words Telemetry Automatic Reduction Equipment. TARE II is essentially an automatic translation system developed to convert raw telemetry data into a form which can be read into an electronic digital computer for subsequent computations. Specifically, the digital output format of TARE II was designed for compatibility with the Florida Automatic Computer (FLAG), the central component of the AFMTC data reduction facility. The computer can then be programmed to separate, reduce, linearize, scale, and tabulate the data, in addition to preparing input tapes for automatic plotting and presentation of the data.
