Equipped with customized embedded software, the SCM 7800™ Sensor Control Module (SCM) performs the job of collecting the measurement data from the sensor I/O cards/ports (like Erallo’s eSpider 6400 or the eAnalog 3200 interface cards). The SCM 7800 also performs the job of controlling the sensors. The SCM has the capability for channel specific signal processing and includes a DSP processor to filter the raw sensor signals and perform limited feature extraction. It performs time stamp synchronization on the data from each sensor with a world clock -- so when an event occurs, the exact time is identified.

The customized software embedded on the SCM is capable of running on a number of different microprocessors, depending on the best fit for the application.
