The Locomotive Data Acquisition Package (LDAP) is a complete data acquisition system designed specifically for use on board railroad locomotives to study locomotive performance while in normal over-the-road operations. It is a semi-portable system requiring only limited installation support commonly found in railroad shops. The system may be applied to study energy conservation measures as well as train dynamics. The system described consists of a magnetic tape digital data recorder, an ensemble of transducers, and analysis software. This volume discusses the operation and maintenance of the Locomotive Data Recorder (LDR) which is the heart of the LDAP system.
