SYSTEM FOR ACTIVE DATA ACQUISITION MANAGEMENT IN A GAS TURBINE ENGINE
First Claim
1. An aircraft sensor system comprising:
- a first sensor configured to detect a parameter of an aircraft system;
a first micro electro-mechanical-system (MEMS) disposed local to a first component within the aircraft system, the first MEMS being communicatively connected to a controller, and being configured to trigger in response to a corresponding parameter exceeding a threshold; and
the controller being connected to an output of the first sensor and including a non-transitory memory storing instructions configured to cause the controller to increase a sampling rate of the first sensor to a sampling rate corresponding to the first component for at least a predetermined length of time in response to the first MEMS being triggered.

Abstract
An aircraft sensor system includes a first sensor configured to detect a parameter of an aircraft system and a first micro electro-mechanical-system (MEMS) disposed local to a first component within the aircraft system. The first MEMS is communicatively connected to a controller, and is configured to trigger in response to a corresponding parameter exceeding a threshold. The controller is connected to an output of the first sensor and includes a non-transitory memory storing instructions configured to cause the controller to increase a sampling rate of the first sensor to a sampling rate corresponding to the first component for at least a predetermined length of time in response to the first MEMS being triggered.
