Frame-Synchronization-Assisting Module
Auxiliary data processor does computations related to synchronization of frames of telemetry data, relieving main processor of task. Called frame-synchronization-assisting module (FSAM), sorts through large amounts of data to determine whether valid and how configured. Module connected to main processor of computer through direct-memory-access (interface) module. Examines data in computer memory to find frame-synchronizing codes.
