Student Response Monitor
Disan P/N SRM-3

Description

    Student Response Monitors (SRM) – In 1968, the FAA awarded Disan a contract to design, test, and manufacture a teaching aid known as a Student Response Monitor (SRM) to be used at the academy in Oklahoma City. The unit permits the instructor to ask a question with a multi-choice answer. The student is alerted to the question, enters a chosen answer (A, B, or C) with various programmed options, and the instructor is immediately alerted to the individual answers of all of the students simultaneously. The initial design utilized relay logic. The mechanical and electronic design and fabrication was accomplished in-house.

    Over the years, the system has undergone many upgrades and the latest systems utilize digital IC’s on multi-layer PCB. Approximately 80 of these units have been built for the FAA, Weather Bureau (Dept of Commerce), Canadian Air Transport Service and Spartan School of Aviation. It is our understanding that some of the original units are still in service after 32 years!
