• CPU Module - Both the BPR and Surface Buoy electronics payloads utilize a separate Motorola 32-bit,
3.3 volt computer. The BPR computer runs the detection algorithms while both CPUs support the
acoustic and satellite communications processing and protocols. The BPR is equipped with a data
flash card for storage of each 15-sec sampling window. The BPR computer reads the pressure and
temperature data and stores that information in the flash memory card. This action generates about
18 megabytes of data per year. Quantity – 1.
