On-line analysis for propulsion testing at arnold engineering development center

摘要

An on-line analysis system which makes extensive use of new technology workstations and high-speed networks to support turbine and rocket test programs at AEDC is described. This distributed workstation syustem replaces the mainframe analysis approach used at AEDC for many years. High-speed networks, new technology file servers, and analysis workstations were combined to provide timely analysis of test data for on-line test direction. In addition, communications interfaces are provided to off-site customer areas for additional analysis and feedback while the current test is in progress.
