A PC Database and GUI for Telemetry Data Reduction

摘要

The Telemetry Definition and Processing (TDAP II) application is a PC-based software tool that meets the varied needs both now and into the 21~st century of instrumentation engineers, data analysts, test engineers, and project personnel in the Test and Evaluation (T&E) community. TDAP II uses state-of-the-art commercial software technology that includes a Microsoft Access 97~TM database and a Microsoft Visual Basic~TM Graphical User Interface (GUI) for users to view and navigate the database. Developed by the Test and Analysis Division of the 96~th Communications Group for the tenants of the Air Armament Center (AAC), Eglin AFB Florida, TDAP II provides a centralized repository for both aircraft and weapons instrumentation descriptions and telemetry EU conversion calibrations. Operating in a client/server environment, TDAP II can be effectively used on a small or large network as well as on both a classified or unclassified Intranet or Internet. this paepr describes the components and designof this application, along with its operational flexibility and varied uses resulting from the chosen commercial software technology.
