Program Documentation for the All Digital Cockpit Display System Programs,

摘要

The All Digital Cockpit Display (ADCD) System Programs were written for the Systems Effectiveness Branch (HES), Human Engineering Division, Aerospace Medical Research Laboratory (AMRL). The overall function of the entire system of programs is to provide a means for studying displays portraying information presently displayed on instruments in the cockpit of a single seated fighter aircraft, and to collect and analyze output data from simulated missions. The system uses an IBM 2250 Display Unit to generate displays that simulate the aerodynamic status, engine status, and navigation status of an aircraft as it would appear during flight. This system was written for an IBM System/360, Model 40 Computer. Both assembler language and FORTRAN IV were used in coding the subroutines and the Graphic Programming Services for the 2250 were used for the graphics software support. An IBM 1827 Data Control Unit is used as an interface between the computer and the controls of the simulated fighter aircraft.
