3 Day Open Conference

The use of recorder playback for high-speed testing
Tuesday 18th November 2008
14.00 - 14.20
Auditorium 2

A recorder has more then one function. It can be used to record data, but it can also be used to playback data. The data can either be from actual test scenarios or it can be generated data specifically designed to verify the avionics system performance under conditions not easily obtained in actual flight conditions. This presentation will describe the characteristics of a record / playback system that would support this type of testing. It will also cove the capabilities needed to generate data to provide multiple test cases in the lab. The presentation will focus on high-speed data such as that received from modern sensors. The same techniques presented can also be used for multiple low speed data streams.
