Display System Architecture Onboard Server Raw Data Image Data Onboard Display(s) Processor (e.g. MCR) UDP Processor (time-series & 2d) UDP Broadcast Imaging (e.g. AIMR) netCDF (HRT) SQL (LRT) “Smart” Instruments SATCOM (on ground) QC Display(s) Video titling
Access to Data - onboard • ASCII data feeds of scalar time-series • Network UDP broadcast • Serial feed; Digi SP-One (converts UDP to RS232) • SQL Database/repository • Network read-writable by anyone • has permissions control • easy to use and very common

Display Programs • Portable (Windows & Linux) with ease of total install. Qt for GUI, Qwt for plotting. • As near real-time as possible (current delay is ~2.5 seconds from DAQ to display). • “standard” displays should cover all obvious and current time-series plots and RAF facility instruments. • Real-time & Post-processing
“Standard” display types • Time-series • XY & flight track • ASCII • lists • Fixed • QC • Histograms • PMS-2D • Skew-T • Imager which can handle “scans” as defined • Video (ftp direct to camera for RT). • GIF/PNG/JPG viewer
Quality Control/Check (QC) • Range check • Spike detection • Flat-line detection • Level shift
Physical Displays • Commodity rack mount (vs. built in) • Take advantage of latest technology • Laptop still best solution • Battery = UPS • Thin & light • Wireless notepad computers?
Software Standards • Revision control • Bugzilla for bug tracking • Common look and feel for displays • Common coding standard
