Application of High Performance Avionics Test and Analysis Software Tools to Chapter 10 Data

Abstract

For many years, telemetry data has been captured and exchanged in IRIG 106 Chapter 10 format. Traditionally, the emphasis has been on the analysis and display of chapter 10 formatted PCM data. In recent years, avionics bus and network data has become much more widely used. Due to the lack of specialized tools to allow engineers to quickly and efficiently view bus parameters, the manipulation and analysis of this data after it is acquired has been a time consuming process. This paper will present a solution to this problem by the use of commercially available software tools used in conjunction with a common parameter database and a Chapter 10 "translator".
