Telemetry Format Compiler for the Generation of State machine Code Executed by a PCX Encoder

Abstract

Telemetry encoders commonly use programmable memory devices for the storage of data used to control the multiplexed output format. The manual generation of this program control information is tedious and error prone. A telemetry format compiler has been developed to automate this process. A high level definition of the format information is processed to result in a binary object file which is programmed into the memory of the encoder and executed by the state machine controlling the encoding.
