BUILDING A FULLY CUSTOMIZABLE WINDOWS C# SOFTWARE CLIENT TO DISPLAY TELEMETRY FROM A REAL-TIME SOFT DECOM AND DISTRIBUTION SERVER

Abstract

Once the telemetry is de-commutated by the real-time Soft Decom and Distribution Server, it will need a client to display the engineered values in real-time. To display the engineered values, the Client must connect to the real-time Soft Decom and Distribution Server using the Server’s message based subscription process. In addition, to be fully customizable, the Client needs to allow the user to select specific telemetry parameters and build displays to view the parameters. The RttmClient is a fully customizable real-time Windows client built using C#, Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), Telerik Controls for WPF and NetMQ (C# lightweight messaging library). It is capable of displaying hundreds of real-time parameters in several displays. The parameters are displayed using different controls (widgets) including Numeric, Indicator (light), Gauge, Strip Chart, Table, Container and Text.
