Abstract

Flight Test Instrumentation is a process where multiple measurements must be acquired by means of different equipment and acquisitions systems. With the Ethernet adoption, multiple vendor solutions can be connected to the Flight Test acquisition network. As a consequence, vendor-specific Systems configuration is not enough for the control and generation of a global FTI configuration.
Having in mind the requirement of flexibility and compatibility, Flight Test in Airbus Defence and Space is working on the implementation of a generic architecture capable to set up complex Ethernet architectures using a business-model-agnostic paradigm. This document explains the main steps in the programming generation process: definition of the input interfaces, design of a core solution based on a plug-in philosophy (allowing an easy integration of new components/manufacturers/protocols), and output generation.
