International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 25-28, 1999 / Riviera Hotel and Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada / In recent years the telemetry community has encountered a growing demand for bandwidth from users and a corresponding loss of spectrum. The Advanced Range Telemetry (ARTM) Program has responded to this situation with an initiative to develop, demonstrate, and improve the management and control of telemetry resources using demand assigned multiple access (DAMA) techniques. This initiative has proceeded along two paths. The first path is in the development of an expert system to facilitate the scheduling of telemetry missions and the deconfliction of their frequencies. This system emphasizes the graphical manipulation of mission data and uses a genetic algorithm to search for an optimal set of mission frequencies. The second path is the development of a bidirectional command and control link to remotely control and configure the frequency of a telemetry link. This link uses the simple network management protocol (SNMP) over a wireless Internet Protocol (IP) network implemented with Digital Communications Network System (DCNS) units.

This thesis describes the possibilities of local and remote sensors configuration. Summary overview of the most common Fieldbus and protocols for remote configuration is performed. The focus is mainly dedicated to the HART protocol that is analyzed from the physical layer to the application layer. Circuit diagram and printed circuit board (PCB) of smart sensor with thermistor probe Pt1000 was designed. The HART protocol allows the smart sensor parameters setting as well. The functionality of remote configuration was tested in HARTWinConf program. The control elements for local sensor configuration, such as buttons, matrix keyboards and touchscreens, are described in the following chapter. Representation of the measurement values on display module is introduced too. The most important parameters and aspect of character LCD, graphics LCD and OLED displays are described in greater details. The DD12864YO-3A OLED display was selected to use with designed temperature smart sensor module. The display shows the loop current, the percentage of current range and the primary value - temperature. As the last step the EMI and EMS tests for all modules were performed.
