International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 28-31, 1996 / Town and Country Hotel and Convention Center, San Diego, California / The Common Airborne Instrumentation System (CAIS) was developed under the auspices
of the Department of Defense to promote standardization, commonality, and
interoperability among flight test instrumentation. The central characteristic of CAIS is a
common suite of equipment used across service boundaries and in many airframe and
weapon systems.
The CAIS system has many advanced capabilities which must be tested during ground
support and system test. There is a need for a common set of low cost, highly capable
ground support hardware and software tools to facilitate these tasks.
The ground support system should combine commonly available PC-based telemetry tools
with unique devices needed for CAIS applications (such as CAIS Bus Emulator, CAIS
Hardware Simulator, etc.). An integrated software suite is imperative to support this
equipment.
A CAIS Ground Support Unit (GSU) has been developed to promote these CAIS goals.
This paper presents the capabilities and features of a PC-based CAIS GSU, emphasizing
those features that are unique to CAIS. Hardware tools developed to provide CAIS Bus
Emulation and CAIS Hardware Simulation are also described.
