International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 27-30, 1997 / Riviera Hotel and Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada / Telemetry format descriptions and engineering unit conversion calibrations are generated
in an assortment of formats and numbering systems on various media. Usually this
information comes to the central telemetry receiving/processing system from multiple
sources, fragmented and disjointed. As present day flight tests require more and more
telemetry parameters to be instrumented and processed, standardization and automation for
handling this ever increasing amount of information becomes more and more critical. In
response to this need, the Telemetry Definition and Processing (TDAP) system has been
developed by the Air Force Development Test Center (AFDTC) Eglin AFB, Florida.
TDAP standardizes the format of information required to convert PCM data and MIL-STD-1553 Bus data into engineering units. This includes both the format of the data files
and the software necessary to display, output, and extract subsets of data. These
standardized files are electronically available for TDAP users to review/update and are
then used to automatically set up telemetry acquisition systems. This paper describes how
TDAP is used to standardize the development and operational test community’s telemetry
data reduction process, both real-time and post-test.
