ITC/USA 2005 Conference Proceedings / The Forty-First Annual International Telemetering Conference and Technical Exhibition / October 24-27, 2005 / Riviera Hotel & Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada / Designing and implementing an instrumentation cockpit display system presents many unique
challenges. The system must be easy to use, yet highly customizable. Typically, these systems
require an experienced programmer to create graphical display screens. Furthermore, most
current display systems do not provide for bi-directional communication between the
instrumentation system and the display system.
This paper discusses an architecture that addresses these issues and other common problems with
cockpit displays. This system captures data from the instrumentation system, displays
parameters, and returns calculated parameters and status information regarding pilot actions to
the instrumentation system. Unlike traditional systems, the configuration of the graphical
presentation of the cockpit display can be done by a non-programmer. All communication
between the instrumentation system and the cockpit display system is done transparently using
XML. The usage of XML in this system facilitates real-time form previewing, cross-platform
compatibility, and seamless transitions between project management, graphical configuration,
and engineering unit conversions.
