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 / The Telemetry Data Center (TDC) at White Sands Missile Range (WSMR), New Mexico
recently targeted analog best source selectors for replacement along with their associated
signal handling equipments. The commercial selectors available offered no better
performance, so TDC engineers circulated a "White Paper" on real time correlation
based compositing. Within two years a Correlating Source Selector (CSS) was fielded
successfully. The CSS’s bridging feature unexpectedly opened the door to a ubiqituous
software decommutator (decom) that has catalyzed a complete “make-over” of the entire
TDC architecture.
Hardware and software interaction in a decom is different with the CSS. While performing
its correlation tasks the CSS is able to provide raw data over TCP/IP directly to the
end application. The CSS places the data in computer friendly frame aligned form and
the decommutation may be performed in software. The converse is similarly simple, a
data file maybe transferred to the CSS for commutation into PCM.
This white paper describes the morphing of software decommutation into a commodity,
integrated into each end device, be it graphics display, Disk or Chart recorder. The result
is an interesting consolidation that spawns a new functionally integrated Telemetry
Data Center ( iTDC). This integrated Display Decom (iDD) concept has been demonstrated
on Apple G5 RISC computers.
