FOCUSED AUTOMATED DISCOVERY OF TELEMETRY DEVICE CONSTRAINTS

Configuring typical devices in the telemetry community requires the creation of complex,
device-specific configuration files. While the grammar of the configuration files is vendor
neutral, the device specific details are vendor specific. Thus, a naïve approach to building these
files is to construct a file, test it against a device, and then iterate. The specification sheets (and
other documents) for the device can serve as a guide, but the details of flight test configuration
possibilities are immense and, in this community, typically not fully documented. This paper
describes a process of creating a set of general rules describing characteristics of a configuration
file and using those rules to discover the configuration constraints of telemetry devices
automatically. The discovered constraints posed by a particular vendor’s device can then be
quickly formed into a correct-by-construction constraint-based grammar for use in other systems.
