Telemetry Network Standard Handbook
Abstract
The Telemetry Network Standard (TmNS) defined in Chapters 21-28 of IRIG 106 provides the framework for which network-based telemetry systems are built. The TmNS leverages existing standards and protocols as well as defines some of its own in order to meet the unique requirements of the flight test domain. These standards identify interfaces for configuration, management, network transport protocols, a two-way telemetry link, and various other system and component capabilities. On its own, the TmNS does not define a system; rather, it is a toolbox that contains everything needed to build a TmNS-based system. The purpose of this handbook is to provide guidance to a system designer for how to use the available tools of the TmNS in order to build a TmNS-based system that meets the capabilities of the system. This includes the process of component selection (generic, not vendor-specific) and configuration in order to achieve the desired system capability. This handbook is written with two primary audiences in mind: system designers and component developers. The system designers are primarily interested in the interfaces, protocols, and components necessary to field a particular system capability. On the other hand, component developers will be most interested in seeing Metadata Description Language (MDL) example configurations of capabilities that their components will need to implement. This handbook is organized by various system-level capabilities, allowing system designers to easily understand what components and capabilities are required in order to realize the system-level capability of interest. For each capability, MDL examples are provided as a reference for component developers for the specific component capabilities that accompany the system-level capability.
