The Data from Aeromechanics Test and Analytics -- Management and Analysis Package (DATAMAP). Volume I. User's Manual.
Abstract
The Data from Aeromechanics Test and Analytics - Management and Analysis Package (DATAMAP) was designed and programmed as a computer software tool for data management and processing of large, time-based data bases. Particular attention is given to rotorcraft-related analyses. The package will process data stored in two basic formats. The first format is that used for the Operational Loads Survey (OLS) test data based and anticipated for use in planned flight test programs. The second format is more general; it accommodates various data structures common to analytical data bases. This particular input capability is demonstrated by an interface between the Rotorcraft Flight Simulation Program (C81) and DATAMAP. The package transfers selected data to a large, direct access disc file and maintains the data on a semi-permanent basis. Data are retrieved from this file, processed, and displayed interactively or in batch. Plot output is generated on a Tektronix 4014 or an incremental plotter (e.g., Calcomp). A small sample of available processing options includes amplitude spectrum, harmonic analysis, digital filtering, auto-spectral density, frequency response function, acoustic analyses, and blade static pressure and normal force coefficient derivations. This program will accommodate data from multiple sensors simultaneously for processing of functions with two geometric independent variables (e.g., chord and radius). The package is written entirely in FORTRAN. Package specifications require nonstandard FORTRAN coding to be used, but the package has been made as easily transportable as possible.
