Development of an Oculometer Data Collection Subsystem.

Abstract

A SYM-1 microprocessor with dual 5-1/4 inch disk drives was used to develop software to gather and reduce data from a Cubic-Foot Remote Oculometer built by Honeywell, Inc. The primary function of the oculometer is to measure the look direction of a pilot's eye in a ground cockpit simulator. The output of the oculometer used for this effort is eye lookpoint in azimuth and elevation and whether the oculometer is tracking the eye or not. The line-of-sight measurement covers a viewing field of plus and minus 30 degrees in azimuth and zero to plus 30 degrees in elevation. This viewing field is broken into instruments whose boundaries are defined by the data collection subsystem. Performance measures are printed out at the end of the data mission. The software for the SYM-1 was developed modularly with each module tested separately and then the whole subsystem tested. Simulated oculometer data was used to test the software. The data collection subsystem was designed to run with minimal knowledge and interaction required by the user.
