SPREE Interactive Data Analysis Tool (SIDAT)
Abstract
The SPREE Interactive Data Analysis Tool (SIDAT) is a collection of user-friendly display processes for performing real-time and postflight analysis of data from the Shuttle Potential and Return Electron Experiment (SPREE). SPREE was used to study the effects of a potential being induced between a tethered satellite and the Shuttle by the motion of the conductive tether across the Earth's magnetic field lines. Full-color raster graphics and text displays were used for the data presentation, utilizing the X11 and XView X Window System libraries. The SIDAT data display processes allowed the SPREE data and other related data to be viewed in a variety of formats simultaneously. During flight, SIDAT displayed the current or previously captured real-time SPREE telemetry data. SIDAT postflight operations allow the user to perform rapid data survey for analysis. The user specified the times for data survey, displaying either the captured real-time SPREE telemetry data or the SPREE data archived by the Flight Data Recorders....
