MicroVAX/Bus Communication Testing Software for the Low Speed Wind Tunnel Data Acquisition System

Abstract

Software has been developed to test the communication between the MicroVAX computer and the bi-directional parallel data bus in the Low Speed Wind Tunnel (LSWT) data acquisition system. It enables reading any combination of data parameters from the bus for a user-defined number of iterations. An output file is created which contains the final values, average bus communication times associated with the read process and a statistical analysis of the recorded data. This report describes the operation of the software and presents results of tests performed on the existing data acquisition configuration.
