Software Function Summaries for the Low Speed Wind Tunnel Data Acquisition System

Abstract

The data acquisition system in the Low Speed Wind Tunnel at the Aeronautical and Maritime Research Laboratory was recently upgraded. Several software packages were developed using C, X/Motif, and OpenGL programming languages and libraries. The software provides wind tunnel operators with graphical user interfaces from which test data can be easily monitored, acquired and processed. Descriptions of all software source code functions have been compiled and included as Appendices in this document. These function summaries have also been published on the Defence Science and Technology Organisation Internet for easy reference for future software development.
