DSPFRC - Force and Moment Data Display and Monitoring Program for the Low Speed Wind Tunnel at DSTO

Abstract

DSTO operates a low speed wind tunnel within the Air Vehicles Division of the Platforms Sciences Laboratory. Airspeeds up to approximately 100 m/s can be produced in the empty test section which is 2.7 m wide by 2.1 m high. Realtime display of acquired test data from the wind tunnel is important for providing feedback to the project manager and test engineer. A software package called DSPFRC was developed for this purpose, giving a graphical display of the force and moment coefficients. This document provides details of the software and its operation. It also provides information on programming and development considerations of the software.
