The simulator is useful for investigating the function and operation of a packet telecommand and telemetry system. The user can control the sending of simulated packets and directives and can observe the working of the system. Factors such as timing delays and buffer availability can be varied to show how they affect performance. Non-nominal situations such as lockout, a faulty telecommand decoder and loss of telemetry can be simulated. The interactions from a run are saved in report files and can be re-run to reproduce significant cases.
The simulator contains full implementations of the telecommand ground based (encoder) and on-board (decoder) elements, built from our telecommand shell products. Similarly, the telemetry on-board (encoder) and ground-system (decoder) elements are built from our telemetry shell products.
The simulator is an executable program which runs on a PC under Windows 98/NT or later.
