Remotely programmable on-line processors as an aid to experimenters
Abstract
Remotely programmable on-line computers based on microprocessors are discussed, with particular attention given to their application to Spacelab experiments; for deep-space mission (e.g., Helios, Voyager) processors with small bit-rate capabilities, remote programming is not feasible. The software and process language adopted for remote programming are considered; simulation of remote programming for experiments is also described. Quick-look capability, up-link and down-link data transmission rates, and data compression techniques are reviewed. Cost and man-hour savings due to the introduction of remote programming are also mentioned.
