Configurable aircraft data acquisition and/or transmission system

摘要

An aircraft data acquisition and/or transmission system comprises a memory having stored therein a first state machine configuration comprising a first allocation between a plurality of transition criteria objects stored in a first area of the memory and a plurality of state objects stored in a second area of the memory separate from the first area. A processor is coupled to the memory and at least one application executable by the processor causes a first data acquisition and/or transmission behavior in the aircraft by running the first state machine configuration, receives a second state machine configuration comprising a second allocation between the plurality of transition criteria objects and the plurality of state objects, and causes a second data acquisition and/or transmission behavior in the aircraft by running the second state machine configuration.

1. An aircraft data acquisition and transmission system comprising: a memory having stored therein a first state machine configuration comprising a first allocation between a plurality of transition criteria objects stored in a first area of the memory and a plurality of state objects stored in a second area of the memory separate from the first area, the transition criteria objects and the state objects corresponding to aircraft-certified components; a processor coupled to the memory; and at least one aircraft-certified application executable by the processor for: causing a first data acquisition and/or transmission behavior in the aircraft by running the first state machine configuration; receiving a second state machine configuration comprising a second allocation between the plurality of transition criteria objects and the plurality of state objects, the second state machine configuration modifying a software behavior of the system and certification of the application and the components being unaffected by the modified software behavior; and causing a second data acquisition and/or transmission behavior in the aircraft by running the second state machine configuration.
