User Friendly GUI
The Host Computer is a Pentium based IBM PC compatible computer that hosts the RES graphical user interface (GUI) software package designed by KOR Electronics for developing and monitoring scenarios, as well as performing all maintenance functions (like Built-In-Test and Calibration). The graphical user interface allows the operator to develop scenarios with minimal effort utilizing libraries of components ranging from target definitions to System Under Test (SUT) antenna patterns. The operator is provided the ultimate in control and flexibility via user definable tables (UDT) for entering or modifying data files stored in these libraries.
The RES Host also provides the ability to monitor scenario progress, including SUT and target positions, select platform data and radar mode parameters. The ability to remove targets from the scenario or activate targets later in the scenario is also provided. System commands like Run, Freeze, Resume, Stop, and Dry Run are provided to the operator for execution control. Commands may optionally be set to execute automatically based on IRIG time, thus allowing precise scenario operation control amongst multiple test assets simultaneously.
For real-time simulation, the RES VMEbus architecture provides an industry standard, high speed, modular approach to support the most sophisticated radar system. This architecture is ideal for interfacing with additional radars, adding additional system capabilities, and upgrading system performance through advancements in microprocessor and digital signal processing Technology.
