InControl's procedure platform
allows automated operations that include logical and flow evaluations,
user promptings, telemetry checking and commanding.
Procedures provide the following capabilities:
- Parameterization and spacecraft definition data access – allows
generic procedures to be written for spacecraft families.
- Outlining – a stage step is provided that works
much like the Microsoft Word paragraph heading concept. This concept
allows a procedure writer to outline a procedure and gradually fill
in more detail with nested stages.
- Flow of Control – the procedure language includes
IF-ELSE, DO, CASE, and GOTO statements.
- Commanding – the procedure language allows
single and block commands and allows all command context data to
be set
- Telemetry access – the procedure language allows
access to raw and EU values for all parameters from all streams (e.g.
normal and dwell). It also allows access to status and limit data.
- Subprocedures and spawning – the procedure
language allows unlimited nesting as well as the capability to spawn.
- Data display – the procedure language provides
the capability to display plots, ANDs and mimics at the local operator
console and to snap those displays to the as-run log.
