solution

The PCI-9846 weapon data link test system is mainly composed of industrial control computer and weapon data link analog function modules. The Delphi programming language and the Chinese-style graphical user interface are used to realize the operational functions required by the test system. The industrial control computer internally expands multiple RS-422 serial interfaces and USB 2.0 interfaces. The external RS-422 interface is used for transmitting bidirectional serial control data with the weapon testing system, receiving command information, and transmitting the status information of the data link transmission to the weapon testing system through the internal RS422 interface, and also capable of weapon data. The chain simulation device performs command control. The USB2.0 interface is used to transfer or receive image and information files in an externally specified format for image and information data restoration processing. The industrial control computer is also used for test control, receiving commands from the weapon test system or locally generating commands to control the programmable attenuator via the I/O digital interface for testing data link receiver sensitivity. The industrial computer is plugged into the PCI-9846 high-speed data acquisition card to complete the image data acquisition and image analysis processing, and realize image storage and playback. The weapon data link simulation device completes the transmission of the command information, the reception of the image and the status information. The instructions are generated by a weapon test system or a local industrial computer, and the generated commands are processed, modulated, and transmitted by the module's command baseband. At the same time, the image receiver of the module receives the signal and demodulates and performs baseband processing, and inputs it to the PCI-9846 high-speed data acquisition card, and the received image is analyzed and processed by the industrial computer.

1 Overview

The traditional weapon data link test method is mainly based on the static performance parameter detection of the transmission system. It is difficult to make a correct judgment on the transient abnormality of the data link, and it is even more impossible to perform dynamic simulation test on the normal use situation. It is not effective to ensure reliable and reliable application of the data link. Weapon data chain dynamic simulation test is an important part of distributed parallel test developed by SDP (Structured Distributed Programming) technology for the new generation weapon system. While completing the data link itself test, it also simulates the other components of the weapon system. Provide matching functions.
