analysis VI's, Sub VI components which call other VI's, and network and file I/O functions
that store or retrieve data in ASCII, binary, or spreadsheet formats.
Icon/Connector
The icon/connector is the calling interface. The icon is the graphical ID of the VI, and the
connector assigns controls and indicators to VI input and output terminals.
Test Software
The Test Software is an application program that was developed using LabView software
(National Instrument) and Concept VI Image Processing Library (Graftek). It is intended to help
the repair person diagnose DMC malfunctions. Programs developed using LabView are called
virtual instruments (VI's).
The developed software consists of a Tester which invokes the necessary sub-VI's routines that
allow the repair person to check the DMC.
When the Tester is invoked, it performs and verifies specified camera tests.
At the completion of the specified test, a report file is generated by the Tester indicating
whether or not the tested functions passed (
Pass
) or failed (
Fail
). It also list the current
parameters for the test functions so that repair person can verify the tested functions with the
DMC's specifications.
If the report file indicates that all or a particular function failed (
Fail
), the repair person can
compare the current parameters with the DMC's specifications to determine how to bring the
failed function/functions back into specification.
