Revised Nov 12, 2013 

The bottom line has three sections separated by colons (:) which indicate the 
status of hardware inside the WQAR: 

 

Left Section:

  Monitors the status of the cellular radios by 

displaying whether power is applied to the radios and the 
connection status. 

 

R_On:

  Radio(s) are powered on.  This is the default 

state while the aircraft is on the ground. 

 

R_Off:

  Radio(s) are powered off. 

 

CON:

  Connected.  The WQAR has achieved a 

connection with the WGCM.  “

NO_CON

 

may be 

displayed if a connection attempt fails. 

 

DN:

  Downloading.  The WQAR is currently downloading 

data to the base station. 

 

UP:

  Uploading.  The WQAR is currently uploading data 

from the base station. 

 

Middle Section:

  Monitors the status of the airborne data 

files such as whether the files are ready for transmission. 

 

RDY:

  Ready.  The WQAR has met the minimum raw 

data requirements to transmit data. 

 

RCD:

  Recording Completion Delay.  The WQAR is 

waiting for any final data from the acquisition unit 
before performing final compression and closing of the 
data file. 

 

CMP:

  Compression.  The WQAR is actively compressing 

data at this time. 

 

<Blank>:

  The WQAR is not in any of the above states. 

 

Right Section:

  Monitors the status of the RF Interlocks.  A 

discussion of the RF interlocks is in Section 1.   In Figures 4 
and 5, the RF Interlocks are shown to be off.
