2.3 Graphical user interface cyber
®
reaction wheel assistant
The graphical user interface cyber
®
reaction wheel assistant allows a very fast, easy and
comprehensive startup and diagnosis of the reaction wheel. The assistant uses UART to
establish a connection to the reaction wheel and allows startup as stand-alone module as
described in section 3.3. Furthermore, the cyber
®
reaction wheel assistant can be used very well
for diagnostics when integrating the reaction wheels into the target application. The options for
this are explained in section 3.5.
With the cyber
®
reaction wheel assistant, the user can also set the I2C address and the baud rate
of the reaction wheels for the target application, for example. Information and assistance can be
found in the CHM-Help of the cyber
®
reaction wheel assistant.
2.3.1 Installation of the cyber
®
reaction wheel assistant
The cyber
®
reaction wheel assistant is required to be able to easily control the reaction wheel.
System requirements:

2.3.2 CHM-Help
CHM-Help is an integral part of the cyber
®
reaction wheel assistant. This integrated help tool
provides information on all parameters and screens and detailed descriptions.
The CHM-Help can be accessed best by pressing F1 when the cyber
®
reaction wheel assistant is
open. More targeted help is provided by clicking on the question mark
in the respective
context menu.
2.3.3 Oscilloscope
The oscilloscope is a very helpful diagnostics tool for the reaction wheel. The feature is located
directly in the main menu of the cyber
®
reaction wheel assistant by clicking the Scope menu item.
With its eight freely configurable channels, many states can be recorded, analyzed, exported and
imported.
The scope of functions of the oscilloscope is also described in the CHM-Help. To access it,
simply click on
in the Scope menu.
