POTOK unified software package

POTOK unified software package, scheme

Package destination: Integrated automation of an experiment in wind tunnels at stages of preparation and conduction of an experiment; data procession, analysis and presentation.
Types of experiment Balance, heat, pressure distribution, unsteady processes etc.
Instrumentation Local Pentium-based network, measurement equipment of various standards.
Operation system Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows ХР
Main functional abilities of a package
  • automatic preparation of informational-measurement control system to the experiment: testing of subsystems, automatic data input into a database;
  • centralized control of an experiment in manual or automatic regime or by operator's orders, synchronization of operation of measurement and control subsystems;
  • multi-regime data acquisition: acquisition of data from measurement facilities of various types with nominated measurement rate for each measurement channel;
  • operative data procession and presentation;
  • simultaneous conduction of various types of experiment on several wind tunnels with application of a common measurement system;
  • complete procession and presentation of experimental results.
Features of a package
  • scaling by number of computers in a local network;
  • flexible reconfiguration of applied measurement equipment and applied functions;
  • support of online regimes in a local network: installed mechanisms of commands' and messages transfer, common online data area;
  • distributed data procession;
  • in-detail structured database for various types of experiment;
  • provision of unification of applied programs and data;
  • open architecture for enlargement of software and hardware means.
Composition of a package The package consists of a core and a set of applied programs. The core provides online package operation in a local network and means of access to the database of aerodynamic experiment. Set of unified applied programs provides functional filling of a package.
  The package is successfully applied in TsAGI wind tunnels T-102, T-103, T-106, T-112, T-113, T-116, T-128 and others.
