Data Server for Real-Time Display Interface

The purpose of this software is to decouple display and data interface functions by developing a central data server. By using the centralized data server, flight displays can be easily transferred between simulators and research airplanes without having to reprogram flight display graphics. Therefore, to drive flight displays, only a single software interface needs to be written to communicate with the data server. Further, the interface to the server has the ability to add and remove variables from the data server in real-time. This allows for great flexibility in the use of the data server. This design allows data to be centrally recorded and played back on the flight deck displays for later analysis by researchers.
